"Is Eric Bischoff writing the script?" - NBA fans hype Jaylen Brown's Undertaker-inspired slit-throat gesture toward Isaiah Stewart 

Boston Celtics star wing Jaylen Brown threw down a strong two-handed jam over Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart during Wednesday's home matchup. His post-dunk celebration, which seemingly drew inspiration from WWE legend The Undertaker, hyped NBA fans on social media.

In his co-star Jayson Tatum's (knee) absence, Brown took on an increased offensive burden against Detroit. He got off to a strong start, tallying 16 points, three assists and two steals, shooting 62.5% in the first quarter.

Late in the opening stanza, the three-time All-Star saw an opening and drove straight to the basket from near midcourt. He promptly posterized Stewart and broke out a slit-throat gesture.

Afterward, fans on X/Twitter were fired up about Brown's highlight-worthy finish and reaction.

"Brown takes it to the rim with authority!" @BawarchiTT said.

"Brown slams hard, Celtics dominate," @zubairanshgmai1 wrote.

"GTFO the way Stewart," @BosSportsBros said.

"MAXIMUM AURA," @Boston_Kings wrote.

Meanwhile, others noted that Brown's post-dunk celebration was reminiscent of The Undertaker's signature taunt in WWE matches.

"THE GRAVE DIGGER!!!" @aa0015f said.

Jaylen Brown scores game-high 28 points as Celtics cruise to victory over Isaiah Stewart's Pistons

Jaylen Brown did most of his damage in the first half against Detroit, scoring 23 of his game-high 28 points. Nevertheless, Boston cruised to a 130-120 home victory.

The Celtics never trailed, leading by as many as 20 points as six of their players recorded 14-plus points. They overcame a combined 77 points from Pistons rising star guard Cade Cunningham and veterans Tobias Harris and Malik Beasley.

Meanwhile, after getting jammed on by Brown, Isaiah Stewart failed to make a notable impact. He finished with just two points and two rebounds in 22 minutes.

Boston's victory marked its second straight and ninth in its last 10 outings. The Celtics (18-4) will look to continue their dominant play on Friday when they host the Milwaukee Bucks (11-10).
