The 15 NFL Stars We'd Like to See Battle in the WWE

WWE and the NFL are two of the greatest forms of entertainment in America.  Combining the two would be can’t miss TV.

No, I’m not talking about bringing the XFL back.  That wouldn’t be good for anyone, except maybe Tommy Maddox and Rod Smart.

I want to see some of the best players in the NFL get in the ring with professional wrestlers.

Here are 15 NFL stars who we’d like to see in the WWE.

Cam Newton

Cam Newton is a self proclaimed icon and entertainer.  Well, what better forum to entertain than the WWE.

Also, there’s always the chance of Newton taking a pounding.

Ndamukong Suh hunts quarterbacks with the best of them, emerging as one of the top defensive tackles in the game his rookie season.

Let’s see how Suh does hunting someone like John Cena.

Peyton Hillis ran through the NFL last season, rushing for 1,177 yards.

I’d like to see Hillis take his bowling ball style of running to WWE.

All I have to say is I CAN’T WAIT for New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott to wrestle.

Marshawn Lynch

Did you see what Marshawn Lynch did to the Saints?

Let’s see if he can repeat that in the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow is a large, intense man. 

He would be great in WWE, but only with the Friar Tuck haircut.

Tom Zbikowski

Ravens' safety Tom Zbikowski is also a professional boxer, sporting a 4-0 record with three knockouts.

WWE is a bit different, but Zbikowski is a crazy man and could win a couple matches.

Albert Haynesworth

GLENDALE, AZ - SEPTEMBER 02: Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth #92 of the Washington Redskins stands on the sidelines during preseason NFL game against the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Phoenix Stadium on September 2, 2010 in Glendale, Arizona

We already know Albert Haynesworth has some WWE ready moves.

With stomps like that, he’d be great in WWE if he could only improve his cardiovascular fitness.

Ray Lewis

Not only can Ray Lewis hit hard, but he can dance with the best of them.

Lewis could do his jig then walk into the ring and Waterboy someone.

Chad Ochocinco

Chad Ochocinco plays football.  Chad Ochocinco plays soccer.  Chad Ochocinco rides bulls.

It makes sense that Chad Ochocinco should wrestle.  Child please…

Ben Roethlisberger

ARLINGTON, TX - FEBRUARY 06: Ben Roethlisberger #7 of the Pittsburgh Steelers celebrates after Rashard Mendenhall #34 ran for an eight yard touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in the third quarter of Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium on February 6, 2

Ben Roethlisberger would be a star in WWE.

He could ride his motorcycle up to the ring and then be escorted up by two ring girls.

Plus, we already know he can take a hit.

Cortland Finnegan

Cortland Finnegan is a pesky cornerback who is scrappy and gets on everyone’s nerves.  He’s like your annoying little brother.

It would be great to see his world get rocked in the ring, but even greater if we were to fight…

Andre Johnson

HOUSTON, TX - DECEMBER 13: Wide receiver Andre Johnson #80 of the Houston Texans comes scores as he get's his foot down in the endzone in the fourth quarter against the Baltimore Ravens at Reliant Stadium on December 13, 2010 in Houston, Texas. Baltimore

WWE would give Andre Johnson a more appropriate arena to beat up Cortland Finnegan.

We only got to see a taste of Johnson’s fists of fury.  I want to see what he can do in the ring.

James Harrison

James Harrison is one of the most ferocious players in the NFL.

As long as he pretends every opponent is Mohamed Massaquoi, he’ll be just fine in the WWE.

Jared Allen

Jared Allen is the player I most want to see in the WWE.

Not only could he hold his own physically, as is evident by his 83 career sacks, but the dude is hilarious.

His MTV Cribs segment is one of the best the show has ever had.

Vince McMahon needs to sign Allen immediately.
