The WWE and Trump have a long and storied history together, but he would be the first US President to appear on a wrestling show

When WWE SmackDown comes to FOX in October, AEW will be launching their weekly show around the same time.

However, the trick FOX seemingly want up their sleeve is the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

The network have asked the WWE to have Trump appear on the first episode for the Blue Brand and Sportskeeda have sourced a quote from a member of the WWE creative team that makes it seem like it is happening.

“FOX have asked for Trump so I’m trying to write something short and easy for him that makes him look good. Vince doesn’t like us to say anything bad about Trump so I’m just doing the best I can.”

Of course, Trump and WWE have a long history together and the former business tycoon is even in the company’s Hall of Fame.

He sponsored WrestleMania IV and V in 1988-1989 – at a time where WWE needed financial support – he appeared in an interview segment at WrestleMania 20, and, most notably, participated in a feud with Vince McMahon in the mid-2000s that included a hair vs. hair match fought by Umaga and Bobby Lashley on the billionaires’ behalves at WrestleMania 23.

Following that match, he was even the on-screen owner of WWE for a very brief period.

Outside of wrestling, Vince McMahon’s wife, Linda, served as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration on the president’s staff.

It’s perfectly plausible that Trump could make the appearance given his close ties to the McMahon family.

Is that what’s really best for WWE? It may get some temporary eyeballs on the product for sure, but maybe not the right ones.
