Celebrity appearances are a staple of WWE WrestleMania events, and this year was no exception. NFL stars Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson made a surprise appearance during a tag team match featuring Rey Mysterio, Andrade El Idolo, Dominik Mysterio, and Santos Escobar. Kelce and Johnson intervened to prevent Dominik Mysterio from using a chair to secure victory.
According to an update from Fightful Select, Kelce and Johnson underwent training for their WrestleMania cameo at the Monster Factory, a training facility featured in the Apple TV+ series of the same name. The training sessions, led by Danny Cage, were documented, though the extent of the footage and its usage remains unclear. Some footage of Johnson working out with WWE star Seth Rollins was shared online by the Eagles organization earlier in the week.
Kelce, who recently announced his retirement from the NFL, has expressed his passion for wrestling in the past, making it possible for him to remain involved with WWE in some capacity. He has been in the spotlight alongside his brother, Travis Kelce, and Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift as they supported the Kansas City Chiefs during their journey to a Super Bowl victory. Jason Kelce himself is a former Super Bowl champion, having won with the Eagles in 2018.
