The recent NFL retiree showed off his wrestling skills when he and former teammate Lane Johnson jumped the ropes at the event in Philadelphia

Jason Kelce can now add “wrestler” to his ever-growing résumé.

On Saturday, April 6, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles player made a surprise appearance during Rey Mysterio and Andrade’s WrestleMania 40 match against Dominik Mysterio — Rey’s son — and Santos Escobar.

During the lively match, Rey and Andrade got some help from two mysterious masked luchadores, who jumped the ropes to join in the fight.

“Who the hell… look at the size of these guys!” one commentator said during the WWE broadcast.

“Those look like legends to me!” another answered.

 

One of the men ripped a metal folding chair out of Dominik’s hands, while the other masked man slammed him into the corner of the ring from the outside, and then tossed him into the center the ring. This lined up the perfect finish for Rey, who threw himself on top of Escobar to clinch the win.

After the announcer declared Rey and Andrade the winners, the two masked men revealed their identities — Kelce, 36, and 33-year old Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson.

WrestleMania 40 attendees could be seen going wild for Kelce and Johnson, especially because the two-night event is taking place at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, home of the Eagles.

Kelce — who was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft — recently announced his retirement during an emotional press conference on March 4.

“So this all brings us here to today, where I announce that I am retiring,” Kelce said through tears, nearly 40 minutes into his lengthy speech. “Where I announce I am retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and today, I must admit, I am officially overrated, vastly overrated.”

Kelce thanked his coaches, teammates and “cafeteria workers” along the way — too numerous to name, he said — in addition to his wife Kylie, mother Donna, father Ed and brother Travis.

The Eagles alum is widely considered to be among the greatest centers in NFL history. He was selected to seven Pro Bowls, was named first-team All-Pro six times and won one Super Bowl title throughout his accomplished 13-season football career.

Since his retirement, Kelce has been having some fun with his free time. He recently threw out the first pitch at a Philadelphia Phillies game against the Atlanta Braves, and PEOPLE reported on March 27 that ESPN was even recruiting the athlete to become a talking head on the Monday Night Football panel.

The Athletic was first to report ESPN’s interest in Kelce. NBC, CBS and Amazon Prime are also trying to land Kelce, per the outlet.

Kylie Kelce is in the house for this evening’s Women’s Final Four matchups, with the former Philadelphia Eagles WAG seen taking her seat ahead of NC State’s showdown with South Carolina.

Kelce, the wife of recently-retired NFL star Jason, has made the trip to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in her husband’s home city of Cleveland, where they own a property together, to take in the action on Friday night.

Footage on social media shows her walking into the arena prior to the first game of the evening, which sees NC State take on South Carolina for a place in the NCAA Championship game.

After watching the Wolfpack lock horns with the Gamecocks, Kylie will then get to watch college-basketball superstar Caitlin Clark and her Iowa team face UConn.

Clark, the all-time leading NCAA points scorer, produced an incredible 41-point haul to help Iowa get past LSU on Monday night.

She may have her work cut out in tonight’s battle with UConn, nevertheless, as the Huskies also boast a superstar of their own in Paige Bueckers.

Regardless, Kelce is certain to witness a great spectacle as the two college titans square off for a place in the Championship finale.

Kylie has been thrust even further into the spotlight over the past six months amid her brother-in-law Travis’ whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift.

As the sister-in-law of the most famous celebrity couple on the planet right now, Jason’s long-time wife has seen her own fame and popularity soar as Travis and Taylor’s relationship goes from strength to strength.

In a recent interview, Kylie described the couple’s romance as ‘amazing’ while insisting her and Jason are always happy as long as Travis is.

Appearing on the TODAY show on Monday, she said of the relationship that has infatuated America: ‘Ultimately, if Trav is happy we’re happy.

‘We are always cheering on Uncle Trav, it’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field, but it’s been amazing.’

Travis Kelce and pop superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift were both named among the nominees for this year´s Webby Awards, recognizing the best internet content and creators.

