WWE executives Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Stephanie McMahon attended Saturday’s Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder fight in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The couple was shown backstage as part of Fury’s entourage. The commentators mentioned them by name while also referencing Fury’s WWE match with Braun Strowman match from last fall.

Powell’s POV: Fury won the fight when his corner threw in the towel in the seventh round. Braun Strowman also got in on the fun afterward by tweeting a challenge to Fury to come after his Intercontinental Championship.

“Fury won the fight when his corner threw in the towel in the seventh round.”
I’m guessing it was the OTHER corner who threw in the towel?
