Get ready because NBA Champion Jalen Brunson is making his return to Madison Square Garden for WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, and here’s the kicker: he’s doing it after undergoing surgery! The Knicks player and NBA Finals MVP isn’t just showing up; he’s stepping back into the ring on an invite from none other than Roman Reigns. Seriously, this dude has gotten physical in the ring before, so imagine the speculation flying around about what he’ll do this time, especially while he’s on the mend.
Brunson’s Risky Return and Danhausen’s Magic Touch
This isn’t Brunson’s first rodeo with WWE programming, but coming off surgery adds a whole new level of intrigue. What’s going to happen when he faces down Reigns, potentially still recovering? The stakes are sky-high, and you know the Garden crowd will be absolutely buzzing. Speaking of wild connections, remember how Danhausen apparently helped propel the Knicks to a title by cursing their opponents? Yeah, that Danhausen is also in action at Saturday Night’s Main Event, taking on JD McDonagh in a No Disqualification match. You know Jalen Brunson himself is hyped, he even tweeted “See you there ☝🏽” with a link. It just adds to the insane energy building up for this event.
Stacked Card for an Iconic Night
Beyond Brunson’s must-see appearance, the fight card is absolutely loaded with drama. We’ve got CM Punk and Cody Rhodes, who are actually set to battle each other at SummerSlam, teaming up to face Gunther and Sami Zayn. Can those two co-exist heading into their own massive title match this summer? That’s a huge question mark! Plus, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship is on the line as Paige and Brie Bella defend their titles against Fatal Influence, featuring Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley. Bayley also takes on Lyra Valkyria. This event is bringing back the vibe of the original Saturday Night’s Main Event, which was a ratings smash back in ’85 when WWE first teamed up with NBC.
Don’t Miss the Action from MSG
You absolutely cannot miss this! Saturday Night’s Main Event goes down this Saturday, July 18, kicking off at 8 p.m. ET, or 5 p.m. PT for us out here.

If you want to catch every single second of the action, live and uncensored, you gotta be on Peacock. That’s the only place to stream it live.
