LOOK: Ohio State basketball’s Seth Towns gets approached by WWE

According to a DM Ohio State basketball forward Seth Towns shared on Twitter, the WWE is apparently interested Seth Towns. No joke.

If this whole basketball thing doesn’t work out at Ohio State for Seth Towns, it appears he may have a career in another sport. At least, depending on what you believe with what you see from the WWE when you turn your television set or streaming device on.

That’s because Towns shared a DM directed at him on Twitter from WWE talent search inquiring if he would be interested in an opportunity to become a professional wrestler. And yeah, it’s not April Fool’s Day — it all appears to be legit.

“I hope this finds you well,” the DM read. ” I work in the talent department for the WWE. I am reaching out to see if you might be interested in an opportunity to try out for the WWE. Please let me know and I’d be happy to set up a call to discuss further.”

I mean, I know the Big Ten is known for some rough and tumble basketball, and I’m sure a 6-foot, 8-inch, 230-pounder fits the ideal mold of a wrestling superstar, but let’s let the kid finish his collegiate career first OK?

However, it would be fun to try and come up with whatever name Towns would wrestle under in the WWE.
