WWE star-turned-politician Glenn Jacobs challenges Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to a charity wrestling match

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) is suddenly silent in the wake of a direct challenge from WWE wrestling champion-turned- Republican -politician Glenn Jacobs .

Walz had boasted just days earlier that conservatives who had criticized his masculinity during the 2024 election had only done so because he intimidated them.

Jacobs , who had great success as “ Kane ” in the WWE before transitioning to a life of public service in Tennessee , initially just laughed off Walz ’s comments.

But a short time later, after some consideration, Jacobs dropped a serious challenge on the Minnesota Governor.
