Earlier this week, Haley and Hanna Cavinder announced they would be forgoing their fifth year of NCAA eligibility and walking away from college basketball.
One of those opportunities may be in WWE, as the Cavinders were part of WWE’s inaugural NIL class in 2021 while playing for Fresno State. While the potential for Haley and Hanna to make the jump into professional wrestling was always a quiet murmur, rumors began to pick up after the 22-year-olds’ appearance on Thursday.
Since December 2021, WWE has partnered with 45 college athletes, and just one, former Northwestern football player Joe Spivak, has turned the NIL dream into a professional wrestling reality. In fact, Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson —on an NIL deal back in September 2021 — has only made several promotional appearances with the company and is reportedly returning to amateur wrestling later this month.
The Cavinders — or almost any Division I college athlete — check the majority of these boxes and of course there is the added advantage of coming with a built-in social media following. Arguably WWE’s top tag team over the past decade, Jimmy and Jey Uso , are biological twins, and the recently retired Bella Twins remain among the most popular and decorated female superstars in WWE history.
