Dwight Howard has decided to abandon his aspirations of joining WWE after receiving advice from Ric Flair regarding the physical demands of professional wrestling. Despite previously participating in WWE tryouts during SummerSlam 2022 and showing enthusiasm for a wrestling career, Howard acknowledged that the toll on his knees and body from an 18-year NBA career would make it challenging to pursue wrestling full-time. Howard expressed a desire to spend more time with his children and focus on his basketball career overseas, where he currently plays for the Taiwan Mustangs. Although his wrestling dreams are over, he is set to appear on the upcoming season of 'Dancing With The Stars'. Despite the disappointment for fans hoping to see him in the ring, Howard's decision reflects a preference for personal well-being over potential fame in wrestling.
