Last week, Haley and Hanna Cavinder announced they would forgo their fifth and final season of college basketball eligibility at the University of Miami, choosing to start the next phase of their lives instead. Instead, the social media stars will begin training with the WWE in hopes of becoming a part of the wrestling industry.
“We love the WWE,” Haley said last week. “Their fanbase, their sport, the fitness side of it. That fits to Hanna and I’s brain and aligns great with us. So yeah, we’re very excited about the future with them.”
On Monday, agent Jeff Hoffman, who represents the Cavinder twins, told Colin Salao of The Street that the Cavinders will begin training with the WWE in Orlando this spring. Hoffman also explained why he believes the WWE is an appealing fit.
“The potential—what could be—I think they’d be excited if that type of opportunity presented itself for them to be main features in the WWE,” Hoffman said. “WWE fans provide such positive comments, feedback, and energy to the twins.”
While neither of the Cavinder twins has wrestled in the past, Hoffman believes their experience as college athletes could make a transition much easier. However, both twins understand that the WWE is not a typical sports organization.
“The WWE, they have a very specific training process They don’t just fit people into storylines and say, ‘Here you go,’” Hoffman said. “The twins are D-I athletes, they’re extremely fit, healthy, exercise constantly, but there’s also a process through the training to make sure you understand not only movements but safety.”
