In what looks like a one of the best publicity stunts in the history of presidential elections, Barack Obama with appear on the April 21st episode of WWE Raw in Greenville, South Carolina. Obama will team up with the Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson in the Rock’s return to professional wrestling. They will fight in a tag team match against unknown opponents.
Obama confirmed the match early this morning after the news of the event was leaked late last night. Obama said that he is looking foward to teaming up with the Rock, who Obama met last year at at a rally in Chicago. “Dwayne Johnson is a great guy and I am looking foward to being on his side in the ring,” said Obama. When asked about his strategy Obama said, “I don’t know, I will probably be hiding behind the Rock.”
Tickets are currently sold out for the event and ratings for the show are expected to reach record highs. The episode will air live on the USA Network.

Is this true or is it an April Fools’ Day joke? If it’s a joke, that’s fucking hilarious.
