Over the years, WWE fans have witnessed multiple unexpected names grace the squared circle. Mainstream celebrities like Bad Bunny and Logan Paul have found much success inside the ring. Meanwhile, a backstage personality wants a hockey player do the same.
RAW correspondent Jackie Redmond recently discussed the possibility of seeing a hockey name trade their skates for wrestling boots in an interview with Gabby AF. Redmond said if Pat McAfee, who is a former football player, could get a match, a hockey personality might also get the opportunity to showcase their talent inside the squared circle.
She also mentioned that CM Punk could help her bring in a hockey star, as he is also a big fan of the sport like her. Redmond also named Otis and Jey Uso as their potential trainers.

"Pat McAfee got a match, former football player. Why can't a hockey player get a match at some point down the road? Who knows, we’ll see. But CM Punk can try to help me make that happen, maybe. I don't know. A big hockey fan, so is Otis. Jey [Uso] is becoming one over time," Jackie Redmond said.
A popular ex-WWE name wanted to take up a different role before her exit
Samantha Irvin shocked the world by announcing her departure from WWE last month. Reportedly, she left the Stamford-based company to pursue a music career.
While responding to a fan's comment on her Instagram post, Irvin revealed she didn’t love announcing. She disclosed that it was merely a way for her to enter the pro wrestling industry. The 35-year-old was more interested in playing an on-screen role.
She pitched ideas of being a manager and even a general manager, but they were seemingly rejected by the creative team.
"I don’t like announcing, I’m serious! Announcing was only supposed to be my way in. I wanted to manage, maybe even become a general manager one day. But WWE saw no other future for me besides announcer. I love watching the action, but I don’t love being an announcer,” wrote Samantha Irvin.
It will be interesting to see whether Jackie Redmond actually makes her WWE in-ring debut at some point.
