Could the Big Baller Brand be expanding toward "Big Brawler" territory?

According to a report from the Pro Wresting Sheet, LaVar Ball, enigmatic father to new Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, and the WWE are in talks to feature a LaVar appearance on WWE Raw this Monday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The rumors first started swirling when what sounds like LaVar discussing a WWE cameo was in the background of a live stream showing the Ball brothers' reaction to Lonzo being drafted No. 2 overall by the Lakers on Thursday night.

LaVar Ball, 48, has exhibited a level of showmanship on par with that of the WWE in the last few months. He was even booed by fans while leaving the Barclays Center following his son being drafted.
