In these past playoffs, Trae Young became the enemy of New York City, when he ended the Knicks’ hopes of making some noise in the playoffs with his incredible performances, while provoking the crowd at Madison Square Garden.
Young not only got insulted by the fans, he also was spat on and responded by destroying the Knicks.
A couple of months later, Young was back at the Garden. Yesterday, during WWE Smackdown, Trae Young made his WWE debut and unlike the many NBA players appearing on one of the brand’s shows before, he made his debut as a heel.
Young was introduced by Sami Zayn as ‘someone who knows how to win in MSG’, and obviously was met with numerous boos. Young then even was ejected by the referee during a 10 man tag match for interfering with Rey Mysterio.
