From the moment LaVar Ball opened his mouth, it was difficult to ignore the fact that he would be perfect for the WWE. When LaVar gets on the mic, you can't wait to hear what he has to say. Whether you love or hate him, it's undeniable that Ball is pure entertainment.

Of course, any appearance at a WWE event would have to wait until LaVar took care of some other important business. Once his son Lonzo declared for the 2017 NBA Draft, LaVar went anywhere and everywhere, hyping up the talents of his oldest child while developing a polarizing persona of his own.

This past week, Lonzo was taken by the Los Angeles Lakers with the second overall pick. It was the actualization of a moment LaVar admits to envisioning since his son was a baby. With Lonzo's future all mapped out, LaVar has time now.

It was reported on Sunday that the WWE was looking to book LaVar and Lonzo for Monday night’s episode of WWE Raw, which would take place in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, the future home of the Lake Show's franchise point guard. When LaVar finally made his grand entrance, he left us thoroughly entertained.

Then, LaVar took his shirt off and acted a fool.

During a heated moment between LaVar and The Miz, LaMelo was apparently heard saying something that shouldn't have been caught on mic.

All in all, it was a win-win situation for the Ball family—but not for the WWE, who issued a statement of apology for the language. They said, "The inappropriate language used by a guest during the 'Miz TV' segment was not scripted nor reflects WWE's values."
