10 WWE Stars Who Could Do A CM Punk And Try MMA

By Kieran Shiach /

9. Titus O'Neil

They say everyone€™s journey to WWE is a unique one, and that€™s true of Titus O€™Neil, who had his arm twisted by a very famous friend to give it a try. Before joining up with WWE, Titus was friends with Batista who pushed O€™Neil to try out at the pre-NXT developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling. Since joining the main roster, Titus hasn€™t exactly set the world on fire and it€™s been four years. The Prime Time Players were incredibly entertaining, and he€™s come a long way in the ring since debuting, but at thirty-seven years old he€™s hardly someone to build the company around. Regardless of his age, he€™s still in incredible physical shape and a history of peak athleticism. Titus was an All-American in high school football, before attending University of Florida on a football scholarship and going onto play in the Arena Football League for four years. Once again, Titus may look to following in Batista€™s footsteps as The Animal tried his hand at mixed martial arts only two years ago. Some may see Titus O€™Neil as being too old at thirty-seven, but Batista was forty-three when he made his MMA debut so Titus still has plenty of time to consider a change.
