49ers TE George Kittle always creates headlines in the sports world, whether it’s a football or wrestling championship. People follow him and admire his aura on social media. On a Tuesday Instagram post, George Kittle dropped a nuke in the wrestling world while hinting at the most important things about his NFL career. After ending the 2024 season on being the last contender in the NFC West, the San Francisco 49ers tight end has shared a very important update on his career.

The 49ers No. 85 posted an IG story on Tuesday, where he was having a great time with WWE wrestler and superstar Pénta El Zero M. The text on his IG story goes like “future team tag” writer on the top, and text at the bottom says, “Congrats on the great start!!!” while tagging @penta_zero-miedo and @wwe. Well, now the question arises: Is Kittle looking for a career switch from NFL to pro-wrestling amid his retirement debates?

George Kittle had signed a $75,000,000 deal with the 49ers in 2020 for five years, with $40 million as guaranteed and $18 million as his signing amount. The contract will end in 2025. According to reports, he has no guaranteed money left on the contract and that’s why experts and fans are expecting the 31-year-old might retire.

Well, 31 is not the age to retire. But if you have an interest in doing something crazy in life, Kittle is capable of doing that. He has already given hints of his interest in the wrestling championship and WWE. Well, who knows if he gets into pro wrestling from pro football!

George Kittle’s love for WWE

The 49ers TE George Kittle faced an injury during week 10 game against the Bucs. Moreover, his season wasn’t that great before that. He had a dismal production of 8 touchdowns and 78 receptions. This might hint that it would be difficult for him to get an extension. Kittle shocked everyone in the NFL when he said, “We liked the idea of combining my love for pro wrestling and positive mantras together,” in 2023, highlighting his love for pro wrestling.

Talking about the WWE wrestler and friend Pénta El Zero M, George Kittle said in 2023, “I met Penta in 2018 at WrestleMania New Orleans. I was instantly drawn to his swagger/demeanor, and how he drew love from the crowd. He was an exciting watch. When I met him, I learned that he is an awesome human being, too. Wrestling + fball are pinnacles of sports entertainment.” This explains his face mask during the games, which resembles what Penta wears.

Though it was a surprise that he wanted to get into WWE, it would not be a surprise if he retires from the NFL and starts the Pro wrestling journey.
