The WWE is more than willing to capitalize on what’s hot in pop culture, so they obviously weren’t going to ignore the Tim Tebow story.
The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced their signing of the quarterback Monday afternoon, and hours later, the WWE was ready to work the polarizing signal-caller into its “Monday Night Raw” script with a subtle yet clear jab.
Roman Reigns, one of the WWE’s emerging stars, was called out by bottom-feeder Bo Dallas on Monday night in Albany, N.Y. The segment just offered Reigns a chance to beat up Dallas, but before he did, Dallas — whose character essentially is the most backhanded motivational speaker ever — cut a promo on Reigns, saying he has failed to live up to the hype.
Kind of like, you know, Tebow.
Here’s hoping Tebow’s Eagles stint ends a little better than this did for Bo Dallas.
