Before he became a WWE Superstar, Titus O’Neil took to the field as a college football and NFL player. On Friday in Johannesburg, he took to the field again, this time with South Africa’s famed Orlando Pirates football club.
In between media appearances to promote WWE’s upcoming Live Events in South Africa April 18-21, O’Neil met with the Premier Soccer League team at Rand Stadium, and even led the players out as they chanted their way on the field for practice.
The Pirates were equally as honored to meet O’Neil, who met with the players one-by-one in the locker room and on the field.

Bucs midfielder Bernard Morrison, who took a playful slap from O'Neil on the field, also made sure the WWE Superstar was on the receiving end of some of his moves. The result wasn't a pinfall or a disqualification, but rather a good laugh for everyone around Pirates Headquarters.
