Tyrese Haliburton wanted to make a Royal Rumble splash, but Triple H apparently wasnt having it.
The Indiana Pacers point guard revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that he had discussions with WWEs Chief Content Officer about entering the 2025 Royal Rumble, but ultimately, the idea got shut down.
I wanted to be in the Rumble. Me and Triple H talked about it. He was like, A lot of people are asking if youre going to be in the Rumble. I just laughed in their face. What the f**k? Haliburton said, making it clear he wasnt too thrilled with the response.
He then speculated that Triple H was a little scared about letting him get physical in the middle of the NBA season. He even referenced Jalen Brunsons involvement in the 2024 Rumble, where the New York Knicks star appeared with a broken hand, causing Triple H to freak out behind the scenes. Remember when Brunson got in there and pushed himself up with the broken hand and Triple H kind of had a heart attack? Haliburton added.
While he didnt step into the ring, Haliburton was at Lucas Oil Stadium for the Royal Rumble, making an on-screen appearance during Pat McAfees segment. With his growing connection to WWE, theres always a chance he could get his Rumble moment in the futuremaybe when the NBA season isnt on the line.
Should Triple H have let Haliburton enter the Royal Rumble? Would you want to see him compete in WWE down the road? Drop your thoughts below!
