The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has got people doing a double take with her latest career move, with many mistakenly thinking she has joined WWE.
In a report from Variety, Meghan has signed up for representation with the Hollywood talent agency WME, in what will be seen as a lucrative acquisition for the company, which already boasts clients such as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and tennis great Serena Williams.
Meghan's team at WME will include Endeavor CEO Ari Emmanuel as well as top agents Jill Smoller and Brad Slater. While she does have experience as an actor a return to that field is not thought to be on the agenda. Film and television and brand partnerships are more likely to be explored.

While this is obviously intriguing news from a Meghan and Harry perspective, the news has sideswiped a few people who have mistakenly read WME as 'WWE' aka World Wrestling Entertainment leading to some very puzzled reactions.

\u201cYou\u2019d be correct in thinking I\u2019d misread this and thought the most mental thing to ever happen had happened.\u201d— Evan (@Evan) 1682636323

\u201cI\u2019ve only just woken up and at first glance I thought this said Meghan was joining WWE, which would have been a really unexpected plot twist. \n\nFinishing move - The Royal Elbow\u201d— Strawknee (@Strawknee) 1682660413
\u201cSaw this and read it quickly without my glasses on and for a few glorious moments I thought that Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex had signed with @WWE Wonder if she'd start on NXT or go right to the #WWEDraft\u201d— Jason C. McLean (@Jason C. McLean) 1682649663
Just for the record, Meghan Markle has not signed with WWE although we do think she'd have great promo skills and would love to see her work a program with Dominik Mysterio.
You never know, maybe her new colleague The Rock could give her some tips.
