Kyle Busch is now a WWE champion. Seriously.
About two weeks after Busch won his second NASCAR Cup Series championship, he and former driver Michael Waltrip attended WWE’s Monday Night Raw show in Nashville, and Busch ended up with his own title belt for a brief moment.
After reigning 24/7 champion R-Truth brought Busch and Waltrip out onto the floor, Waltrip slowly unzipped his jacket and was wearing a referee shirt on underneath. Within seconds of Waltrip revealing his outfit to R-Truth, Busch grabbed the professional wrestler, threw him to the ground and pinned him.
WWE’s 24/7 title can be defended at any time, and anyone can be crowned the champion. So at one point Monday, Busch was WWE’s reigning 24/7 champ.
NASCAR and WWE seems like a perfectly natural crossover, and Busch even has a “battle scar” to go with his title.
Busch obviously enjoyed his moment and celebrated with his championship belt and the NASCAR trophy.
But his reign didn’t last long because, with an assist from Waltrip still posing as a referee, R-Truth ambushed Busch and reclaimed his title
Busch and the rest of the NASCAR community is in Nashville for Champion’s Week with the NASCAR Awards on Thursday.
Here’s Busch’s takedown in GIF form, just because it’s something special.
