The buzz of sports crowning its champions crossed over to the WWE world via social media.
The Miz hung around the Cleveland Cavaliers building, hoping for a comeback from his hometown team. The Chicago Blackhawks celebrated their big victory the same way top WWE stars do: with a strap of leather and gold in hand. And Seth Rollins' promo on Monday's Raw may have inspired the Golden State Warriors to their first NBA title in decades.
Elsewhere on the WWE social media stratosphere, Rusev kept his eye on Lana, Randy Orton swiped John Cena's finishing move and WWE paid tribute to the late Dusty Rhodes in classy fashion.

Fresh Backstage WWE Rumors 👊

Modern-Day Dream Matches 💭

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
We begin first, though, with Sean Waltman (aka X-Pac) playing dumb about Kevin Owens.
A fan asked him if the NXT champ reminded him of Bubba Ray Dudley. Waltman joked that Owens' moves more resembled a guy he once saw thrive on the indy circuit:
Owens has been giving the NXT Championship far more airtime as of late. He's been hauling it around on Raw, SmackDown and at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. It's a trophy that's hard to imagine anyone taking away from him.
Steph Curry and the Warriors seized a trophy of their own on Tuesday night. Apparently, one of Rollins' rants rang in their ears as they finished off the Cavs. As reported by Lee Jenkins for Sports Illustrated, the Warriors played Rollins' promo from Raw in a video package before the game.
Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey shared a screenshot of the story:
The Blackhawks didn't need any motivation from Rollins to grab their own championship. They took home the Stanley Cup after knocking off the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night.
There was a clear WWE tint to Patrick Kane and Co.'s celebration of that victory, though. The WWE World Heavyweight Championship has been a consistent presence at recent sports title wins, and this hockey triumph was no different:
Cleveland will have to wait to do their own celebrating. The Cavs didn't have enough firepower to contend with the Splash Brothers in the NBA Finals. LeBron James, though, gave an effort worthy of having a statue made of him.
The Miz believes it should be him who gets that honor:
Well, he did win a championship back in 2010.
Johnny Manziel will be trying for his own title once the NFL season starts. Maybe The Miz can give him some pointers. The two athletes met up at Monday's Raw, where Manziel took in the show and suffered an insult from Rollins:
Too bad Manziel doesn't have a Money in the Bank equivalent to land him a Super Bowl.
Being able to hit an RKO on defensive backs would help, too. Orton's signature move was one of 10 finishers that WWE featured in it latest countdown video.
Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho and the Montreal Screwjob all made the cut:
Rusev's injured foot has kept him delivering power moves, either his own or those other wrestlers made famous. He has been keeping busy, however, prowling around Lana, hoping for a second chance with here.
WWE furthered this story of a broken relationship on Instagram. A backstage photo caught The Bulgarian Brute being a creep:
For much of the week, WWE has been paying tribute to The American Dream after his passing last Thursday. Many shows have been dedicated to him.
Before the Money in the Bank pay-per-view began, the roster stood at the entrance ramp as a 10-bell salute rang out:
And on just about every WWE show, the company aired a stirring video tribute to Rhodes:
You can criticize Vince McMahon and his company for a good number of things, but there's no debating how tremendous WWE is when it comes to paying homage to a legend who is no longer with us. This powerful video for Rhodes is the latest example of how masterful WWE is at saying goodbye with respect and great heart.
Good luck keeping your eyes dry watching this from start to finish.
