Summary

Jalen Brunson stopped by WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut during the NBA season and was asked to build a five-man WWE basketball lineup.

Brunson went with Shawn Michaels at point guard, Jeff Hardy at shooting guard, Roman Reigns at small forward, The Undertaker at power forward, and Big Show at center.

The video was released as WWE brought Raw to Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Brunson's WWE lineup by position

Brunson's picks covered different WWE eras and styles, from Michaels and Hardy to Reigns, Undertaker, and Big Show. The list leaned on recognizable star power and size in the frontcourt with Undertaker and Big Show.

What Shawn Michaels being first means for WWE crossover conversations

Shawn Michaels being Brunson's first pick keeps a Hall of Fame-era name central in current fan crossover talk, and that helps WWE connect generations when athletes from other sports discuss their favorites.

It also adds to how visible Michaels has been in recent WWE-adjacent coverage, including when Tony D’Angelo discussed Michaels’ role in NXT coaching.
