Knicks stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson made appearances at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event at Madison Square Garden. Towns emerged from a cloning machine to help pro wrestler Danhausen by delivering massive chokeslams to The Judgment Day's JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio.

Brunson was shown to kick off the event and walked out with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns to close the show. Brunson, wearing a brace on his left wrist, helped Reigns take care of Seth Rollins and Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton. Reigns presented Brunson with a custom WWE championship belt and the two celebrated in the ring afterward with the Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy.
