Saturday night’s 2023 WWE WrestleMania 39 got a surprise cameo from a NFL star.
Former punter and sports media personality Pat McAfee hopped in the ring to battle in one of the night’s matches and tag teamed with San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle to win a tussle against WWE staple Mike “The Miz” Mizanin.
Kittle is a big WWE fan, and he got to live out his fandom on wrestling’s biggest stage with another outrageous NFL personality in McAfee.
As far as Kittle’s wrestling reception went, the crowd really seemed to be into Kittle’s inclusion in the night’s fighting.

Could Kittle transition into a wrestling career once his NFL playing days are over?
Well, we’re guessing he’ll want to win a ring with the 49ers before he permanently jumps into the ring as a wrestler, so San Francisco fans shouldn’t be too worried about losing their Pro Bowl tight end anytime soon.
However, additional Wrestlemania appearances for Kittle could definitely be a possibility.
