A couple of NBA stars helped with Saturday Night’s Main
Event last night at Madison Square Garden, including two
from the title-winning New York Knicks.
The first one to leave his mark was Karl-Anthony Towns, who
came out from Danhausen’s cloning machine to a big pop from
the NY crowd.
KAT assisted Danhausen in the No Disqualification match,
chokeslamming JD McDonagh and then hitting another picture-
perfect chokeslam on Dom Mysterio through a table. After
Danhausen won the match against JD with the Triple D, the
two celebrated in the ring much to delight of the fans.
Later in the main event of the show, Jalen Brunson of the
Knicks came out with Roman Reigns so Madison Square Garden
could acknowledge both of them. Reigns presented Brunson
with a customized WWE World Heavyweight title belt replica
and after the crowd acknowledged them, Seth Rollins’ theme
song interrupted the festivities.
But Rollins didn’t come out, it was the Knicks’ arch
nemesis, Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers, who
stepped out from Gorilla with a chair in hand. Haliburton
and Brunson have some history on the court and in WWE as the
two had a confrontation a few years ago on WWE TV.
Rollins did eventually come out through the stands to beat
up on Reigns. He tried to curb stomp Reigns on a chair, but
the Knicks star prevented that, allowing Reigns enough time
toe recover and get the upper hand on Rollins with a
Superman punch and spear. Both heels then got the hell outta
dodge while Reigns and Brunson celebrated with the NBA
Championship trophy and the WWE titles.
