Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton showcased his love for professional wrestling during a recent WWE NXT event in Orlando, where he took playful jabs at the local NBA team, the Orlando Magic. Haliburton, who has made multiple appearances in WWE events, quipped to the crowd, 'I would boo too if I had to be an Orlando Magic fan,' after being met with boos. His comments drew a sharp retort from NXT Champion Ethan Page, who humorously compared Haliburton and the Pacers to the Boston Celtics and made a dig about their playoff performance. Despite the spirited banter, Haliburton's wrestling aspirations seem evident, as he continues to engage with wrestling fans and athletes alike. The Pacers point guard has enjoyed a successful NBA season, including leading his team to the playoffs, and his wrestling antics are seen as a way to cultivate a 'heel' persona for future appearances. As the NBA offseason winds down, Haliburton's crossover appeal into wrestling remains a topic of interest.
