Duke Deuce may have a future in professional wrestling after body-slamming a fan and getting an offer from Rick Ross to join All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
During his performance at Rolling Loud California in Inglewood on Saturday (March 4), the Memphis rapper had to deal with an overzealous fan that crashed his set, and set him up for the 3-D wrestling move made famous by The Dudley Boyz.

Footage of the body-slam surfaced online, showing Duke finishing off a song before his DJ told the fan to get off the stage. The fan made his way to the front and ran toward Deuce, who then picked him up and had his friend grab his head to slam him on the stage floor.
Security dragged the fan off stage while Duke’s friend continued kicking him, and the rapper rolled right into his next song.

The move caused a roar amongst festival goers and even drew a response from Rick Ross, who made a bold claim in the comments section of No Jumper’s Instagram post.
“I’ll sign him to @aew,” Rozay wrote.
It seems Rick Ross hasn’t shaken off his manager character from his time on AEW last November. The MMG boss was a special guest on the wrestling promotions’ Dynamite event, where he participated in a backstage segment alongside announcer Tony Schiavone and wrestlers Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee.
Schiavone began the segment by introducing Ross as a multi-platinum recording artist, which led the rapper to cut him off and asked to be addressed by another term.

“Wait, wait? The Biggest Bawse… Rick Ross,” he said before yelling into the camera.
Rozay then began defending Strickland from Schiavone, asking questions about a situation that occurred the week prior. Ross demanded the conversation stay “positive” before he explained why he was there in the first place.

“I’m here for one reason and one reason only,” he said. “I want to make this clear: making sure Swerve is not only the biggest wrestler in the industry, but also the largest recording artist in the world. That’s why we’re here; we’re celebrating today and that’s why we’re here. The biggest.”
Keith Lee then entered the segment to confront Strickland over his actions in recent weeks. As Lee listed off Strickland’s violations, Rick Ross cut him off, yelling: “Accusations, false accusations!”
Ross returned for another Dynamite episode where he dropped an F-bomb during a segment. He had graced the mic to narrate the tension in the ring between superstars Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland, and the MMG mogul couldn’t believe how big Lee was.
“You a big muthafucka’,” he told Lee.

The “f-bomb” from Ross wasn’t censored either, which put a nervous look on the 300-pound wrestler’s face. Rozay then stayed in the ring to debut his Mogul Affiliates stable of Swerve and Parker Boudreaux, putting the beats on Lee.
“Woah. History being made,” he said. “The Mogul Affiliates.”

The rapper continued showing off his skills on the mic to narrate the carnage in the ring as a cinderblock was broken over Keith Lee’s stomach courtesy of a Swerve Strickland stomp from the top rope.
“I need y’all to know it is official,” Rozay announced. “Mogul Affiliates has partnered up with Maybach Music.”

The cameras couldn’t get enough of Ross as he went on to keep the promo rolling backstage with an interview making his presence felt at Dynamite.
“We’re coming to take over the whole game. All you know me for is one thing, and that’s winning, getting big money. Ain’t no more friends,” he said before hitting on the reporter. “You cute too, baby. I got that G-Wagon waiting for you.”
