Justin Bieber nearly wrestled in a headlining match at SummerSlam last year, it has been revealed.
The singer has been frequently spotted with boxer Floyd Mayweather over the past few weeks leading up to one of the world's most anticipated boxing matches - Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao.
Now, former WWE writer and wrestling blogger Kevin Eck has revealed that Bieber was nearly involved in his own organised fight - a wrestling match at Los Angeles' SummerSlam - the WWE's second biggest pay-per-view event after Wrestlemania.
Bieber was in talks to team up with John Cena and Big Show (us neither) to face the Wyatt Family in a six-man tag match, but, he writes, "My concern at the time was that Cena teaming up with Bieber -- who was making headlines for all the wrong reasons and most definitely would have been booed unmercifully by the WWE audience -- would not have done Cena, the face of the company, any favors."
He continues, "To address that concern, the creative suggestion was that Cena would become increasingly annoyed by Bieber in the weeks leading up to the match, but Big Show, who would be portrayed as Bieber's friend, would repeatedly play peacemaker. After the babyfaces went over in the match, Bieber would be so obnoxious in trying to take credit for the win that Cena would hit the Attitude Adjustment on him for a big pop."
Sadly/thankfully, Bieber didn't end up participating in the wrestling match, but Eck insists Bieber is likely to at some point in the future.
