SUMMARY
- Day 1 of WrestleMania took place on April 6.
- Jason Kelce made a surprising appearance at WrestleMania 40.
Jason Kelce, the most speculated figure in the United States, made a surprising appearance at WrestleMania 40 and stunned the fans. Kelce wasn’t the only NFL player present; along with him, his former teammate Lane Johnson also appeared.
Kelce always remains in the headlines due to his activities off the pitch. During Kelce’s mad shirtless celebration after his brother Travis scored a touchdown against the Bills in the divisional round, the former center became a hot topic of discussion.
Kelce began his professional football career with the Eagles, where he was the 6th-round, 191st pick in the 2011 draft. The 36-year-old was regarded as an indispensable troop for the Eagles. The former center spent his entire career with the Eagles and led them to Super Bowl LII glory. Kelce made 193 appearances for the franchise and performed seven fumble recoveries.

Besides being the Super Bowl champion, he made First-team All-Pro appearances six times and seven Pro Bowl appearances. Johnson has been committed to the Eagles since 2013 when he was the first-round fourth pick in the 2013 draft. The offensive tackle also played a crucial role in the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII triumph with Kelce.
In the Eagles’ jersey, Johnson made 143 appearances. The 33-year-old and Kelce have shared a great bond since their early days with the franchise. Even after Kelce’s retirement last month, their relationship remains the same, and their appearance in WrestleMania is proof of that.
