Yeah the WWE are heavy when it comes to recruiting athletes from other sports nowadays. They have there own performance center to train these guys and pay them a good contract just to turn up and train until there ready to go on TV.

I don't think he would go anywhere in boxing & if you look at Joe Joyce, it can be a chastening experience. If he can make $ in WWE then do that. He won't get hurt & if it doesn't work out he can come back & get a steady job without having been damaged.

You would think he'd want to build up some legitimacy as some sort of regional boxing champion first. Simply participating in the Olympics doesn't seem like enough, beyond having a cool name. Seems like the WWE could allow him to do both? Like 3 fights in 6 months, then 6 months in WWE? Or if he had a twin brother and one could box and one could WWE? That makes sense.

Like, he could box as 'delicious Orie' & wrestle in WWE as 'delightful Orie'? That could work.
