As reported by Daily Mail Online, WWE has contacted retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce for a possible appearance at WrestleMania 40. This year’s WrestleMania is a two-night event happening right there in Philly at the Eagles’ home stadium, Lincoln Financial Field.
It’s a common move for WWE to bring in famous athletes for WrestleMania, with stars like Rob Gronkowski and Lawrence Taylor making appearances in the past. With such a big event in his hometown, it would be an exciting moment for fans if Kelce decided to step into the ring.
So far, Kelce hasn’t publicly commented on the potential WWE appearance.
The WWE has a history of inviting NFL stars to participate in their events. Here are some of the most notable NFL stars who were invited by WWE in the past:
Lawrence Taylor: This linebacker legend’s most famous WWE stint was his main event match at WrestleMania XI against Bam Bam Bigelow.
Rob Gronkowski: This ex-tight end has made multiple appearances in the WWE, even winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33.
There are a few reasons why WWE has invited NFL stars to participate in Wrestlemania or other events in the past:
-NFL stars bring a new audience to the WWE. Their appearance can generate interest among NFL fans who might not typically watch wrestling. This can lead to increased viewership and ticket sales for WWE.
– When a WrestleMania is held in a city with a strong NFL team, inviting a local star can create a big buzz. It gets the hometown crowd excited.
