Everybody wants a piece of Sophie Cunningham.
Cunningham has proven she doesn’t mind getting physical with Indiana Fever opponents this season.
This is one reason why Women of Wrestling want Cunningham.
WOW co-founder, owner, and Indianapolis native Dave McLane first mentioned the Fever star at Comic Con in San Diego on Friday.
“I’m from Indiana,” McLane said, per The Daily Mirror.
“I’m from Indianapolis, and that’s the home of not only the second-best basketball team in the country this last year, but the biggest name in professional basketball today, Caitlin Clark. And Caitlin Clark has an enforcer. She’s the Marty McSorley to Wayne Gretzky, and she is a stunning athlete.
“I flew to Las Vegas and watched them in action against the Aces, and I would love to have Sophia Cunningham in WOW, because she takes down the competition, and she makes sure that Caitlin Clark is safe on the basketball floor. We’d love to have Sophie in WOW.”
That would then prompt WOW’s other co-owner, Los Angeles Lakers controlling owner and president Jeanie Buss to echoe his message.
“We would love to have (Cunningham) join us at @wowsuperheroes she is talented, dedicated and a fierce competitor!!” Buss tweeted about Sophie Cunningham.
Sophie Cunningham Gained Fame With Her Takedown Last Month

Cunningham, the seventh-year pro, has become an enforcer-like presence for the Fever in her first year with the team.
She notably came to the defense of teammate Caitlin Clark last month against the Connecticut Sun.
During the third quarter, Sun guard Jacy Sheldon poked Clark in the eye, resulting in a scuffle. Sophie Cunningham later retaliated by committing a flagrant foul on Sheldon, and the two went at it before officials ejected both of them from the game.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
