      Brentford go ‘full WWE mode’ and introduce Ivan Toney ‘like The Undertaker’ as light show marks striker’s return

      by

      FOOTBALL fans hilariously reacted to Brentford going “full WWE mode” with the return of Ivan Toney.The Bees striker, 27, was back in Thomas Frank’s side against Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening after eight months out due to a betting ban.
      The lights went down as Brentford fans awaited the return of Ivan Toney
      The Undertaker’s WWE ringwalk music began playing before the players came out

      And he made up for lost time by firing a free-kick into the bottom corner to give Brentford the lead in the 19th minute.
      Although it landed him in a cheat storm after fans spotted he moved the mall AND the referee’s foam spray to create a better shooting angle.
      They went on to clinch a 3-2 win – their first victory in eight games in all competitions.
      But it was Brentford’s pre-match build-up that left many social media users in hysterics.

      As the players prepared to make their way out of the tunnel, WWE icon The Undertaker’s ringwalk music began playing as the lights went down inside the Gtech Community Stadium.
      A video of Toney then began playing as another song kicked in to get the fans in the mood for his re-introduction to the team.
      And the clip went viral online as the football world reacted.

      One said: “Brentford going full WWE mode and introducing Ivan Toney like The Undertaker is absolutely hilarious 😭😭😭.”

      A third replied: “What an entry!!”
      While a fourth responded: “Haha, that sounds like a fun way to introduce a player!”
      Brentford will be hoping Toney can inspire Frank’s men to Premier League safety, with the West London side now six points clear of the bottom three.
      But there remain fears he could still leave before the end of the month as Chelsea and Arsenal are linked with moves for him.
      Toney scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season as only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane managed more. More

      And only a month later, he defeated WWE icon Rey Mysterio to win the United States Championship.
      The winning streak has left Paul with a decision on how he will commit his future.
      And he told Fox Business: “I think I’m retired from boxing.
      “I’ve done enough going fully undefeated at 25-0. I’m going to be a wrestler now.

      “No more money in boxing, every company is going broke. Full-time wrestler. Beat Rey Mysterio. Fair and square for the US Championship.
      “It feels great. It was a dominant performance. Some frog splashes, some punches, it feels good.”
      Paul, 28, first stepped into boxing in 2018 and drew against KSI, 30, only to lose the rematch a year later when they turned professional.
      The pair are now friends and business partners following the launch of their Prime hydration drink.

      Chelsea star wants WWE legend John Cena to play him in a movie – but can you guess the unlikely player?

      by

      AN unlikely Chelsea star has suggested that WWE legend John Cena should portray him in a movie.Cena, 46, has made his comeback to the WWE in 2023 after being a 16-time world champion for the wrestling company.
      A Chelsea star has chosen John Cena to play him in a movie
      The shout came during a recent interview with the Premier League
      And now the American’s name has popped up again after being named as the ideal candidate to portray a Blues defender.
      The player in question joined Chelsea from Brighton for a £62m fee in 2022.
      It is of course left-back Marc Cucurella.
      In a hilarious video posted by the Premier League’s social team, numerous players were asked a series of questions.

      After being asked, “which actor would you like to portray you in a movie?”, Cucurella claimed it would be John Cena. 
      Explaining why, the Spanish international said: “I’ve always liked his combats and his career in WWE.”
      Given the obvious lack of resemblance, it’s certainly a rogue shout from the former Brighton and Barcelona player. 
      However, it appears Manchester City star Rodri was even more confused.

      When asked the same question the City midfielder said: “I would choose Denzel Washington.”
      While, Luton Town’s Tom Lockyer reckons Bradley Cooper is the perfect actor to play him.
