Just moments after Cody Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Championship with a belt-assisted DDT and a Cross Rhodes to put down Drew McIntyre, WWE delivered another viral moment—but it happened outside the ring.
Right before Jade Cargill made her entrance to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship, the cameras cut to a packed front row featuring a seriously unexpected group of stars: Pauly Shore, Post Malone, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Gabriel Luna.
Post Malone, rocking a cowboy hat and blue shades, was all smiles. Pauly Shore hyped it up like only he can, and stand-up comic Tony Hinchcliffe posted up casually with a grin. Joining them was actor Gabriel Luna, known for The Last of Us, Terminator: Dark Fate, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.—adding some real Hollywood star power to WWE’s Salt Lake City show.
Each celebrity got a proper on-screen graphic, and the energy in the building instantly spiked. WWE didn’t need to explain why they were all there—the reaction said it all.
With CM Punk vs. Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre, and Jade Cargill going to war with Tiffany Stratton, the night was already stacked. But that celebrity cutaway proved WWE knows exactly when to throw in a moment that fans will be talking about all over social media.
