19-year-old Coco Gauff made history by becoming the youngest American to win the US Open since Serena Williams in 1999. This is a big moment in American tennis history as well as a big victory for the young starlet and to the surprise of many she decided to include the WWE Championship title in her celebrations.
Gauff became the 28th different woman to win the championship at Flushing Meadows in the Open era. She saw off Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 to claim the honor.
Coco Gauff poses with the WWE Championship
During the celebration of her trophy win, Gauff posted a photo on ‘X’ (Twitter) showcasing the US Open Grand Slam trophy. But her eyes were looking not at the trophy or the lens of the camera. Instead, her eyes darted straight to the WWE Championship draped on her shoulder. She captioned the image: “(trophy emoji) with the belt goes hard”
She isn’t wrong at all as the cup and the title certainly go well together. Could this be a hint at her potential crossover with WWE? Also, do you think that Stephanie McMahon’s dream of calling over Serena Williams might be shifted to bringing this young talent instead?
Whatever the future holds for the young tennis sensation it is bound to keep the fans invested. Many fans hope that this win will be the beginning of her further success on the court.
