Wrestler Danhausen ‘uncursed’ the Knicks during their Finals run and attended some games at Madison Square Garden.
Meanwhile, after the Knicks were crowned champions, Brunson appeared at Saturday Night’s Main Event alongside WWE star Roman Reigns last month.
Now, a video has been shared of the NBA star meeting Rhea Ripley.

When Rhea walked through the curtain, Brunson said: “Oh my goodness, how you doing? It’s a pleasure to meet you. Big fan, been a big fan for a while.”
Ripley then stated: “Meeting Jalen has been a long time in the works. He’s awesome, and he’s so good at what he does. And honestly, he’s really, really lovely, and I’m happy that I finally got to meet him.”
During the clip, the WWE superstar then asks Jalen if he would sign a steel chair with his image on it before later gifting him a women’s title.
On Rhea, Brunson stated: “I think she just asserts like dominance, captivates a room whenever she walks in. She’s unbelievable, unbelievable.”
For those interested, Rhea was, up until recently, the WWE Women’s Champion. However, she was forced to give up her title due to injury.
A ladder match for the vacant belt then took place at SummerSlam this past weekend, which Chelsea Green won.
It is not currently clear when Rhea will be back to challenge Chelsea for the title.
