Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s reputation precedes him wherever he goes. His image is that of a player who can do just about anything and being a WWE superstar is definitely something he’d be good at.

If you wondered how he ever manages to contort his body and score those amazing goals, it’s because he has a black belt in taekwondo. In fact, the Italian national taekwondo team presented him an honourary black belt .

Zlatan’s persona is already larger than life and the writers at WWE could easily hook him up with a grandiose ‘heel’ story that audiences would lap up. He might have been the man to make the ‘League of Nations’ into a successful faction instead of the joke it became before it was disbanded.

Or, he could be another ‘strong style’ wrestler for the WWE who would give Shinsuke Nakamura a run for his money.

In case you find yourself unconvinced, just think of that goal he scored for Sweden against England during a friendly in 2012, that outrageous overhead kick that resulted in one of the most iconic goals in international football.
