We know for sure that George Kittle is a WWE enthusiast! For one, he has been in the ring with Pat McAfee in the past, competing. Now, he went to see WrestleMania 40 with his dad, specifically for the Women’s WWE championship. The drama unfolded when Bayley got kicked out of her own group Damage CTRL and had to challenge Iyo Sky for the belt.

Not to anyone’s surprise, a couple of NFL personalities, including Kittle accompanied by his father went to the Lincoln financial field to watch the events unravel. Though this was a precursor to the main event, Bayley made sure that the crowd was invested and kept them entertained throughout. The 34-year-old came out with a hard-fought win and the expression on the 49ers TE’s face was priceless.

Recently, Kittle’s Hidden Pearls Podcast shared a post on Instagram. The post was captioned with multiple animated emojis and showed Kittle along with his father cheering for the current WWE champion. The father-son duo looked awestruck for the most part as they watched Bayley take on Iyo Sky.

Kittle was featured on TV, as usual, and the podcast’s IG page didn’t miss the opportunity to post the TE and his father enjoying the ride. He gave a shoutout to Bayley on his IG story, which he captioned, “We love you @itsmebayley.”

But George Kittle and his dad aren’t the only NFL duo that’s actively involved with WrestleMania 40. We recently saw Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson being active in the ring as they helped Rey Mysterio and his squad win against Dominik Mysterio.

New Heights Podcast and WWE re-shared each other’s posts on X as it was captioned, “At least Jason brought jeans for Jason this time” at one instant. The event showed Rey Mysterio dressed in an Eagles-themed uniform as he plummeted his way to win the WrestleMania. As he did, Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson barged into the ring.

Later on, we saw Kelce and Johnson carted off in the Lincoln facility and the former Eagles Center also took a picture with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The Eagles OT and Kelce also took a picture with Dom DiSandro and captioned it, “Good to know the guys had backup just in case,” even though DiSandro seemed to have a broken foot.