The International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences announced the nominees on Tuesday, the result of 13,000 entries from over 70 countries, according to The Associated Press.

The Kansas City Chiefs star got a nomination in the best sports podcast category for teaming up with his brother Jason for their New Heights podcast.

Travis and his legendary Philadelphia Eagles center brother are also nominated in the Best Co-Hosts category.

Meanwhile, Swift shared an Instagram message encouraging her 283 million followers to register to vote was nominated in the best creator or influencer category. The website she directed her fans to – the nonpartisan Vote.org – recorded more than 35,000 registrations, according to the organization.

Travis’s girlfriend Taylor Swift was also nominated in the best creator or influencer category

The NFL’s power couple aren’t the only famous couple with Michelle Obama getting a nod for her ‘The Light Podcast,’ while her husband, former President Barack Obama, was nominated for his work with LinkedIn.

The awards are selected by the Academy, while The Webby People´s Voice Award is voted on by fans around the world.

Voting for that award is open now until April 18. Winners for all awards will be announced May 13 at a ceremony hosted by “Late Night with Seth Meyers” writer and comedian Amber Ruffin.

Last November, the Kelces’ New Heights show was crowned Spotify’s No. 1 sports podcast in the world for 2023.

New Heights was also the top sports podcast in America and the top American football podcast in the US, per Spotify.

The show’s meteoric rise continued last month when the popular NFL duo scooped Podcast of the Year at the iHeart Radio Awards. It beat out the likes of My Favorite Murder and SmartLess to win Podcast of the Year.

Neither brother was in attendance at the ceremony in Austin, Texas, but they did record a video message for the audience, in which Travis joked: ‘Get the f*** outta here… people actually listen to this?’

Jason then went on to thank Taylor Swift’s fans for voting for them to win – amid his brother Travis’ high profile relationship with the pop superstar.

Jason and Travis Kelce are truly one of the most iconic duos in the history of the National Football League.

And their fame has skyrocketed this past year thanks to Travis’ relationship with a certain star. So because of that, there are a ton of new fans who tune in on Wednesday’s for the latest episode of their New Heights podcast.

The two always have fun during every episode, talking about everything from football to real life, and making jokes along the way. They also bring in some pretty impressive guest stars, from Saquon Barkley to Arnold Schwarzenegger. But what has become most apparent is Jason and Travis’ love for one another.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end took a moment to talk about his bond with Jason after New Heights was nominated for a Webby, which are “the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet.”

“I think everybody’s kind of shocked on how it’s taken off the way it has. But we just started off by wanting to showcase our brotherhood and our similarities knowing that we’re really two different walks of life,” Travis explained during an exclusive interview with the Hollywood Reporter. “But when you get us around each other, you can see why we’re brothers, and you see how much love, and how much appreciation we have for each other for getting to where we are in our lives. And we wanted to showcase that.”

The two have always been each other’s biggest supporters, rooting for each other at every turn. The only time that might not have been the case is when the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chiefs faced off in the Super Bowl.

But regardless, they always aim to show the unfiltered versions of themselves. And it’s safe to say they accomplished that.

“We wanted to give people a firsthand look at what it’s like to be at the lunch table or at the dinner table with Jason and Travis Kelce,” the younger Kelce brother said. “And I think it’s just been so cool to see how everybody’s appreciated that, let alone the Super Bowl that we had, and being able to showcase our family and that aspect. I think it’s just been just an unbelievable amount of support that I can’t be more thankful for.

Jason’s presence during the Chiefs Super Bowl was one that will never be forgotten. After the Eagles lost in the first round, Jason made sure to travel and catch all of Travis’ games.

He is most remembered for taking his shirt off at Highmark Stadium during Kansas City’s win over the Buffalo Bills, and then showed up in Chiefs overalls at the Super Bowl. Plus all of his antics at the after party were priceless.

The love the two have for one another is special and shows why their podcast is so successful.

In October, Kelce debuted at No. 1 in the U.S. and has held its spot in the Top 5 since it premiered on Sept. 12, according to Deadline.

