“Jordanesque”: WWE Superstar Seth Rollins Gives Caitlin Clark Iconic Praise
Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark has captivated basketball fans across the country with her dazzling play and record-breaking performances — but now, she’s getting admiration from a surprising corner of the sports world. WWE superstar and fellow Iowan Seth Rollins recently delivered one of the highest compliments yet, comparing Clark’s impact to that of basketball legend Michael Jordan.
Appearing on Outta Pocket with RGIII, the WrestleMania 41 Night 1 headliner couldn’t hold back his enthusiasm when the topic of Clark came up.
“I love Caitlin Clark, man. I love Caitlin Clark,” Rollins said with a smile. “I don’t want to get blasphemous here, but I mean, it’s Jordanesque.”
That single word — Jordanesque — carries a lot of weight. Rollins went on to explain exactly why he believes Clark is worthy of such a legendary comparison. It’s not just her ability to take over a game or bury deep three-pointers with ease; it’s the way she’s transformed the landscape of women’s basketball.
“She’s changed the game,” Rollins said. “She’s so unassuming. You look at her and you don’t expect what she’s about to do — then she goes out there and dominates.”
Clark’s meteoric rise has already had a measurable impact, drawing record-breaking viewership for college games, packing arenas, and shining a spotlight on the WNBA as she prepares for her rookie season with the Indiana Fever. But for Rollins, her influence goes beyond the hardwood.
“What she’s done for women’s sports is incredible,” he added. “Not just the WNBA — all of women’s sports. She’s started conversations, debates, rivalries. People are talking. Who’s the face of the league? Is it her? Is it Angel Reese? Is Paige Bueckers next? That kind of buzz is powerful.”
Clark has never been short on fans or attention, but hearing such iconic praise from a fellow Iowan and global wrestling star underscores how far her reach has grown. From the hardwood to the squared circle, Caitlin Clark is proving that she’s not just changing the game — she’s becoming a cultural phenomenon.
And if Seth Rollins says it’s Jordanesque? You better believe the world is watching.
