WWE Superstars and Divas raise flag on historic Barclays flagpole
Before the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Superstars took to the ring for the biggest event professional wrestling held in Brooklyn, 2015’s SummerSlam, they answered the call and gave back.
On Thursday, August 20, WWE Superstars and Divas visited various firehouses and police precincts for the “Answer the Call” initiative of the New York Police and Fire Widows’ Fund.
Following the tour which included meeting cops, firefighters and the families of New York’s true heroes, the superstars were rewarded by Borough President Eric Adams at the Barclays Center Plaza where they proudly raised the WWE flag on the venue’s historic flagpole that stood in Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, until 1960.
