Folks, get ready for some crossover star power! WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the man with more championship belts than most people have socks, just shared a picture that’s got everyone talking. He posed with none other than World Welterweight Champion Terence Crawford after his jaw-dropping appearance on “WWE SmackDown” last night. It’s a match made in sports entertainment heaven!
Now, let me set the scene: Terence Crawford, who’s been making waves on “SmackDown” and getting under the skin of Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, had another unforgettable moment. During Friday’s segment, A-Town Down Under (Theory and Waller for the uninitiated) decided to run their mouths, and boy, did they pay for it. Crawford laid out Theory with a punch so fast, it made lightning jealous, while Waller did what Waller does best – ran for the hills. The crowd in Crawford’s hometown lost their minds, folks. They were eating it up like free pizza at a college party.
Triple H, never one to miss a photo op, shared a snap of himself and Crawford in his signature pose – that’s right, the classic “pointing at the guest” pose we all know and love. He posted it on social media with a big shoutout: “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.”
Let’s talk about this next fight, folks. Crawford is set to face Israil Madrimov on August 3 for the WBA and WBO Interim World titles at Super Welterweight level. This is the same Crawford who, just last July, became the undisputed champion at 147 pounds by defeating Errol Spence Jr. for an entire alphabet soup of titles: WBA, WBO, WBF, WBC, IBF, and The Ring Magazine. That’s more letters than a bowl of alphabet soup! If he wins against Madrimov, Crawford will become a world champion in four different weight classes. His record? An impeccable 40-0, with 31 wins by TKO. His opponent? Madrimov, with a solid 10-0-1 record, looking to make a name for himself.
So there you have it. Triple H, Terence Crawford, and a SmackDown to remember. It’s the crossover event of the century, and we’re here for it!
