Houston Rockets star Dwight Howard got into it over the weekend with WWE stars Rusev and Lana.
You never know who you’re going to see get involved at a WWE live event, and over the weekend, Houston Rockets star Dwight Howard proved that theory more than correct.
This weekend WWE was running a live event in the Houston area, which brought Howard out to enjoy the festivities from a front row seat. Well at one point in the show, Russian supporters Rusev and Lana, two of the biggest heels in the business at the moment, were cutting one of their scathing promos when they just happened to catch the attention of Howard.
So, naturally, the show got a lot more interesting from there, with Lana telling Dwight Howard to sit down and shut up.
Well that was a nice John Cena impression there by Howard, playing the role of hero while the heels were in there trashing the country. That was not the last the WWE crowd saw of Howard, though, as he did actually get in the ring at one point to cut a small promo.
Again, you never know who or what you’re going to see at a WWE live event. There really is a reason that some are of the belief that live events are actually better than the televised shows.
