Roman Reigns was not the only major wrestling name at UFC Freedom 250.
WWE President Nick Khan was also in attendance at the White House event, alongside Shane McMahon. Nick could be seen in the background of footage posted by Shane’s son, Declan McMahon.
That is notable because Freedom 250 was the first-ever UFC event to take place on the White House lawn. The event aired live on Paramount+ and was headlined by Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje. TKO had already promoted Roman Reigns being at the event, posting a photo of The OTC at the White House.
“The OTC at The White House ☝ #UFCWhiteHouse”
Reigns reposted it with his usual simple message.
“☝”
With Reigns, Nick Khan, and Shane McMahon all tied to the weekend event, Freedom 250 had plenty of WWE crossover presence. TKO CEO Ari Emanuel was also featured during the opening of Sunday’s broadcast, adding another key executive presence to the historic event.
Freedom 250 was already a historic UFC event because of the White House setting, but the WWE names in attendance made it feel even more like a full TKO showcase.