On an episode of their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Jason and Travis, 34, joked that the documentary’s success was in part thanks to Travis’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and their then-budding romance.

At the time, Swift, 34, had just begun making appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games to cheer for Travis.

“By the way, the number one documentary of all time [on Amazon Prime] — did you see that, how crazy is that?,” Jason said on the podcast in October. “All because of you and me, doesn’t have anything to do with this Taylor Swift drama,” poking fun at his family’s newfound attention from the singer’s fans.

“Everybody is just so interested in the family dynamic,” Travis said of the film’s success on the October podcast episode.

Travis continued, “I thought that was pretty cool man. That’s fun to hang your hat on that. For those of you who don’t know, it’s the most-watched documentary ever on Amazon Prime Video.”

Among the major storylines in Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles star opened up about grappling with retirement and the subsequent emotions of hanging up his cleats.

He also spoke candidly about his concerns as a father to three young daughters — Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 12 months.

“I am fearful about what the impacts of playing football are going to mean long-term,” he shared in an emotional scene with retired Eagles player Connor Barwin in Kelce. “I have two girls and … some people end up getting CTE and some guys live long, healthy lives. I have no idea what’s gonna happen.”

The 45th Annual Sports Emmy Awards ceremony, will be held May 21 at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City.

Jason Kelce gets an unexpected gift after making a surprise appearance at WrestleMania.

Posted April 10, 2024 by t0510

The retired Eagles center was flanked by longtime teammate Lane Johnson

ason Kelce appears to be enjoying his first offseason without NFL football. The recently-retired Philadelphia Eagles center maintains his successful “New Heights” podcast with brother Travis, and he made waves on Sunday with an appearance at WrestleMania XL — held, of course, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Kelce‘s WrestleMania cameo during a tag team match surprised many, but the 36-year-old himself would be in for a surprise when he received a special gift from another celebrtiy attendee at the biggest event in wrestling.

Jason Kelce surprised by Drew Barrymore’s gift after WrestleMania appearanceInstagram

Drew delivers a “golden title”

The WWE championship belt is becoming a bit of a fixture with the Kelce brothers. Most recently, Travis sported the belt back in February as his Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their second Super Bowl victory in as many years. It’s the third time this decade that the WWE has commissioned a special belt to a Super Bowl champion, as part of its partnership with the NFL — and in 2022, Travis donned the belt at Jason‘s expense, after the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

But actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore, making her own surprise appearance at WrestleMania, had a special gift for Jason and longtime teammate Lane Johnson backstage at the Linc: the golden championship belt, which Jason was delighted to receive.

Barrymore was among several celebrities on hand in Philly to watch the biggest event in wrestling. Rapper Lil Wayne performed at the event, while Druski, Snoop Dogg, Meek Mill, and San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle were all spotted over the two-day event.

It remains to be seen whether Kelce will become a WWE mainstay or whether this was simply a perfect confluence of events, but it is an interesting possibility now that his NFL days are at an end. He certainly was a popular figure at WrestleMania XL, and his affable nature makes his future in the sport one to watch.

Jason and Travis Kelce also share a laugh over their shared tendency to break down in tears on the latest episode of ‘New Heights.’

Jason Kelce’s iconic Mummer moment could have gone very differently. The now-retired Philadelphia Eagles center is opening up about how his rousing Super Bowl LII victory parade speech came to be on Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights podcast.

Speaking with Philadelphia native and lifelong Eagles fan Lil Dicky (a.k.a. Dave Burd), Jason addressed the moment he stole the show in a full Mummer costume after his team won the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2018.

“Honestly, the joy that I got watching that speech,” Burd gushed, “it was so much joy.”

The Dave star marveled at “the length of the joy,” with Jason’s brother and podcast co-host, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, teasing that “there’s no way he remembered half that speech.”

“I still don’t know how I remembered everything, to be honest with you, especially drinking all the way through,” Jason admitted.

“Were you very drunk?” Burd asked.

Jason pondered the question, saying, “I feel like I was possessed at some point that day.”

