UPDATE 2:
Lavar will be on RAW, and will appear with his son Lonzo on a special installment of Miz TV.
UPDATE 1:
Well, look who's backstage at Raw already, hanging with The Titus Brand and plastering that fact all over social media...
It looks like WWE's plans of getting Lavar Ball and the Big Baller Brand on TV just got a little closer to becoming a reality.
ORIGINAL:
Perhaps WWE's timing is getting a little better.
On Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers took UCLA's Lonzo Ball second in the NBA draft. Often associated with his boisterous father, LaVar, Lonzo has met polarizing reception at no fault of his own.
Looking to capitalize on this, WWE has reached out to LaVar Ball, per Pro Wrestling Sheet.
The website says that both sides have been working to make the deal happen, and LaVar was actually overheard on a live stream talking about the possibility. This Monday's Raw takes place in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where LaVar's son Lonzo will be playing for the Los Angeles Lakers come next season.
Titus O'Neil also performs on Raw, and his character of late has seen a shift to that of something resembling LaVar Ball's personality.
