Former Kentucky DT Abule Abadi-Fitzgerald among latest WWE recruits

From the gridiron to the ring, Abule Abadi-Fitzgerald continues to make a career out of his 6-foot-6 frame.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Abadi-Fitzgerald, who was a defensive tackle at Kentucky from 2017-21, has joined the WWE as one of the organization’s newest incoming recruits. The Nigerian native first began his journey as a professional wrestler earlier this year and will now have a chance to perform in a WWE ring down the road.

Coming out of high school as a consensus three-star recruit from Victory Christian Academy’s (FL) class of 2017, Abadi-Fitzgerald redshirted his freshman season at Kentucky before being elevated to a practice player in 2018.
