We knew Trae Young was an incredible basketball player already, but who knew he was this good as a heel?
He is the villain of sports in New York City right now. The last time folks in the city saw him, he was booting the Knicks out of the playoffs while taking bows and blowing kisses.
This dude knows exactly what he’s doing. He lives to agitate this crowd. And he did the same thing on Friday night with an appearance on WWE Smackdown.
Young made a surprise appearance on the show and as soon as his name was uttered the fans in New York went crazy with boos.

Buddy was back in Madison Square Garden like he never left. Every fan in the building was livid. It was glorious.
And just like he did when he was torching the Knicks in the playoffs, dude had an absolute blast. He got tossed for interference after grabbing Rey Mysterio and even gave us the whole “who, me?” act he gives us after a terrible foul.

He posted this tweet afterward, too.

Of course, the internet went wild for this.
