Several netizens commented on the post asking why Alapag took a photo alone, playing along to the “you can’t see me” gimmick of the wrestler-turned-Hollywood box office attraction.
Alapag is in Atlanta, traveling with the Sacramento Kings as a player development coach.
As part of the NBA’s Halloween matchups, the Hawks will be facing a visiting Kings team at State Farm Arena on Saturday, Manila time.

It was also in Atlanta when the WWE had its last Premium Live Event, “Bad Blood.” Although, Cena wasn’t on that event’s card as he didn’t make any appearances.
The WWE veteran is currently on his farewell tour where he’ll be going to several events and PLEs before finally putting down his wrestling boots for good.
Meanwhile, Alapag will be helping Sacramento improve from a 2-2 card over the Hawks, who have a 2-3 record.
