NBA Rivals Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton Have Stare Down On WWE SmackDown
The match that no WWE fan knew they needed.
Tonight’s edition of SmackDown took place from Madison Square Garden in New York City and featured two of the NBA’s biggest superstars making guest appearances. New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson was shown sitting in the front row and received a thunderous ovation from the fans.
Then, U.S. Champion Logan Paul brought out Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton to accompany him to the ring, a move that got the fans in MSG to boo heavily as Haliburton led the Pacers to victory over Brunson and the New York Knicks during this year’s NBA playoffs. However, things didn’t end there.
Haliburton and Brunson would encounter each other and have a stare down, a tease that the two would collide inside of a wrestling ring.
