Red Panda wows Richard Sherman with her triumphant return at Prime’s new studio

Amazon’s sports broadcasting took center stage Thursday night with the Chargers’ win over the Vikings, giving fans a taste of the new NBA coverage studio that will launch Friday. But the real showstopper of the evening was the triumphant return of Red Panda.

The iconic halftime performer, known offstage as Rong Niu, wowed the audience with her signature unicycle act. Balancing on one foot, she expertly flipped a stack of bowls onto her head, showcasing the skills that have made her a fan favorite for years.

The excitement was palpable as Prime Video analysts, including former football stars like Ryan Fitzpatrick and Richard Sherman, as well as NBA legends like Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki, watched in awe. The energy in the studio was contagious, with Fitzpatrick and Sherman even taking a victory lap around the room.

Red Panda’s return was especially meaningful as she had taken time off to recover from a scary fall during a WNBA game in July that left her with a fractured wrist. But true to her commitment to fans, she promised to return—and return she did, just in time for the NBA season kickoff.

Basketball fans can rejoice as Red Panda is back and ready to bring her iconic performance to the courts once again. Her resilience and talent are truly something to be celebrated, making her return a highlight of the night for Prime Video viewers.