Travis chimed in, “You can see it in his eyes. When you’re around him enough, you can see it in his eyes, like, ‘That guy’s gone.’”

Jason also poked fun at his own slip of the tongue, laughing over saying “fourth and down” instead of the correct football term “fourth down” during his speech.

At the time, the 36-year-old noted, his turn in the spotlight was not a given. He had hoped to be able to speak during the celebration, approaching his team’s public relationships department a few days ahead of time to ask for permission.

“I’m like, ‘Hey, are we gonna get a chance to talk?’ And I wasn’t at that time one of the focal guys on the team,” he recalled.

Burd echoed the sentiment, noting that “it was surprising” as a fan to see Jason behind the mic.

“I don’t know that I would have gotten that if I wouldn’t have went up and asked,” Jason said.

“I would be awake until 3, 4 a.m., not sleeping, going in my head, like, different narratives,” he recalled. “First of all, myself getting to the Super Bowl and winning it, and how crazy that was. And then how many things you overcome, and then you start thinking about everything your teammates did.”

After a few sleepless nights, Jason said he began to draw parallels between the team and the city of Philadelphia.

“How they had been so close multiple times to winning the Super bowl and had to overcome so much to get there,” he said. “I think that’s why I remembered it, because it was so vividly entrenched of my own story combined with my teammates’ combined with the city.”

Burd hailed the moment as “perfect” and admitted that it may have been the first time — but definitely not the last — that Jason brought him to tears.

“I don’t know that any man has made me cry in the last five years more than you,” he joked. “That speech, your documentary, your retirement speech. Off the top of my head! There’s probably more that I’m not thinking of.”

The rapper added that he also cried “instantly” when Jason and Travis both became emotional on their podcast.

“I can’t help it,” Travis said of his own tendency to break down in tears.

“Have you seen more men cry publicly than us two?” Jason added with a big laugh.

“We’re the only f**king guys out here crying,” Travis added.

Jason — a Super Bowl champion, six-time All Pro honoree, seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and future Hall of Famer — openly wept as he announced his retirement from the NFL in a press conference last month. Travis was also seen wiping tears from his eyes during the speech, and broke down in sobs on their New Heights podcast the next day.

The brothers’ emotional displays have been praised by fans on social media, with one viral post on X (formerly known as Twitter) declaring, “Whatever Ed [Kelce] and Donna [Kelce] did to help their sons become emotionally available needs to be studied.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Burd referenced the NFL stars’ rapid rise in profile over the last year amid Travis’ high profile relationship with Taylor Swift.

After Jason acknowledged that their audience includes a number of Swifties, Burd asked how they were handling their newfound fame.

While Jason said that his life “has not changed that much,” Travis gushed that he’s having the time of his life.

“I’m having a blast in life, baby,” he said. “Just flying high. Enjoying it all. Bringing new lives to the football world. Opening the football world up to new things, as well.”

Much like Swifties everywhere, Kylie Kelce celebrated Sunday’s surprising news that Taylor Swift will release her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on April 19.

Moments after Swift, 34, dropped the album bombshell at the 2024 Grammy Awards while accepting the prize for Best Pop Vocal Album for “Midnights,” Kylie — who is married to longtime Eagles center Jason Kelce and is the sister-in-law of the pop megastar’s boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — double-tapped an Instagram post from Barstool Sports “Chicks in the Office” page that commemorated the reveal.

Sunday was quite the night for Swift, who not only sent the internet into a tailspin over the album announcement, but made Grammys history by becoming the first artist to win Album of the Year four times, picking up her fourth prize in the category for her 2022 album “Midnights.”

“I would love to tell you that this is the best moment of my life, but I feel this happy when I finish a song, or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love, or when I’m shot listing a music video, or when I’m rehearsing with my dancers, or my band or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show,” Swift said during her acceptance speech.

“All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much, it makes me so happy.”

Swift is now gearing up for a wild week ahead, in which she’ll resume the international leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour in Tokyo.
