Hollywood star Charlize Theron is open to a shock move into WWE and would love a match with Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks.

The 44-year-old Academy Award winner is starring in Netflix movie The Old Guard and says her ballet background helped her get acquainted with the role.

But during an interview with WWE’s Kofi Kingston about the film, the New Day member opened the door to her competing inside the ring.

And she swung the door open to a future appearance – although she admitted she would “get her ass kicked” in WWE.

Theron said: “I have zero martial arts background.

“I do have a background in ballet, I was a ballerina for the first part of my life, that was my first career.

“Strangely, I was a physical storyteller before I was a verbal one.

“There is an element of being able to play in the genre that reminds me a lot of my first career as a dancer and transforming and being emotional and telling an emotional story but never using your voice, just using your body.

“That, to me, is very similar, the discipline of ballet reminds me of the discipline of martial arts.”

Kingston replied by telling her: “I think you might actually have a career or a future, if you wanted it, as a WWE superstar.

“The fact for you to be able to pick up those moves so naturally, I would love to see you go one-on-one with a Becky Lynch, or like a Sasha Banks. Do you know what I mean?

“Or Bayley, or Charlotte [Flair]! I feel like you would fit right in.”

And the idea seemed a hit with Theron, who responded: “Wow, is this an invite? Yes! When and where?

“I know we‘re in a crisis situation right now, so it’s not any time soon.

“But that sounds awesome and I will get my ass kicked.

“So that would be really entertaining for everybody to watch because I am a mere actor.

“But that would be so much fun.”
