Author’s Take
Not that the WWE is lacking any star-power, but I’d be lying if I said that it isn’t nice to have the occasional celebrity appear at WWE events.
As far as free publicity and brand promotion goes, both parties – the WWE and John Terry – benefit from his on-screen appearance at SmackDown Live nonetheless. The amount of press that this rumoured appearance will garner for WWE, particularly in the UK, would be What’s Best For Business!
