Tacko Fall and the Boston Celtics had Friday night off but that didn’t mean the 7-foot-5 center wasn’t busy as Fall made an appearance on Friday Night SmackDown to meet WWE star John Cena backstage.
Fall shared a moment with the 16-time world champion as the two briefly discussed the city of Boston and the weather. Fall told Cena that he was a big fan of his as the entertainer has become one of the most popular figures in the sport.
Cena is no longer full-time with WWE though the 42-year-old returned on Friday to announce he will be competing in Wrestlemania 36 on April 5.
