WWE might have signed their next Next Big Thing in Parker Boudreaux.
According to a new report from Fightful, former University Of Central Florida offensive lineman Parker Boudreaux has agreed to a deal with WWE and will be coming to work for the company.
It was also noted in the report that Boudreaux was recently at the WWE Performance Center on January 20, and was also backstage at NXT last week. It goes without saying, but yes, he does very closely resemble a young Brock Lesnar, who has apparently been an influence on the former football star. Boudreaux refers to himself as the ‘Next Big Thing’, which is Lesnar’s old nickname.
As it turns out, Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman is also paying attention, as he Tweeted out the following praise for Boudreaux:
His tweet is not a prediction. It’s a spoiler.
Save this #HustleTweet for future historical reference.
