Jake Paul challenged to WWE match by former champion Drew McIntyre Jake Paul\/Flickr: Mike KalasnikSocial media star Jake Paul has been invited to have a match in the WWE by former champion Drew McIntyre, with the Scotsman comparing the YouTuber\u2019s pre-fight antics to Muhammad Ali. Over the last few years, Jake Paul has transitioned from having a full-time focus on YouTube to being more involved in the fight game. The 24-year-old, who holds an undefeated 4-0-0 boxing record, has fought a few different opponents recently \u2013 starting with basketball player Nate Robinson before taking on Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley from the MMA world. His upcoming fight with Tommy Fury represents his first \u2018real\u2019 challenge against a boxer and there is plenty of excitement around the two finally squaring off. Though, once he\u2019s done with that, he\u2019s got an invite to swap boxing for the wrestling world. The invite comes from former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, who complimented Jake\u2019s \u2018heel\u2019 \u2013 bad guy \u2013 persona, and ability to make people want to see his fights. \u201cWhenever I see him show up at these events and the whole crowd starts booing him, I\u2019m like \u2018wow, that\u2019s pretty cool,\u201d he told TalkSport\u2019s Alex McCarthy. The Scotsman compared the social media star to Muhammad Ali, noting that the boxing legend took inspiration from professional wrestling in his heyday, just like Jake seemingly has. He even challenged him to get inside the wrestling ring at some point. \u201cHe (Jake) is basically the number one heel in the world, so if he wants to swing by WWE and get Claymore\u2019d in the face, that\u2019s just fine with me!\u201d he added, referring to his signature Claymore Kick finishing move. Now, it\u2019s not like Jake Paul is unfamiliar with the world of WWE. Ahead of his brother Logan appearing at Wrestlemania last April, Jake was a part of some pre-match build up for that, making a cameo in a pre-match promo. There\u2019s no telling if he\u2019d hang up his boxing gloves and strap on a pair of wrestling tights anytime soon, but it looks as if he\u2019s got an open invite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
