Flintoff Rejected Three-Year WWE Contract After Training

News summary

Retired England cricket star Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff revealed he was offered an 'obscene' three-year WWE contract, with plans for fast-tracking him into major events like the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, potentially facing The Undertaker. After moving to Dubai post-retirement, Flintoff trained for two weeks at the WWE Performance Centre in Tampa but struggled with the physical demands and sustained visible injuries. Despite the lucrative offer and excitement, he declined the deal, choosing not to relocate to the US and instead pursued a career in television and cricket coaching. WWE's interest in Flintoff reflected its ongoing strategy of recruiting celebrities, similar to moves with Logan Paul and Bad Bunny. Flintoff's experience highlights the difficulties athletes face when transitioning careers. He later returned to cricket in coaching roles and remains active in British media.
