Macaulay Culkin and his younger brother Rory aren’t often spotted together, but that was exactly the case Monday when they attended WWE Raw.

The acting brothers — best known for their childhood roles in Home Alone and Signs, respectively — had a moment in front of Netflix’s cameras for the Madison Square Garden event. Well, mostly it was Macaulay. The “My Girl” star held a WWE championship belt in front of his face at first, then stood up to reveal himself. He appeared to use sign language to say, “I love you, NYC,” to the camera.

Meanwhile, Rory, who appeared in the anthology series Black Mirror in 2023, was quieter. He broke into a smile as his brother began playing to the cameras, as wrestlers are known to do. But he looked annoyed, as any brother would be, when Macaulay patted him on the head.

Netflix christened the appearance of two Culkins at once, “CULKINMANIA.”

The family members have long been fans of the WWE. A snapshot of Macaulay at Wrestlemania 1991 circulated the internet following his latest appearance. He would have been elementary-school age in the earlier photo.

It should be noted that Kieran Culkin, their brother who last month won the best supporting actor Oscar for his work in A Real Pain, attended the same show in January.

This season is the show’s first at the streamer, its new home after parting ways with USA at the end of 2024.

At the same time, Macaulay appears in an uncredited role in an episode this season of Netflix’s freshman comedy Running Point. The comedy, which is lead by Kate Hudson playing Isla Gordon, the new owner of a professional basketball franchise, costars the actor’s wife, Brenda Song. The veteran actress of shows such as The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Scandal, as well as movies including The Social Network and The Last Showgirl, plays Ali Lee, Gordon’s close friend and chief-of-staff.

No word yet on how long it’ll take for the Culkins to be cast on a WWE-inspired comedy for Netflix.
