Dwight Howard Hits Back-to-Back Spinaroonies at Fanatics Fest 2025

Dwight Howard might’ve just pulled off the most unexpected wrestling moment of Fanatics Fest 2025.

In newly surfaced footage, the former NBA star made his entrance to Booker T’s iconic theme music—and didn’t stop there. After hitting the stage, Howard dropped to the floor and nailed not one, but two spinaroonies.

The crowd erupted as Howard mimicked Booker T’s signature move, spinning twice with the kind of athletic flair fans usually expect from seasoned pros.

This wild moment followed Rob Gronkowski’s D-Generation X entrance the earlier in the day, where he did Triple H’s water spit and crotch chops to a full crowd reaction. Triple H even responded to that one on Twitter, writing:

“Something tells me @RobGronkowski would’ve been perfect in DX… I give it a 10!”

Gronk may have earned his DX stripes, but Dwight Howard may have just raised the bar for celebrity WWE tributes with his double spinaroonie. Whether it was for fun or a tease of something more, Howard clearly knows how to leave a lasting impression.
