WWE star calls out Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney

Published Apr. 16, 2016 9:15 a.m. ET

Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney has been challenged to a wrestling match by WWE star Sheamus.

Surprisingly, this isn't the first time Rooney has had a run-in with a WWE wrestler.

Back in November 2015, the 30-year-old -- who was a spectator at a WWE Raw show -- slapped down Wade Barrett after the British wrestler left the ring to confront him.

And now Sheamus has called out Rooney live on football-based talk show Soccer AM ahead of the WWE Live Wrestlemania Revenge tour in Manchester next week.

Surely, Sheamus will provide him with more of a challenge!
