WWE SummerSlam is gearing up for an exciting two-night event at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey this weekend (August 2 & 3).
Football legend and former NY Giants quarterback Eli Manning couldn’t resist the temptation to drop by his iconic turf for The Eli Manning Show. He’s trying out for a spot in SummerSlam, going up against his fellow teammate Shaun O’Hara. Joining the fun were WWE stars Bianca Belair and the Street Profits, who came to give some tips and judge the performances of these NFL stars.
Check out the sneak peek of Eli’s WWE audition on social media! You can catch the full video over on YouTube right here.
Eli made quite the flashy entrance as “The Eli-minator!” While he might not fit the typical pro wrestling mold, he sure delivered some sharp one-liners, including a zesty jab: “I’m so good, you got my name written on your pants!”
Looking ahead, it seems like Eli has a bright future in the WWE arena, especially since right now, the bar was set at Jelly Roll getting slammed by his opponents. Remember when Eli threw some shade at Tom Brady last June? So don’t count out a possible rumble between these two fierce adversaries at WrestleMania!
