KiLynn King talks a potential run in WWE.
Before Triple H became the head of creative in WWE back in July, the company was seemingly moving away from signing talent from the independent scene due to their groundbreaking NIL program that gives them easier access to collegiate athletes. That mindset has seemingly shifted in recent months, although the company looks to still be committed to their NIL athletes.
Previously, independent star KiLynn King noted that she didn't see herself in WWE due to their previous mindset when it came to hiring talent. In a new interview with the Putting You Over podcast, King clarified her comments and said that she'd love to end up in WWE.
"I regret the way I phrased that. I didn’t mean that I never saw myself in WWE. I just didn’t think it was a possibility for me because I’m not shy about it, I’m in my 30s. I’m 31, almost 32, and all the rumors you hear about what they expect and what they want, you’re like, ‘Okay, well, I know I’m a good worker. I know I’m a good performer, but if they’re being very strict about that, maybe that’s not where I’m meant to end up. Would I love to end up in WWE? Absolutely. Work is work, exposure is exposure, and WWE has been around for a long-ass time for a reason. So yeah, of course I would love to end up in WWE. That would be very, very cool. I’m just not sure if that’s ever going to happen because I waited as long as I did to get into wrestling. I missed what they consider to the prime. I think I’m doing pretty good in my 30s, but whatever [laughs]. I love the female talent that they’re bringing in right now, across all brands. I really think that some of their women are reshaping their division. It’s really cool to watch."
