Since becoming the leader of the free world just last month, US President-elect Donald Trump has been spending his time filling out his administration.

You know, when he's not been moaning about the Broadway musical Hamilton or having a go at Saturday Night Live, that is.

Many of Trump's picks for big, important jobs within his government so far have caused all sorts of controversy… but his latest choice is just weird.

Linda McMahon - the ex-CEO of the WWE and husband to wrestling legend Vince - has been nominated by Trump to head the Small Business Administration.

Ok, so Linda is also a twice-former candidate for the US Senate, but this kind of appointment could really only happen in 2016, right?

Trump, who has made appearances on the WWE countless times over the years, is seemingly a good friend of the McMahons and they also donated to his presidential campaign.

The US President-elect had this to say in a press release: "My America First agenda is going to bring back our jobs and roll back the burdensome regulations that are hurting our middle class workers and small businesses."

Linda, he said, is "recognised as one of the country's top female executives advising businesses around the globe" and "is going to be a phenomenal leader and champion for small businesses and unleash America's entrepreneurial spirit all across the country".

Linda and Vince founded the WWE in 1980. She stepped down from the franchise in 2009, but Vince is still CEO.

Trump, meanwhile, was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
