Jason Kelce reportedly has a new post-football option on the table following his surprise appearance at WrestleMania 40 this weekend.
Kelce, who called time on his storied NFL career last month, wowed fans when he and former Philadelphia Eagles teammate Lane Johnson played cameo 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 taking off their masks to reveal their identities.

And according to TMZ SportsKelce’s performance was such a hit with fans that WWE bosses 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 might not be the last we see Kelce in a wrestling ring.
Last month, WWE star The Miz claimed Jason could be ‘very dangerous’ in the sport, even offering to train him himself.
Speaking to TMZ, he said: “He could be very dangerous in a WWE ring – not just with his athleticism and the wrestling side of things, which I think he absolutely can do.
“I saw him jump down from downstairs and through a window at a Bills game, and I thought, ‘Oh my God, this guy weighs 300 pounds, how did he do that? That’s unbelievable.’
Kelce called time on his 13-year stint in Philadelphia in early March after announcing his retirement from football, ending one of the most storied careers in Eagles history.
Now, WWE bosses are reportedly more than willing to invite Kelce back in the near future

The 36-year-old has several potential new ventures at his disposal post-retirement, with the likes of ESPN, Fox and Amazon Prime reportedly vying to sign him 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
