Paul Walter Hauser thanked his parents, voters, agents and fellow nominees in his acceptance speech in January when he won an Emmy for his role in “Black Bird.”

Then, in a move more fitting for Sting than Stingray, Hauser cut a promo straight out of the squared circle.

“That’s a ‘what up’ to Jesus, he’s the soul owner. I own the body, I’m about to beat Matt Cardona,” he said.

Hulk Hogan or Roman Reigns sure never trash-talked a wrestling opponent from an awards show stage.

The 37-year-old Hauser lived up to his word two months later and lit a table on fire before ally Bully Ray slammed Cardona, a former WWE star, through a table at an independent wrestling show.

Much like his acting career — where Hauser is set to shake up the Marvel Cinematic Universe — his professional wrestling career is heating up, too.

Hauser has declared for the 40-man Battle Riot match on June 1 for the Major League Wrestling promotion card in Atlanta. He is among the wrestlers set to compete in a mashup of a battle royal and street fight at Battle Riot VI on YouTube.
