Roman Reigns is gearing up for SummerSlam, where he will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins.

But before that, he will enjoy a brief stop at Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden in New York.

A few days ago, the OTC took to Twitter, where he gave a shoutout to New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, inviting him to attend SNME as his guest.

Brunson, in turn, accepted the invitation with a simple, “See you there.”

A few hours before WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Roman Reigns shared a picture with Jalen Brunson, as the duo attended Fanatics Fest in the city.

Brunson shared his excitement about being part of SNME, saying that he would closely follow Reigns and enjoy the evening to its fullest.

Roman Reigns Reveals How Long He Plans To Wrestle In WWE

Roman Reigns and Jalen Brunson were part of the guest panel at Fanatics Fest in New York.

At 41 years old, Reigns is fully aware that he is closer to the end of his WWE career than farther away from it. This was evidenced by his lack of television appearances last year and only 7 competitive matches.

He has appeared on a fair amount of shows in 2026 while also keenly pursuing his Hollywood ambitions.

While speaking at Fanatics Fest, the Tribal Chief was asked by the host about his future in the business and how long he sees himself competing as an active wrestler.

In response, Reigns shared that he had spoken to The Undertaker a while ago, who admitted to enjoying the privilege of making limited appearances during the near end of his career.

He also said that he saw himself wrestling for another 3 years or so.

I definitely have a few more years and, you know, what I’m doing now. I guess it just depends on what the schedule would look like…I guess it just depends on that, on what the outside projects look like, but I mean, I definitely feel comfortable with a couple to 3 more years of just elite-level top performance.

I’m still in my prime; I still feel very good. I think it just gets to the point of where do I wanna put my attention. I have a lot of children. I wanna be able to give back that time, and my wife, she sacrificed while I chased this dream. So, I think, in 3 years or so we’ll be able to figure out exactly what I wanna do and what are gonna be the variables that make me do that.
