Jason Kelce’s cameo at WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia was so impressive that WWE bosses are keen for the retired Eagles center to join his brother Travis in future wrestling events.
The problem is, sources tell DailyMail.com, the Kelces don’t seem interested.
Older brother Kelce, 36, wrestled alongside current Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson, 33, last Saturday.
“The WWE was thrilled to have Jason and Lane be a part of WrestleMania,” an exclusive source initially told DailyMail.com. “The WWE is always on the cutting edge of what’s hot in entertainment and pop culture, and having a Philly legend like Jason within reach to be part of the show was a no-brainer.
“He will be welcomed any time he wants to come back and if he wants to start wrestling, they would consider training him for that opportunity,” the same exclusive source continued. “But everyone, including Jason, knows that will probably never happen and this was a really fun opportunity.”

The wrestling promotion is also keen to add Travis Kelce to its ranks to attract Taylor Swift fans
“The WWE would love nothing more than for Jason and Travis to come and do something in the future, for all the obvious reasons.
“Travis brings the Taylor eyeballs into the situation, and they know it would be on every news channel and live forever online and in WWE lore. The door is 10,000 percent open when Travis wants to enter.
“Originally, the WWE had hoped that both brothers would do it, but since that didn’t happen, they’ll make room for both of them in the future with no questions asked.”
Last month, WWE star The Miz claimed Jason could be ‘very dangerous’ in the sport, even offering to train the former NFL star himself.
Speak with TMZhe said: “He could be very dangerous in a WWE ring – not just with just his athleticism and the wrestling part, which I think he absolutely can do.
Jason, 36, stunned fans when he appeared with Lane Johnson at WrestleMania 40
“I saw him jump down from downstairs and through a window at a Bills game, and I thought, ‘Oh my God, this guy is 300 pounds, how did he do that?’ That’s incredible.”
Kelce brought down the curtain on his 13-year career with the Eagles in early March after announcing his retirement from professional football, ending one of the most storied careers in the history of Philadelphia sports.
The Super Bowl LII champion has several potential new ventures available after his retirement, with the likes of ESPN, Fox and Amazon Prime reportedly vying to recruit 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 with the Eagles has not been ruled out for the elder Kelce, should he decide to stay in the game.
