The WWE reached out to Jason Kelce for his possible participation in the upcoming mega event, the Wrestlemania 40. The event will take place in the Lincoln Financial Field on April 6 and 7. The Kelce brothers have expressed their love for pro wrestling in public many times, with Travis Kelce shouting out references like “Know your role and shut your mouth,” and “You jabroni.”

With the speculations of WWE reaching out to the former center and Kelce’s love for the sport, there’s a huge probability of seeing the elder Kelce brother in Wrestlemania. While the air around this news is still thick with assumptions and opinions, there is a different entity who has for now been welcomed at the Philadelphia Eagles facility from the world of wrestling. It is none other than Finn Bálor, who confirmed the same through a hilarious ‘It’s always sunny in Philadelphia’ reference.

Finn Bálor took to X and posted a photo of himself with caption, “Now where is Paddy’s Pub? #wrestlemania #philadelphia.” He asked, referencing the popular Paddy’s Pub in the show ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘.

People started posting the address of the bar in question as they commented, “228 race St.” But the actual bar where the show was filmed does not actually exist in Philadelphia. Many viewers of the show might have wanted to go to Paddy’s Pub located in South Philly as per the show. Unfortunately, it is located in the City of Los Angeles. It seems the WWE star will have to make a detour to visit the popular ‘Philly’ pub.

The WWE star looked happy in the photo that showed the Eagles logo on the ground. However, his face appeared a bit bruised, maybe because of the intense wrestling training. The post displayed a hyped professional and a quirky question, but there are chances that the Judgement Day member might miss out on Wrestlemania 40 because of his massive facial injury, per rumors. The injury has become a hot topic on the internet; hence, the fans and WWE enthusiasts are a bit worried about him not being able to participate in the mega wrestling event.

The injury was worse a few days ago, with a fully blown knot on Balor’s head. But, looking at his latest post on X, there might be a possibility of him attending the big showdown. Nevertheless, the fans from both the sports dynamics will be curious to find out Balor’s attendance, the possibility of Jason Kelce being there and the chance of two stars meeting each other.

Interestingly, a clip of Jason jumping on a table, trying to mimic wrestling moves went viral. In this clip the younger Kelce could be heard laughing at the hilarious antics. While no news has come forth confirming Jason’s presence at the event, his presence at the event could be super special because this is the second time since 1999, that Wrestlemania (XL) is coming to Philly.

Now, some people are speculating that Kelce will find his next home to be wrestling, just like the Rock, who quit football to pursue his WWE dreams. It also reminds us of the time when George Kittle and Pat McAfee got together to defeat The Miz during an impromptu match. The former Super Bowl center also has a knack for media and broadcasting, so he may very well try his hand at commentary. Nevertheless, the talented Jason has numerous possibilities and roads ahead of him post his retirement. Only time will tell, will path he will eventually take.
