Actor Matthew McConaughey was in attendance at Friday’s WWE SmackDown TV tapings in Austin, TX.
McConaughey was shown sitting in the front row, where he gave fans the “Hook Em” horn sign.
Later in the show, Kevin Owens confronted McConaughey and dared him to step over the barricade. This led to Jimmy Uso coming out to make the save.
