Rapper Lil Yachty says he joined WWE to be “the second-best manager ever”
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, rapper Lil Yachty commented on his match with Baron Corbin at WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event. Here is what Yachty had to say…
“This wasn’t expected. I didn’t expect to come to WWE and wrestle. I want to be the best manager ever. That was my thing. I mean, not ever. All respect to Paul Heyman. I want to be the second-best manager ever.
Wrestling was not in my cards. It’s not one match, not two matches. I was like, I’m gonna come manage and have fun. Maybe even try to be one of the brand managers, like be a SmackDown or Raw manager.
[So, if you didn’t want to ever have a match, how did this match come together?] I think Triple H just wanted to see it. I really do. I would love to know, actually. If I had to guess, I’m sure someone just threw it out there in the writers’ room, and I could just imagine Triple H just wanting to see me get my ass beat or something, because I don’t even know how we got here.”
