#2 Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba is no brawler like the previous two on this list. In fact, he’s quite a friendly guy who everyone seems to like. So, why is he on this list about players who could make it in the WWE.

Anyone who followed his transfer saga with close attention will already realise the answer to that question. While the young midfielder was on holiday in the U.S.A. he teased fans with videos of him practicing kickboxing, specifically Muay Thai, with his trainer in New York.

With quite a few mixed martial arts moves under his belt, Pogba looks like he would do really well in the world of professional wrestling. He has the skills to pull off a successful ‘face’ routine that will have fans eating out of the palm of his hands.

The young Frenchman has the right combination of social media popularity and exotic skills to be a huge hit with the WWE universe. In fact, he is just the kind of person the New Day could invite to be a fourth member of their team.

He already has a finishing move, the ‘Pogba Combo’ which is a mix of very quick punches, twist, and a high kick. His entrance music – the song by Stormzy in the Adidas video celebrating Pogba’s signing. He could even do the dab after his entrance music has played out and he’s finally in the ring.
