Why it matters

This crossover highlights WWE’s ongoing strategy to integrate mainstream sports figures into their programming, potentially attracting new viewers and creating buzz around their product.

• He’s aiming to become champion in his 4th weight class on August 3

What they’re saying

Triple H on X (formerly Twitter): “Big shout out to Terence Crawford for bringing some extra world championship power to #SmackDown, ahead of his huge fight next weekend in LA. Keep showing the world what you’re made of, champ.”
