William Byron’s Daytona 500 celebration took a detour on the way to the Empire State Building this month as he drove through WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” first. Byron was seen driving the No. 24 car into the Spectrum Center in Charlotte. He popped out of the vehicle along with WWE star A.J. Styles. Byron was then spotted on the broadcast with a WWE championship strapped onto his shoulder. He told Fox News Digital it was the first time he’s been to a show. “It was something that I definitely wanted to do,” he said. “I thought it was really cool. So, it was neat. I never have been to ‘Monday Night Raw’ before. But I really enjoyed it. It was pretty fun.” Byron said he was a fan of pro wrestling growing up and has a newfound respect for the sport after getting to see it up close for the first time.
“I think it’s extremely nice. When I was younger, I saw a lot of wrestlers, including The Undertaker,” he remarked. Therefore, I believe it’s very cool. When I had the opportunity to experience it in person, I undoubtedly developed a greater respect for it. It was actually rather thrilling. This month, Byron won the Daytona 500 for the second time in a row. In the days prior to the green flag being dropped, he became a brand spokesperson for CELSIUS. “It’s a pretty natural fit for me, just working out pretty often and training for the races, and Celsius encourages all of us to live fit,” he stated. Because I use the product frequently, I believe that this collaboration is incredibly vital to me.
