WWE presented Saturday Night's Main Event at Madison Square Garden, weaving New York Knicks players into its wrestling storylines as part of a celebration of the team's championship season. The cross-promotion capitalized on the shared New York audience between professional wrestling and basketball entertainment.

Karl-Anthony Towns actively participated in a no disqualification match featuring Danhausen against JD McDonagh, providing physical support to Danhausen. Towns executed chokeslams on both McDonagh and Rey Mysterio, with one maneuver sending Mysterio through a table and generating enthusiastic crowd response. Alongside Towns, NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson made an appearance at the event, further highlighting the Knicks' involvement in the wrestling programme.
