The recent boom in professional wrestling has brought a lot of new eyes to the WWE. Many mainstream celebrities have even started openly talking about the product. Now, George Kittle has always been a huge fan of WWE, but he even takes this fandom to another level by directly participating in the product one day.
During the Super Bowl week, George Kittle sat down with Yahoo Sports NFL contributor Jason Fitz. He was asked if he would be at WrestleMania 41. Without any hesitation, the NFL superstar said that he would be present in Las Vegas during the weekend for the Showcase of the Immortals.
Things got even more interesting when he was asked what he planned to do after his NFL days were over. Kittle then hinted at potentially stepping into the squared circle, saying that Triple H had his number and knew how to contact him.

Kittle is not one to shy away from his love for professional wrestling. He even throws up Penta’s “Cero Miedo” hand gestures after making a big play. Kittle was also spotted wearing Jey Uso merchandise just a few months ago. Furthermore, he made an appearance at WrestleMania 39, where he clotheslined The Miz during his match with Pat McAfee.
Penta says he wants to see George Kittle in WWE one day
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Penta revealed that he was great friends with George Kittle. They had a lot of mutual affection and respect for each other. The first time they met was at a WrestleCon event in New Orleans years ago. The 31-year-old had visited the luchador in his locker room.
Kittle introduced himself as a player in the NFL. Penta revealed that he had never even seen the sport at that point in his life. Regardless, he traded him a mask for his jersey. The two eventually ended up staying in touch via text, even after that. When the NFL went to Mexico, the 49ers player took the Raw superstar with him. Thus, the Mexican hoped that his friend could also be in the WWE with him one day.
When the NFL went to Mexico, he brought me with him. I hope he can be with me in WWE.

Kittle would surely love to watch Penta’s stellar performances in the ring if he ever became a part of the promotion. The 39-year-old has already blown away the WWE Universe with his incredible performances during his debut match against Chad Gable and following bouts against the likes of Pete Dunne and Ludwig Kaiser.
