UConn’s Dan Hurley appears on WWE Raw with The Miz, R-Truth

Dan Hurley may be the king of Connecticut, but R-Truth didn’t seem all that afraid of him.

The head coach of the UConn men’s basketball team appeared on WWE Monday Night Raw in Hartford, Connecticut, and R-Truth suggested that Awesome Truth fight the Huskies.

His tag team partner, The Miz, explained to him that this would be quite difficult since the Huskies are a basketball team:

That WWE would release Hurley during his stop in Connecticut is no surprise.

After all, he has led the Huskies to consecutive national championships and keeps the program running at the top of the sport. Frankly, they have barely been challenged in the past two NCAA Tournaments, with double-digit wins in every single game.

To say he is a fan favorite in the state would be a massive understatement.

Perhaps Awesome Truth would have provided a greater challenge on Monday than any of the tournament’s opponents.
