Celtics Center Enes Kanter Plans to Join WWE After Retirement From NBA

Celtics center Enes Kanter has logged an impressive NBA career, tallying over 7,000 points in nine professional seasons. But it looks as though Kanter already has his next job lined up whenever he's ready to leave the hardwood.

"I'm definitely becoming a WWE wrestler, for sure," Kanter told Stadium's Shams Charania in an interview released on Wednesday. "I already have offers from WWE, but I gotta to finish my basketball career first."

Kanter is no stranger to spending time in the ring. He appeared at WWE Raw in September 2019, holding the WWE championship belt for 22 seconds before losing it to R-Truth.
