Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla is a man of many interests. His interviews have been a treasure trove of interesting quotes due to his wide-ranging curiosity.
Apparently Mazzulla is also a fan of WWE. Or at least tickled about it.
He and Derrick White joined the latest WWE RAW card at the TD Garden on Monday. When he was introduced during the break, the crowd greeted him enthusiastically.
Majulla felt it was best to turn heel hilarious attack White, as shown in video posted by Celtics reporter Ian Ianangelo.

Who said wrestling is fake?
Mazzulla’s experience became even more memorable when Triple H handed him a customized championship belt with the Celtics logo.
“Great to see @Celtics Coach Joe Mazzulla @TDGarden. Now you’re ready for #WWERaw,” Triple H wrote on Twitter.

This drew various reactions from fans, including some who couldn’t help but make fun of it.
@HunchoGambles said, “If even Joe Mazzulla knows who you are, recognize that.”
@MoonshotMagic said, “Everyone I know would love to stay home and watch ‘The Town’ for the 88th time this week.”
@sirkennix posted, “Yo, Mazzulla with the custom belt. This is seriously dope. Boston is really eating it tonight.”
“Joe has post-game energy for Raw tonight?” asked @vexlyz.
@BigSteelerMood wrote, “The funny thing is that Joe is smiling.”
The Celtics lost 102-92 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, ending their four-game winning streak. Perhaps this was the reason Majulla didn’t seem too thrilled with Triple H’s gift.
However, Mazzulla also often looks the same – win or lose – so for all we know, he enjoyed it. Or maybe he’s just playing his heel role.
