Michael Jordan is arguably the G.O.A.T. in the world of basketball. He had a long career in which he won the NBA finals playing for Chicago Bulls for almost 16 years. Jordan’s popularity grew to the extent that he became famous beyond basketball.

After retirement, MJ bought a minority stake in the NBA team Charlotte Hornets. However, a WWE Hall of Famer took a shot at Charlotte’s crowd over Jordan’s involvement in the Hornets team.
