According to a report from the Pro Wresting Sheet, LaVar Ball, enigmatic father to new Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, and the WWE are in talks to feature a LaVar appearance on WWE Raw this Monday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I wonder if we'll see some special edition Raw Ball sneakers made for the event

 

[CommanderBuck]

SMH..I hope Lonzo is the truth.

 

[BronsonLee]

Owens better powerbomb him off the stage

 

[The Faceless Master]

he's already a better heel than most of thew current roster

 

[Violence Jack]

Guest Raw GM?

He's going to have more heat on him than any of their heels.

 

[BassForever]

Lavar has put himself over as a heel better then 90% of the heels in the wwe over the past 5 years

 

[RBelong2Us]

I'm glad Lakers got that circus act and that the fans actually think they will be relevant anytime soon.

 

[Zertez]

As obnoxious as LaVar can be, he is a great marketer and Raw is more exposure. His brand brings into question the amateur status of Lamelo and Liangelo, but that is for the NCAA to whine about. His family has been everywhere this year and he has mostly shielded his wife in the process.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Wasn't Michael Sam supposed to show up on Raw?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Wasn't Michael Sam supposed to show up on Raw?

They gave him an "open invitation" to appear. It was a publicity stunt.

 

[Slayven]

Is his finisher called "The Stay in your Lane"?

 

[Brian_FETO]

When you think WWE you think cultural relevance

Brands

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Will he be allowed to go off the script?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Is his finisher called "The Stay in your Lane"?

The Ball Buster, come on.

 

[HStallion]

He can only hit by Lavar Ball brand folding chairs.

 

[Silkworm]

One step closer to making this a reality... excellent!

 

[Bronx-Man]

This also makes it 90% more likely that they're gonna do some dumb thing this year to piggyback off of GLOW's success.

 

[cordy]

Fuck.
Yes.

I approve HEAVILY of this.

 

[t26]

Is his finisher called "The Stay in your Lane"?

Ball Control.

 

[bigkrev]

They FINALLY found a way to get me to skip a week of Raw. Impressive!

 

[Puck Beaverton]

They FINALLY found a way to get me to skip a week of Raw. Impressive!

says a lot about you tbh

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

"You are a ha-ter" and "Stay in your lane" would be such awesome catch phrases.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

They FINALLY found a way to get me to watch a week of Raw. Impressive!

Fixed for me.

 

[Kieli]

They FINALLY found a way to get me to skip a week of Raw. Impressive!

Your loss, tbh. Lavar is entertaining as hell.

 

[FeenixRising]

They FINALLY found a way to get me to skip a week of Raw. Impressive!

Umm. You watch every week?

 

[cordy]

They FINALLY found a way to get me to skip a week of Raw. Impressive!

Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh bruh bruh, you got some explaining to do. If LaVar makes you wanna skip Raw and you haven't skipped it yet, you gotta rethink your life.

 

[RiderKairuu]

The Ball Buster, come on.

This is so good.

 

[RBH]

They FINALLY found a way to get me to skip a week of Raw. Impressive!

This is the thing that's making you skip Raw? Not any of the uninspiring TV that they've been producing for months and months now?

 

[B-Dubs]

SMH..I hope Lonzo is the truth.

I feel bad for the dude. He works how hard to get here and then his dad goes, "Fuck you, I'm gonna use your fame to become more famous than you and make you look bad as a result."

 

[pretty done]

I hope he shows Bayley how to cut a promo and she heel turns

 

[FZZ]

at 23 I bought it all just to make sure

Lavar fathered the 🐐 Lonzo

this will only ascend the Big Baller Brand

greatest marketer of our era

BIG BALLERS ONLY

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This is perfect because Angle can tell Daniel Bryan: "You know what's wrong with Smackdown? You don't have the Balls."

 

[Lebron]

They FINALLY found a way to get me to skip a week of Raw. Impressive!

It's more impressive they kept you locked in until now

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Still salty after all these years.

❤️❤️❤️

Some of y'all really don't know the family's situation

Lavar is a fantastic father and is the reason Lonzo has gotten to the point he has, all of his sons have full scholarships to UCLA. The kids are in on the entire brand as well, it belongs to their family.

Lonzo just about to start his professional career and Lavar won't do shit about it, he never intruded when Zo was at UCLA either. The dude knows and has the faith to let his sons ball out, that's all they need to do. In the mean time he is going to try every opportunity to promote his family's brand and ensure they have a financial security net in the future, all he has to do is be himself too and everyone clicks on his statements. Must be the best job in the world.

 

[Mase Gumble]

I might record Raw if this is confirmed 🤔

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

WWE's self awareness is in how desperate they come off for any sort of mainstream attention is pretty much nonexistent it seems.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Am I doing this right?

- WWE sucks.
- He can do better.
- They'll book him poorly.
- Raw ratings so low
- Go back to two hours.
- Vince is out of touch.

You left off "they'll just bury him to Make Roman Look Strong"

 

[DeathyBoy]

Crap.

I also forgot...

- Roman is worse than Cena.

 

[CountAntonius]

No Pressure there son.

Have you been watching all this three hour drek?

I can barely stand the youtube highlights

 

[polyh3dron]

SMH..I hope Lonzo is the truth.

Ball don't lie.

You sat through Bayley, This Is Your Life but this is the breaking point for you?

oh god, I could only imagine what that was like. I only watch the PPVs that I get for free whenever WWE decides to give me 3months of the network on the house, and knowing what I know about that character, gah
