WWE has always welcomed celebrities from other fields with open arms. Many of these stars have made guest appearances on the company's TV shows. Some of them even hosted weekly and monthly shows. However, only a few of them got a real taste of in-ring action.
Some celebrities played a deciding role in important matches. Jon Stewart, for example, hit John Cena with a steel chair to help Seth Rollins capture the United States Championship at SummerSlam 2015. Hugh Jackman also got his hands on Dolph Ziggler to help Zack Ryder defeat The Showoff on RAW.
Other celebrities like Mr T, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Kevin Federline went the extra mile in their WWE appearances by competing in the ring against WWE Superstars.
Bad Bunny is now preparing to become the next celebrity to compete in the WWE squared circle. He will team up with Damian Priest to take on The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37.
There is a list of celebrities who might consider Bad Bunny lucky to get the opportunity to compete in the wrestling ring, which is something they desire to do themselves. It is a list that includes some of the biggest names in the film and music industries. They are all waiting to live that experience. Some of them even named their dream opponents.
Here are five celebrities who want to wrestle in WWE.
#5 Oscar-winner Charlize Theron is willing to wrestle in WWE
Charlize Theron is a household name in the film industry. The Hollywood star is an Academy Award winner. However, Theron seems to be hungry for a Slammy too.
The actress was Kofi Kingston's guest in a YouTube interview back in July last year. The WWE Superstar told the Hollywood star that he would like to see her cross over into his world and face some of the biggest female superstars like Charlotte Flair, Bayley and Sasha Banks.
In response, Theron said that she is open to living that experience:
"When and where? I know we're in a crisis situation right now, so it's not anytime soon, but that sounds awesome. I will get my a** kicked, and that will be really entertaining for everybody to watch because I am a mere actor, but it would be so much fun."
She stated that she has no previous fighting background:
"I have zero martial arts background. I do have a background in ballet, I was a ballerina for the first part of my life, that was my first career. Strangely, I was a physical storyteller before I was a verbal one."

#4. Justin Bieber was close to having a match in WWE
Justin Bieber is another celebrity who wants to get inside the WWE ring and fight. The pop star nearly had his wish fulfilled seven years ago.
According to former WWE writer Kevin Eck, Bieber wanted to get in the WWE ring and wrestle at WWE SummerSlam 2014. One of the pitched ideas was for him to team up with John Cena and The Big Show to take on Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, the stable that was then known as The Wyatt Family.
WWE scrapped the idea for the match. Paul Wight, a.k.a The Big Show, revealed the reason for that decision during his appearance on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast:
"Years ago I had worked out for one of the SummerSlams in L.A... I had worked out with a very good friend who was working with Scooter Braun and Justin Bieber. It was gonna be John Cena, The Big Show, and Justin Bieber versus The Wyatts at SummerSlam. This deal was really… Bieber was on board, he was excited, he wanted to work out with John and I. This was a really, really big deal. This is when that app first came out, all that other cr*p, you know, and then one of the people that is making decisions said, ‘I just don’t see how Justin Bieber is going to relate to our audience.’ It’s like… does anyone not see the amount of eyes that Justin Bieber would bring to that match?"
WWE offered to help Bieber promote his album but had no interest in fulfilling his wish to wrestle in the ring.
Do you think Bieber has what it takes to compete in the WWE ring?
#3. Matthew McConaughey is a lifetime WWE fan
Matthew McConaughey is another Oscar winner on our list. He has been a lifetime WWE fan but has no problem becoming a competitor.
McConaughey virtually attended Monday Night RAW last October. He cheered on then-WWE Champion Drew McIntyre through his screen when the Scottish Warrior defeated The Miz on the October 27 episode.
In July 2019, the 51-year-old actor was in attendance for an episode of Raw. He went backstage after the show and took a few pictures with the Superstars.
Although he behaved well in these two WWE appearances, it was not the case when he attended a wrestling event in his younger days. He told an interesting story about that day on The Graham Norton Show:
"I got kicked out of Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport for pelting Skandor Akbar with a bag of tomatoes."
Matthew McConaughey's love for pro wrestling and WWE makes him open to trying his luck in the ring. Speaking to Maria Menounos on her "Better Together" podcast, he revealed his interest in fighting in the squared circle:
"You can't say too much about these things, but it is something that interests me."
Who could be McConaughey's first opponent in WWE?
#2. Farah Abraham wants to face Ronda Rousey in WWE
Farah Abraham is a reality television personality, actress, singer, and writer. She also wants to add WWE Superstar to her resume.
Abraham is best known for the 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom and Couples Therapy reality television shows. She has also released an album called My Teenage Dream Ended in 2012. She starred in a horror movie called Adam K in 2017 and played a supporting role in Axeman.
Asked on TMZ Sports if she is going to be a wrestler, she answered:
"I don't know! People want to wrestle me I guess."
She agreed with the reporter, who stated that she would be good at wrestling since she is athletic. She then named her dream opponents.
"I will probably choose Alexa Bliss or maybe the Bella Twins. So, I think those ladies are great, and I would love to wrestle, I mean I would love to wrestle like my all-time favorites, like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, like that's what I grew up watching. I love wrestling. I'm a fan."
Abraham also said she would like to face Ronda Rousey in WWE.
"Ronda is amazing, I always will love her. I always will root for her. I'd love to, you know, go against her. I'm sure she'll kick my a** but yeah it would be fun."

#1. Nita Strauss is interested in wrestling for WWE
American rock musician Nita Strauss performed the national anthem to kick off WWE NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. Now, she wants more in WWE.
Following her NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver appearance, Nita Strauss spoke to Michael Morales Torres of Lucha Libre Online. Torres asked her if she is willing to fight in the WWE ring. Strauss did not hesitate to confirm that it is something she would love to do:
"WWE, absolutely. Pro Wrestling, definitely. MMA, not so much. Definitely I would have fun doing the hurricanrana from the top rope for sure."
Strauss also spoke about her performance at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver and Triple H's advice before she went out:
"You talk about mind blowing. It’s an exciting time to have WrestleMania because the world has been shutdown for the last year. We all watched WrestleMania last year at the performance center. It’s different. It was great, but it was different. They’re going to have fans there this weekend. They’re going to have the stadium feeling for the wrestlers and to be the one to sort of start it off right, I’m just very honored and very happy. We are going to make it nice and loud. Triple H’s instructions were to get it nice and loud; and we are going to get loud."
