Once Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes is finished in the NBA, he may have another career to pursue.

WWE Raw was in Toronto on Monday night, performing at the Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena in front of a sellout crowd. Though the show had mixed reviews, Barnes seemed to be loving the action.

The 24-year-old was in attendance for the big event, and was fully bought in on the hype. He was even seen dawning a Raptors wrestling belt while holding a massive smile on his face.

The Raptors schedule worked out perfectly for Barnes to attend the event, as the team isn’t back in action until Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena versus the New York Knicks.

It’s been an impressive season to date for the Raptors. They currently sit third place in the Eastern Conference with a 29-19 record, and are just one game back of the Boston Celtics for second.

Barnes, who played in his first All-Star Game in 2024, has had a major role in the Raptors’ success.

Barnes currently sits second on the Raptors in points-per-game this season with an average of 19.5. He’s also tied for second amongst his teammates with 5.6 assists per game, while leading the way in rebounds with an average of 8.7.

Monday’s show in Toronto marked the first WWE performance at the Scotiabank Arena since March 1, 2025, an event that saw the returns of Randy Orton and Jade Cargill. It was perhaps most remembered for being John Cena’s final Elimination Chamber experience.Â
