Giannis Antetokounmpo is going after two titles this season; the NBA Championship and a WWE Championship. Before games, Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks have organized wrestling matches in the locker room area. Putting together pre-game wrestling matches is something you can do when you have the reigning MVP and sit atop the NBA with a record of 27-4.
Robin Lopez has been on the receiving end cobras and superkicks courtesy of Giannis and his tag team partner Wes Matthews.

Due to their dominance in the NBA tag team division, Matthews and Antetokounmpo were gifted WWE SmackDown Tag Team Titles from Bucks mascot Bango.

Tag team expert and former SmackDown Tag Team Champion Dash Wilder caught wind of the new champs and decided to issue a challenge.

Giannis has yet to accept the challenge. He's currently preparing for a Christmas Day showdown against "The Peacemaker" Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers.
