76ers' Joel Embiid Invited to WWE WrestleMania 40 by Triple H After Fine for DX Chop

Scott PolacekOct 31, 2023

Joel Embiid's celebrations might be on display in another arena next year.

After Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported the Philadelphia 76ers star was fined $35,000 for his celebration during Sunday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, the WWE chief content officer suggested Embiid should make an appearance at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia in April:

The celebration inspired by wrestling stable D-Generation X and Triple H is nothing new for Embiid, and it cost him $25,000 when he unleashed it last season against the Brooklyn Nets.

Triple H was also ready with a reply at the time:

For his part, Embiid told reporters at the time: "There's no secret that Triple H is my guy. Obviously, DX, when I used to watch wrestling, those were my guys. Any time I get the chance, I haven't done it in a while so I just felt like it was a good and-1. I got the ball, I didn't even see the rim, and I felt like it was deserving of a good celebration."

Embiid could have possibly teamed up with his "guy" at WrestleMania, but his response suggests he won't be making an appearance.
