Tuesday was a special day for the Cavaliers, and a WWE superstar was at Quicken Loans Arena for the celebration.
The Cavaliers received their championship rings prior to their game against the Knicks in a ceremony that may or may not have included LeBron James mocking Stephen Curry’s pregame routine. Among those on hand for the festivities was wrestling legend The Undertaker.

Some will recall James wearing a shirt with The Undertaker on the front at practice during the NBA Finals earlier this year.

The Undertaker remembers and showed up out mutual respect for James.
Undertaker told me he's here because LeBron wore his t-shirt prior to Game 5 of the Finals. No previous relationship, just a mutual respect

After getting their rings and watching the championship banner raised to the rafters, Cleveland got their title defense off to a good start by beating New York 117-88 behind a triple-double by LeBron James. He finished the game with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 14 assists.
