Jason Kelce To Join WWE? The Miz Offers To Train Him
The Miz has offered to train Jason Kelce and "turn him into a true superstar" in case he officially joins WWE.
Last Saturday, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center showed up at WrestleMania 40 alongside his former teammate, Lane Johnson, to the surprise of wrestling fans.
While donning masks, the two NFL stars helped Rey Mysterio and Andrade beat Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar in a tag-team match. The crowd cheered after they took off their masks and revealed their identities.

This unexpected appearance of the older Kelce on WWE resulted in conversations with Triple H backstage.
Talking to Triple H, Kelce said, "Those cheers have been great."
Post-match, TMZ asked around to see if Kelce was welcome to join the ring for good. Triple H told the outlet that they were open to more opportunities with the 36-year-old former footballer now that he has retired from the NFL.
Additionally, professional wrestler The Miz was asked about the possibility of Jason transitioning into wrestling.
"I don't know," he said, but then he revealed that he often plays golf with Jason's younger brother, Travis Kelce, and he has already asked him if they (the Kelce siblings) would consider coming to WWE or WrestleMania together.
"With Jason, I've never met him... He just might want to relax and chill out, or he'd like to come to Philadelphia for WrestleMania," The Miz added.
When asked if he would be willing to train Jason if ever, he responded with, "Hell yeah!"
"I'll turn him into a superstar. He is bigger than the superstar that he is in the NFL. We'll make him a bigger superstar in WWE... He could be very dangerous in the WWE ring."
The Miz also lauded Jason's athleticism and charisma.
"Whatever I think Jason Kelce wants to do, whether it is to come to WWE for WrestleMania or do something in podcasting or do something for the NFL, whatever he wants to do, I think the world is his oyster," he said.
There's no confirmation yet if the "New Heights" podcast host has plans to join WWE after his 13-year career in the NFL.
