Triple H pulled up to Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and he wasn’t alone.

The WWE Chief Content Officer was spotted in the arena alongside WWE President Nick Khan and proud Indiana Pacers fan Pat McAfee. With the Pacers up 2-1 over the Knicks, WWE’s presence courtside only added to the spectacle.

This isn’t the first time WWE’s name has popped up in the Knicks vs. Pacers storyline. A year ago, Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton went face-to-face in a segment on SmackDown. Since then, WWE’s leaned into the narrative, jokingly taking credit for scripting this rivalry like one of their own.

As for McAfee, he’s not just supporting the Pacers—he’s got something personal riding on the outcome. McAfee and Michael Cole are locked in a friendly bet, and the loser is going to pay in wardrobe. If the Knicks win the series, McAfee has to suit up. If the Pacers take it, Cole will be forced into a tank top.

With WWE execs sitting courtside and a bet on the line, Game 4 had an extra layer of entertainment—both on and off the hardwood.
