After a dreadful Achilles tear, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton attended the WWE SummerSlam in style with a walking boot and crutches. After the Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, it was hard to even imagine that the Pacers star could walk properly again any time soon. However, he proved everyone wrong, followed his guts, and walked into the WWESummerSlam with pride.
The walking boot is a major improvement for him as he was using a scooter to move around, less than two weeks ago. However, his appearance in the SummerSlam was met by heavy boos from the Knicks fans as the Pacers beat them in the Eastern Conference Finals earlier this Summer. The New York Knicks’ fans seemed to have a beef with the Pacers star.
Tyrese Haliburton’s injury didn’t seem to have affected him as he was seen attending the WWE SummerSlam with walking boots and crutches. It seems like he is a hardcore fan of the game and wanted to attend the same, even after a serious injury.
However, his appearance was met with heavy criticisms from Knicks fans all over the game. However, he embraced those criticisms and wanted to cheer up the WWE competitors. Earlier this Sunday, he went to the stadium show and watched the match.
The match got even more interesting when WWE’s iconic personality, John Cena walked out of the ring, met Tyrese Haliburton, posed with his signature move and took one of his crutches against Cody Rhodes. This was such an iconic moment for the Pacers star.
Fans and the media were cheering them, hyping the situation. However, Tyrese Haliburton’s crutch didn’t seem to help the undisputed champion of WWE as Cody Rhodes beat John Cena earlier in the game to win the title.
