Roman Reigns invited a megastar to WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XLV earlier today. The show will take place at Madison Square Garden on July 18, 2026.

Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks is the megastar in question. In a recent post on X, Reigns invited Brunson to appear in New York City for Saturday Night's Main Event. The OTC claimed that Madison Square Garden would acknowledge the duo at SNME.

WWE has now confirmed that Jalen Brunson will make his return to the company after 750 days at Saturday Night's Main Event XLV. He will likely be Reigns' special guest on the show. The sports entertainment juggernaut also released the official graphic for Reigns' and Brunson's upcoming appearance in New York City.

You can view the official announcement below.

Jalen Brunson's last WWE appearance came on the June 28, 2024, episode of SmackDown. He helped LA Knight tackle Logan Paul and Tyrese Haliburton in an action-packed segment.

Recent reports suggested that Brunson might not be able to appear at Saturday Night's Main Event due to injury after initially being rumored to work with Danhausen. However, it seems like the popular basketball player has been cleared to show up at SNME.

Roman Reigns has been nearly unstoppable since capturing the World Heavyweight Championship from CM Punk at WrestleMania 42. After concluding his heated feud against Jacob Fatu, the OTC is set to battle his next big challenger.

On the RAW after Night of Champions 2026, Seth Rollins challenged Reigns to a World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam. Rollins reminded the OTC of their storied history and claimed that a potential title match was The Bloodline leader's last chance to exact revenge.

The OTC quickly accepted Rollins' challenge in a fiery promo segment. RAW general manager Adam Pearce recently announced that Roman Reigns and The Visionary will sign the contract for their upcoming championship bout on tonight's program.
