Knicks villain Tyrese Haliburton booed at MetLife Stadium for WWE SummerSlam
NY Post
New York and New Jersey wrestling fans seemed ready to lay the smackdown on Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, and the Pacers star was more than happy to play the heel during SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Haliburton, a noted wrestling aficionado, was in the building for the second night of the WWE event taking place in the Meadowlands, even though he’s recovering from surgery that repaired a torn Achilles tendon.
He has become a villain in the eyes of many New York sports fans due to the rivalry between the Knicks and Indiana, and he was greeted with that energy when he was shown on the video board inside MetLife Stadium.
And he gleefully lapped it up.
Haliburton rubbed his hands together and flashed a wide grin before the boos started, which he encouraged.
He waved his arms in a motion to encourage louder boos and could he heard saying, “I love you too” as WWE broadcaster Michael Cole was explaining Haliburton’s appearance at SummerSlam.
