The September 17, edition of WWE NXT saw the Superstars of the gold brand continue on the road to WWE NXT’s premiere on the CW, which will come on October 1. It wasn’t just the Superstars who appeared on this week’s show, however, as members of the Indiana Pacers also made their presence felt.
Tyrese Haliburton, decked in the shirt of NXT head Shawn Michaels, was initially shown meeting with NXT GM Ava and Haliburton was later part of the contract signing between NXT Champion Ethan Page and Trick Williams. Being a Pacer, Haliburton got a frosty reception from the Orlando crowd but had a comeback for those booing him and his team.
Tyrese Haliburton And WWE
Haliburton’s wrestling love is no secret, as he shared a heartwarming meeting with Booker T and Queen Sharmell in December 2023. In July 2024, Haliburton appeared on SmackDown and came to the aid of Logan Paul in a U.S. Championship qualifying match. Unfortunately for the duo, Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks prevented Haliburton from passing the brass knuckles to Paul in the Money in the Bank qualifying match that was won by LA Knight.
The world of pro wrestling and celebrity athletes have often come together and we can’t count out future appearances for Tyrese Haliburton in WWE. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on the basketball star and any plans he may have for a future in the ring.
