Tim Tebow WrestleMania match was floated in 'top secret' meeting after Patriots release, WWE president says

'Fox & Friends Weekend' co-host Will Cain speaks with actor and former WWE superstar Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson about joining the TKO Board of Directors, his effort to provide aid for Maui residents and the possibility of a political career.

A Tim Tebow WrestleMania match would have put butts in seats, and it almost happened.

WWE President Nick Khan revealed on Tuesday during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that Paul Levesque, the current chief content officer of WWE, known in the wrestling world as Triple H, introduced him to the company when he was an agent.

Khan revealed that Levesque called him about setting up a match for Tebow.

"Paul had called me, an unsolicited call – and this is when Tim Tebow had just gotten cut by the Patriots – Paul called me and said, ‘Hey, I just want to introduce myself, my name is Paul Levesque.’ I said, ‘Oh, yeah Triple H, I know who you are I remember you as Terra Ryzing – his former wrestling name from WCW," Khan explained. 

"He said, ‘You know WWE?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I know WWE. I grew up a fan. I was an usher at WrestleMania IX at Caesars Palace.’ I said, ‘What’s going on?’ He said, ‘What do you think of Tim Tebow against the Big Show,’ at whatever that WrestleMania was after the Patriots run."
