The 'HBK' line of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel carried the Pittsburgh Penguins in the playoffs during their Stanley Cup run, and it also helped the team gain a new fan in the form of the 'Heartbreak Kid,' Shawn Michaels.
After they helped the Penguins win the Cup last summer, all three members confirmed they would be getting matching belts to commemorate what their line had accomplished.
From that moment, a bond between the Penguins and the WWE had been formed, and on Friday night in Pittsburgh, the WWE once again showed up to support the Pens as Raw Women's Champion Sasha Banks hung out with the 'HBK' line ahead of their game against the Kings.
Banks, who's in town, along with a lot of other WWE superstars, defends her championship Sunday night at Roadblock: End of the Line against Charlotte in a 30 minute iron man match.
Not only did Banks hang out with the 'HBK' line, but she also attended the Pens and Kings game which just so happened to be her first hockey game.
At the game, Banks was presented with a cheque for $7500 from the Penguins for Connors Cure.
With Banks showing up to support the Penguins, it would only be fair for Kessel and the crew to return the favour Sunday night.
