Dwight Howard Cuts Promo At WWE Tryout, Says He’s The Shogun Shadow King

Dwight Howard is the Shogun King of the Shadows, and he'll send his potential opponents in a WWE ring straight to hell.

On July 28, Howard, an eight-time NBA All-Star and former NBA Champion, attended the WWE tryout in Nashville, and he was also in attendance the next day. On Friday, Howard cut a promo and targeted some of the people around him.

“You know who I am. Shogun, Sho'nuff, the Sho'nuff king of the shadows. I’m gonna start with with you, Ms. Thumbellina. Imma flick you all the way across the ring like a booger. And then step on you, and then you, you fake Prince-looking boy with that ugly shirt. I’m gonna let Sabretooth from X-Men and the shadows put his claws on you. You, Brianne of Tof, Imma take your by thee Game of Thrones, and I’m gonna slice and dice your head off with my shogun. Sisters over here, come forward, ladies. You, you low-budget pastor, you preaching the word of god, in my ring, Imma crucify your ass and send you to hell with the rest of the demons because we come from the shadows and I’m the shogun shadow king," he said.

After the promo, Howard told Jon Alba that he'd love to be in WWE one day. He also shared his belief that LeBron James and DeMarcus Cousins would thrive in wrestling.
