PITTSBURGH -- Najee Harris wasn’t planning on getting into the ring at the All Elite Wrestling event in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.
But when the Steelers running back met professional wrestler Britt Baker, a Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, native and Steelers fan, at the practice facility earlier in the week, he started devising a plan.
“I was upstairs talking to a couple coaches about some guys in the draft, and then I ran into her,” Harris told ESPN on Thursday. “We were talking, and I was like, ‘When do y’all have a match?’ She said 'tomorrow,' and I was like, shoot, let me pull up.
