Luke Littler can now count a special invite from the WWE as the latest gift he’s received following his breakthrough at the World Darts Championship.
The 16-year-old became an overnight sensation at Alexandra Palace as he embarked on a historic run all the way to the final.
World No 1 Luke Humphries proved too much for Littler in the end, but the teenage darts sensation had already made a name for himself.
His remarkable run at the major has already led to numerous offers for Littler to consider.

Anthony Joshua’s production company, SBX Studios, is reportedly leading the bidding to secure the rights for a blockbuster film on the young darts star’s life.
Littler has already received an invitation from his boyhood club Manchester United to attend their upcoming match against Tottenham while Rio Ferdinand wants the darts star to feature on his podcast.
Supermarket chain Iceland have even offered Littler a lifetime supply of kebab meat after the meal became a staple of the teenager’s diet throughout the championship.
Sponsorship deals and endorsements are expected to follow in the coming months as well with financial experts predicting the 16-year-old to be worth millions.
Now he’s been given a public invite from the WWE to attend their show in London later this year after the darts star revealed his walk-on music was inspired by Wrestlemania.
“Unbelievable run, @LuketheNuke180,” WWE UK wrote on X.
“We heard #WrestleMania 33 inspired your entrance music on @BBCR1, so you’re officially invited to @TheO2 on April 19 when WWE rolls through London.
“We might even hit @Pitbull’s “Greenlight” for you!”

WWE will be hoping to convert Littler back to being a fan as the darts star admitted that he no longer followed it.
He said: “It’s fair to say I don’t like the wrestling anymore.
