Joe Budden had a front-row seat to the chaos at WWE Raw on Monday night in Brooklyn, and he was loving every minute of it.

The podcast host and veteran rapper took to Instagram Stories to share his excitement during a wild post-match brawl between WWE Superstars Sheamus and Rusev inside the Barclays Center. Budden captured the moment the action spilled outside the ring, and his raw, unfiltered reaction quickly started making the rounds online.

In the clip, Budden can be heard shouting, "What the fuck is going on?" as Sheamus and Rusev were being pulled apart by referees and officials following their match. But when Rusev suddenly broke free and charged toward Sheamus for another round, Budden erupted.

"Oh, he's not done, let's go Rusev!" he yelled, clearly fired up by the unexpected chaos.

He captioned the video, "My first time this is awesome lol."

Budden was one of the many high-profile guests who were invited to Monday Night Raw. Some of the others seen sitting ringside were Method Man, Dave East, Da'Vinchi, Havoc, and musical-director-to-the-stars Adam Blackstone.

WWE has been pulling out all the stops with the celebrity appearances at some of their biggest events. For SummerSlam 2025, the professional wrestling company enlisted Cardi B to host Night 1, where she opened the show and teased a new track many believe will be on her upcoming album, Am I The Drama?

In addition to Bardi, Jelly Roll made an appearance and actually got in the ring in a tag team match with Randy Orton against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. Jelly Roll held his own in the ring and took one of the craziest bumps of the night. At the halfway point of the match, Paul did a body splash onto Jelly Roll on one of the announcer tables that sent the crowd at MetLife Stadium into a frenzy.
