The first night of WrestleMania 40 saw a surprising celebrity appearance when Jason Kelce, a veteran of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles, made his debut in the WWE. Kelce spoke about his experience on The Rich Eisen Show, revealing that he had never watched WrestleMania before and had to quickly get up to speed on the event’s significance. He and his teammate Lane Johnson, also an Eagle, were approached to participate in the event and eventually agreed.
Kelce explained that he and Johnson didn’t know much about professional wrestling beforehand, but they did their research and even trained with professional wrestlers. They worked with Danny Cage of the Monster Factory, where they learned basic moves and bumps, and Kelce recalled being surprised by the physical demands of the sport. He also admitted that getting slapped in the chest was more painful than he expected.
Despite their lack of experience, Kelce and Johnson made a memorable impact at WrestleMania 40. Many fans praised their entertaining performance, and some even called for Kelce to return to the WWE in the future. With WrestleMania 41 already on the horizon, it’s possible that Kelce could make another appearance, potentially even participating in the Royal Rumble match or forming a rivalry with a top star.
The idea of Kelce returning to the WWE is certainly an intriguing one. As a popular NFL player, he would bring a fresh perspective and a new level of excitement to the event. While his in-ring skills may not be polished, his enthusiasm and dedication to the experience were clear during his first appearance. Fans would likely be eager to see what he would do next and how he would handle the demands of professional wrestling.
In the meantime, WWE is building towards WrestleMania 41, which promises to be an even bigger and better event than the previous year’s. With a stacked card already taking shape, including potential showdowns between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, as well as CM Punk and Seth Rollins, the stakes are higher than ever. The addition of Kelce to the mix would only add to the excitement, and fans are eagerly awaiting the announcements of what’s to come.
Ultimately, Kelce’s appearance at WrestleMania 40 was a successful one, both in terms of the entertainment value and the surprise factor. While it’s impossible to predict what the future holds, it’s clear that the WWE has found a way to make the event even more special and engaging for fans around the world.
