NBA champion Dwight Howard was in attendance for Monday’s WWE Raw at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Howard watched from the crowd, reacting to the Intercontinental Title bout between Chad Gable and Ethan Page and more.

He also went backstage and spoke with Triple H, who invited him to hang around and that if he ever wanted to slam somebody, to let him know.

Howard attended a WWE tryout during SummerSlam weekend in 2022, cutting a promo during the tryout, but nothing came of it. In 2024, Howard revealed that Ric Flair told him his knees were too banged up to be a WWE superstar.

Howard is retired from the NBA, last playing in 2022 with the Los Angeles Lakers.
