Since reaching the final of the Darts World Championships in January, Luke Littler's world has been turned upside down, and everyone wants a piece of the teenage sensation.
The 17-year-old has been a busy boy between appearances on the circuit and his new profile away from the darts board.
However, Littler has been forced to turn down one offer after his day job got in the way - an invite to WWE's UK tour when they hit London on 19 April.
Littler was a huge wrestling fan growing up and chose his entrance theme, Pitbull's Greenlight, after attending WrestleMania 33 as a fan, where the song was used. Upon learning about his fandom, WWE reached out to invite the teen to the London leg of their UK tour later this month, but he has since had to reject the offer thanks to his success on the European tour.
In a reply on X, Littler wrote, "Thanks for the invite, but because I have qualified for @OfficialPDC @PDCEurope Euro Tour 4 that weekend in Germany, I won’t be able to make it. Hopefully, u can still hit Greenlight, though."
WWE will embark on a UK and Ireland tour at the end of the month following this week's WrestleMania. They will host shows in Birmingham, London, Cardiff, and Dublin.
