Karl-Anthony Towns returned to Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, but this time, the Knicks star was not there to shoot threes or battle for rebounds.
Towns made a surprise appearance during WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, entering the ring to assist Danhausen during his No Disqualification match against JD McDonagh. With Dominik Mysterio attempting to interfere, Towns stepped into the action and delivered chokeslams to both WWE performers. One of them sent Mysterio crashing through a table, drawing an enormous reaction from the New York crowd.
Wearing Knicks gear inside his usual home arena, Towns looked completely comfortable embracing the theatrical moment. The sequence helped Danhausen regain control and ultimately defeat McDonagh, making the NBA big man an unlikely difference-maker in the match.
