Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned WWE wants Lavar Ball to appear on Monday Night Raw next week in Los Angeles … and it sounds like he was talking about it during a recent livestream.
Sources tell us the two sides have been in talks to make it happen and things are looking good — however, as is always the case with creative plans, they could change at the drop of a dime.
A keen Reddit user watching Lonzo Ball‘s livestream during the NBA draft overheard what sounds like Lavar discussing the possibility of appearing on Raw shortly before his son was drafted to the Lakers.
It’s hard to make out everything being said in the video below, but Lavar seems interested.
We’ll have to wait until Monday to find out if the appearance goes down, but the Titus Brand interacting with the Big Baller Brand would seem to make the most sense.

This could honestly be the biggest thing to happen in WWE this year (besides Undertaker's retirement). Huge mainstream attention for the WWE for the first time in ages.
Titus Brand vs BBB could be glorious too. Maybe they can arrange something at Great Balls of Fire

that gif above of both of them walking is funny because you can see Lonzo's face in the background, he doesn't seem amused by his dad in the slightest.

Wow, if LaVar Ball is scheduled to appear on Raw this week, it's a must-see. A Big Baller Brand/Titus Brand segment on Raw would be absolutely awesome.
LaVar is great at promoting, charismatic, and has a "walk" that is absolute money. It's a win-win situation for everybody. :grande
"WrestleMania 3? I would've slammed Andre The Giant AND Hulk Hogan, call that the Big Baller Slam. If I was in the 1992 Royal Rumble, best believe I would've won that WWF Championship. Nature Boy got nothin on the Big Baller Brand. Run and tell that!"

LaVar Ball vs. Hulk Hogan at WM34 in a Brag Off Match. I can already picture LaVar talking about how in his prime he could have picked up Andre AND Hogan at same time and bodyslam them both.
EDIT: Shit I should have read all the posts first. Damn you Red Hair lol
I never know who any of the sports guys are that WWE uses. Here in Australia, the American sports are kinda niche interests. Combat sports is big though, so the only times I've been aware of a sporting celeb is when they've used Tyson, Mayweather, Rousey.
On the flip side, I know most of the actors that appear because Hollywood impacts worldwide.
WWE, a worldwide organisation, guys. Although on that note, I could survey my local area and I'd bet my savings more would know John Cena than Lavar Ball.
Re: Lavar Ball possibly appearing on Raw this week
I know the WWE often have problems capitalizing on current trends but I can't believe this is the direction Vince decided to go when he heard about the 'floor is lava' meme.
Lavar Ball is the father of a highly rated basketball prospect (Lonzo Ball). He's gotten famous from saying outlandish things on sports talk shows like how he could beat Michael Jordan 1 on 1 in his prime and how his son is better than Steph Curry (a two time MVP).
Here's him destroying Stephen A Smith (a media personality) in a shouting match
Re: Lavar Ball possibly appearing on Raw this week
I am praying to god that WWE actually has fun and drops PG shit and just let LaVar be LaVar because it would be amazing to watch. Honestly I wish WWE signs him long term and just let him act like the crazy bastard he is.
Re: Lavar Ball possibly appearing on Raw this week
Im pleasently suprised by the lavar love. The sports forums get flooded with people hating on him and his son. I hate to use the term because its so overused, but lavar has the most haters of any sports figure right now.
Thing is though, most of what he says is coming true. L9nzo to the lakers for starters. Hes building his brand as well. This man is living his dreams in front of us and i hope he makes it all come true.
Howre you going to hate someone trying to become a billionaire, with a 'B'? If he does so, it will make a lot of people, not just his family rich. It would provide good jobs for thousands of people. Why hate that? Caus3 hes loud? Cause he talks shit? So what. He provides entertainment.
Wrestling needs guys like th8s, too bad it cant have him. A one night appearance could be GOAT material.
