Later in the show’s closing segment, Jalen Brunson joined Roman Reigns in the ring. The OTC presented the NBA Finals MVP with a custom New York Knicks-themed championship belt, but the celebration was interrupted by their respective rivals, Seth Rollins and Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton. A physical altercation then ensued. Although The Visionary initially gained the advantage, Reigns recovered with assistance from Brunson before putting Rollins down with a spear to end the show on top.

The report noted that WWE officials understood the unique atmosphere surrounding the Madison Square Garden event. The local crowd was eager to celebrate the Knicks ending their 53-year championship drought. Despite understanding the excitement, there was a strong internal feeling that the presentation “went further than many would have preferred.”

WrestleVotes also reported that a source spoke the day after Saturday Night’s Main Event and suggested that part of the internal reaction may simply come down to differing interests behind the scenes. According to the source, some people backstage are not particularly invested in sports, which may have contributed to the mixed opinions regarding the extensive NBA crossover.

Roman Reigns’ major WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event moment was Triple H’s idea

A new report has revealed that one of the biggest moments from Saturday Night’s Main Event was originally pitched by WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H.

According to Ibou of Self Made Sessions, Triple H personally came up with the idea for the show’s closing segment involving Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Jalen Brunson, and Tyrese Haliburton.

“Triple H had an idea for the show. His idea was, quote, ‘What if Haliburton went out with Seth and they just like tried to fight Roman and Jalen?’ And at the time when Hunter pitched this, people were like, ‘I hear you.’ And it ended up happening.”

With WWE SummerSlam around the corner, it will be interesting to see what other cross-promotional segments the sports entertainment juggernaut features on TV.
