Richard Jefferson is interested in furthering his journey as a referee.
The former NBA champion has played many roles since retiring from the league in 2018. During the NBA's Summer League in 2022, Jefferson served a guest referee for a whole quarter of a game between the New York Knicks and the Portland Trail Blazers.
While appearing on the latest episode of The Broadcast Boys, Jefferson manifested a future opportunity with WWE, noting that the next time he puts on any type of referee jersey, it will be for the sports entertainment giant.
“I’m gonna put this out here live on The Broadcast Boys. I want to referee at like, Raw or WrestleMania. That’s what I want, I wanna do it. The next time I do any sort of referee jersey, it’s gonna be at WrestleMania or Raw.”
Jefferson then put out a Tweet, seemingly calling his shot for a spot at WrestleMania 40.
