Ever since WWE powerbombed its way onto Netflix, things have been gloriously unhinged. In a wild episode of Netflix India, featuring Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Rohan Joshi, and Aaditya Kulshreshth aka Kullu, when asked who would make a seamless transition from Netflix to WWE, Mysterio casually name-dropped Stranger Things’ Jim Hopper as a perfect WWE fit. The reaction? Pure approval all around. While there is no official word from David Harbour stepping into the WWE arena, fans are already picturing the actor trading blows for belts.

Aaditya Kulshreshth jumped in swiftly with his pick, suggesting Pablo Escobar, which sparked some lighthearted teasing. He went on to mention that Escobar has a unique style, and even has "hippos," prompting the group to burst into laughter at his unexpected, yet amusing choice, with fans questioning if WrestleMania could body-slam its way onto Netflix. While the mood stayed playful on set, the name-drop of Jim Hopper adds unexpected weight, as Harbour’s real-life headlines now carry the kind of chaos usually reserved for WWE storylines.
