Author’s take
Lil Yachty seems to be a genuine fan of professional wrestling. It’s always good to see mainstream artists showcase their love for wrestling so openly, and I’m glad that Yachty is doing it too.
WWE’s door for special appearances from celebrities has always been open. It has been a part of Vince McMahon’s vision for the company to ensure that the WWE has as much relevance as possible in the mainstream. Therefore if Yachty is really interested, it wouldn’t be long before we might end up seeing him in the company!
