SUMMARY
- Tyrese Haliburton and the WWE have released t-shirt new merchandise available at the WWEShop.com.
- The Pacers guard happens to be a massive fan of the promotion.
Tyrese Haliburton recently concluded his best season yet, leading the Indiana Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers were severe underdogs in the East since teams like the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and a few others were dominating the floor. However, they somehow managed to have a deep playoff run which will in turn boost their experience in pressure situations and have them perform far better in the future.
Outside of his successful basketball career, Haliburton loves professional wrestling or the WWE. The famed organization and the Pacers guard collaborated for a customized merchandise release. Tyrese posted a few pictures on X with a caption that said, “Dream come true!! Out now!”

The t-shirt is available on WWEShop.com.

The WWE will be partnering up with the Indiana Sports Corp to host these three events. On hearing the massive announcement, Tyrese Haliburton commented on X saying, “Just hear me out @NBA,” showing interest in collaborating with the wrestling organization. Levesque responded to Tyrese saying, “I hear you.” Neither has announced a possible feature in one of the events, but fans are convinced that Haliburton will be visiting the ring.
The Pacers star was a massive fan of professional wrestling as a kid
While growing up in Wisconsin, Tyrese Haliburton loved watching WWE events. So much so that he used to put up a fit just to make his mother pay for pay-per-view events. The 2x NBA All-Star used to watch various wrestling shows and the WWE with his late uncle, Garry.

Eventually, Haliburton would have his father purchase tickets to watch live events in Wisconsin. But nowadays, his love for the WWE can be a little frustrating for the Pacers team. Tyrese once requested to fly separately to Memphis ahead of a Grizzlies game, just to watch WWE Fastlane live.
