Singer Justin Bieber has discussed a potential cameo role in professional wrestling federation, WWE, according to reports.

The 21-year-old singer – who was pictured hanging out with boxer Floyd Mayweather and his entourage ahead of the 'fight of the century' earlier this week – was in talks to headline the 2014 SummerSlam in Los Angeles, the WWE’s second biggest pay-per-view event after Wrestlemania.

Wrestling blogger Kevin Eck discussed teaming Bieber with professionals John Cena and the Big Show to face the Wyatt Family team in a six-man tag match.

Eck exlained: “To address that concern, the creative suggestion was that Cena would become increasingly annoyed by Bieber in the weeks leading up to the match, but Big Show, who would be portrayed as Bieber’s friend, would repeatedly play peacemaker.

“After the babyfaces went over in the match, Bieber would be so obnoxious in trying to take credit for the win that Cena would hit the Attitude Adjustment on him for a big pop.”

Despite not working out, Eck said that he hadn't ruled out the possibility of it happening in the future.

“It certainly wouldn’t surprise me to see Bieber do something with WWE at some point,” he said.
