Playing her first year with the Indiana Fever, Cunningham has quickly made a name for herself with her tough, fearless style on the court.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"374\" data-end=\"665\">That grit especially stood out during a series of games where she stood up for rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, responding physically to rough play from opponents. Her boldness earned her a new nickname: \u201cThe Enforcer,\u201d\u00a0and yes, it sounds like something straight out of a wrestling ring.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"716\">Fittingly enough, pro wrestling has come calling.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"904\">Jeanie Buss, the owner of the NBA\u2019s Los Angeles Lakers and co-owner of Women of Wrestling (WOW), an all-female wrestling league, has publicly invited Cunningham to join the roster.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"1050\">\u201cWe would love to have (Cunningham) join us at WOW,\u201d Buss wrote on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cShe is talented, dedicated, and a fierce competitor!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1248\">At 28, it\u2019s unlikely Cunningham will walk away from basketball, the sport she\u2019s played her entire life. But the offer has caught fans\u2019 attention and sparked some fun speculation online.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1543\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">With her bold, outspoken personality and strong social media presence, fans wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Cunningham addresses the offer soon, maybe even with a TikTok reveal. Whether she accepts the wrestling gig or not, one thing\u2019s for sure: Sophie Cunningham knows how to stay in the spotlight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sophie Cunningham has become one of the most talked-about players in the WNBA this season, and not just for her\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":82395,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[30960,30959],"class_list":["post-82389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-enforcer","tag-sophie-cunningham"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82389\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
