George Kittle Steps into the WWE Ring for a Dream Moment
A Childhood Dream Come True
San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle has always been a passionate WWE fan, and on Monday, he finally lived out a childhood fantasy. Kittle stepped into a WWE ring alongside his favorite luchador, Penta, for a special moment on Main Event, thrilling both wrestling and football fans alike.
Kittle’s Growing WWE Connection
This wasn’t Kittle’s first brush with the WWE Universe. Over the years, he has been spotted in the crowd at major events, participated in backstage interviews, and even made a memorable impact at WrestleMania 39 when he delivered a devastating clothesline to The Miz. With each appearance, Kittle has inched closer to the world of professional wrestling, leaving many to wonder—could a full-time WWE career be in his future?
A Future in the Ring?
While Kittle remains one of the NFL’s most dominant tight ends, his love for wrestling is undeniable. In a recent interview with Yahoo Sports’ Jason Fitz, Kittle revealed that if he were to step into the ring full-time, he already has his finishing moves planned.
“If it was allowed, I would want to use the Stone Cold Stunner as much as I could. That and the RKO are my favorites,” Kittle said via Fightful. “A little sprinkle of Sweet Chin Music. I’m a big fan of the Frog Splash. That could be fun.”
With such a carefully curated moveset filled with legendary finishers, it seems like Kittle has put serious thought into a potential wrestling career. His physicality, charisma, and love for the business make him a natural fit for the squared circle.
Kittle and Penta: An Unexpected Friendship
One of the most exciting aspects of Kittle’s WWE involvement has been his friendship with lucha libre star Penta. The two first met at WrestleCon in New Orleans years ago when Kittle, already a huge fan, approached Penta after one of his matches.
“He is my best friend now,” Penta said on Insight with Chris Van Vliet via Fightful. “I love him. He loves me, I think. I met him in New Orleans years ago at WrestleCon. I had like five matches and he came to my locker room after the match. ‘Hey Penta, I’m a player in the NFL.’ I had never seen NFL. He gave me a jersey, I traded with the mask. After that, he became my friend. He texts me. When the NFL went to Mexico, he brought me with him. I hope he can be with me in WWE.”
This genuine bond between the two has fueled speculation about Kittle’s potential future in wrestling. If Penta has his way, Kittle might one day share more than just a brief moment in the ring with him—perhaps even teaming up or facing off in a WWE match.
Will Kittle Ever Wrestle Full-Time?
For now, Kittle’s focus remains on the NFL, but his passion for wrestling is impossible to ignore. His general manager, John Lynch, was reportedly unhappy about his physical involvement at WrestleMania 39, making it unlikely that Kittle will wrestle while still under contract with the 49ers.
However, once his football career eventually winds down, WWE could have a future superstar waiting in the wings. With his love for the sport, his connection to major wrestling figures, and his natural athleticism, Kittle could make a seamless transition to the ring.
Fans will have to wait and see, but one thing is certain—George Kittle’s love for professional wrestling isn’t going anywhere, and neither is the dream of seeing him compete in WWE one day.
