Jason Kelce ‘would be welcomed back to WWE’ after surprise WrestleMania appearance in Philadelphia was a big hit with wrestling fans

Jason Kelce reportedly has a new post-football option on the table after his surprise appearance at WrestleMania 40 over the weekend.

Kelce, who called time on his legendary NFL career last month, surprised fans when he and former Philadelphia Eagles teammate Lane Johnson enjoyed roles at WWE’s flagship event on Saturday night.

The pair, wearing Eagles-inspired Mexican wrestling masks, emerged from the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field and ambushed Dom Mysterio to prevent him from using a chair against his father, Rey, in their tag team match with respective partners Santos Escobar and Andrade.

Rey and Andrade were able to secure the win as a result of their interference before Kelce and Johnson celebrated with them in the ring after removing their masks to reveal their identities.

And according to TMZ SportsKelce’s performance was such a hit with fans that WWE executives are ready to welcome him back ‘with open arms’.

Triple H’s organization gave a resounding ‘yes’ when asked if they would be open to further opportunities with the former Eagles center, meaning this may not be the last we see of Kelce in a wrestling ring .

Last month, WWE star The Miz claimed Jason could be ‘very dangerous’ in the sport, while offering to train him himself.

Speaking to TMZ, he said: ‘He could be very dangerous in a WWE ring – not just with the athleticism and the wrestling part, which I think he can absolutely do.

‘I saw him jump up to a Bills game from, like, down and jump up into a window and I was like, “Oh my god, this guy weighs 300 pounds, how did he do that? It’s unbelievable.”

Kelce brought the curtain down on his 13-year stay in Philadelphia at the start of March after announcing his retirement from football, ending one of the most storied careers in Eagles history.

Now, WWE executives are reportedly more than ready to invite Kelce back in the near future

The 36-year-old has several potential new ventures available after his retirement, with the likes of ESPN, Fox and Amazon Prime reportedly vying to sign him on as an analyst for the 2024 NFL season.

Jason and brother Travis have also hinted at a world tour for their New Heights podcast in recent months, while a coaching role in Philadelphia could be an option if he decides to stay in the game.

And after his popular WrestleMania cameo on Saturday, Kelce can add WWE to that list
