Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our ?Head of the Table? Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

Taylor Swift [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/taylor-swift/] has been one of the biggest newsmakers in 2023. The 12-time Grammy winner has been consistently hitting the headlines not just with her musical tours, but also with her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/travis-kelce/#:~:text=Travis%20ranked%2018th%20and%205th,Kelce%20also%20entered%20the%20NFL%3F]. Therefore, Swift is no stranger to the sporting world. Among her legion of fans are also pro wrestlers. Recently, a prominent AEW talent spoke about the 33-year-old and professed his love for the artist. Claudio Castagnoli spoke about the possibility of making an entrance to Swift’s popular song ‘Shake It Off’. CASTAGNOLI CHOOSES THE RIGHT MOMENT TO DANCE TO TAYLOR SWIFT The 42-year-old, known to WWE fans as Cesaro, recently appeared as a guest on The Sun Sport, where he spoke about a bunch of topics, including the ‘Love Story’ singer. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/claudio-castagnoli.png] Castagnoli also presented the perfect scenario to come out to Swift’s Shake It Off. According to the Swiss wrestler, the iconic Wembley Stadium in the UK can be the perfect venue for the occasion. The Blackpool Combat Club member wants the upcoming edition of AEW All In to be the stage for the event. The PPV is scheduled for August 25. “I mean, you know, I feel like the Blackpool Combat Club coming out to Shake It Off would be great, you know? That would be quite something, right? I’m sure she could sing Wild Thing as well, that would be pretty sweet,” he said. His excitement hints that the day Swift’s music echoes in the ring may be near. Meanwhile, Castagnoli isn’t the only pro wrestler who has been open about their love for Swift. JAPANESE WWE SUPERSTAR GOES GAGA ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT Swift’s charm isn’t limited to the AEW. The singer has had a healthy following in the WWE as well. In fact, one superstar also called her out for a match.

She stated: “If she wants, I’m ready for Taylor Swift.” The Japanese superstar said that she wanted to face Swift at WrestleMania. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-fastlane-2023-news-wwe-womens-champion-has-a-hilarious-reaction-to-seeing-taylor-swift-at-wrestlemania-40/] [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2023-11-13-at-12.58.06-PM-1.jpeg] The marquee event isn’t devoid of star power. The last edition saw prominent rapper and WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg make an appearance. Other celebs have also graced the wrestling ring previously. Will Swift trade her mic for wrestling gear and respond to the challenge, or will she appear at All In 2024?

A top AEW star hinted at a possible collaboration with Taylor Swift, teasing the use of 'Shake It Off' in wrestling.

Oh, let me tell you about myself, I'm Sheron Singh, the WWE aficionado and
person behind many of trending WWE stories at EssentiallySports. My journey into
the world of suplexes and powerbombs began at the age of 6, thanks to my father
and I've been hooked ever since. With a postgraduate degree in clinical
psychology, I have the superpower to dissect the emotions both in and outside
that squared circle at ES. Believe me, I can psychoanalyze a heel turn like it's
nobody's business. I saw Jimmy Uso turning on his brother way before you did!!
I'm not shy about my undying affection for all WWE Superstars, but The
Undertaker holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, I was terrified of his
gimmick but went on to love it later Reading stacks of books, grooving to my
favorite tunes, and getting lost in the never-ending maze of YouTube/Netflix
videos are some of my hobbies. So, there you have it ? Sheron Singh, you can say
hello to me at my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheron-singh-103a76153
