Eagles legends Jason Kelce & Lane Johnson played a surprise role in Saturday’s WrestleMania 40 event.
WrestleMania 40 is taking place at Lincoln Financial Field this weekend, with night one taking place on Saturday. Filled with fanatics of both Philadelphia sports and pro wrestling, it felt only right that there were a few Eagles references littered throughout the night.
Jason Kelce & Lane Johnson get their WrestleMania moment
Eagles fans in particular were left jubilated after the tag match between Rey Mysterio & Andrade vs Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio. Rey, a legend of pro wrestling, came out donning Eagles-themed attire, but that was only the start of the fun.
As the match neared an end, two huge men wearing Eagles masks stormed into the ring area to help Rey & Andrade, sparking confusion among fans everywhere. After Mysterio sealed the win, the two men revealed themselves to be none other than Philadelphia Eagles legends Jason Kelce & Lane Johnson!
The two dwarfed every other participant in the ring, making you realize just how monstrous they are. Zelina Vega looked tiny in comparison to Lane Johnson, with the two embracing a comedic high-five in celebration.

The pop Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson received was euphoric. A jam-packed Lincoln Financial Field erupted at the sight of the two legendary linemen, who between them have 11 combined Pro Bowls.
Kelce retired earlier this season, but he looked pretty athletic on Saturday night and the love showcased by Eagles fans was obvious. We can all dream, but for now, the two received a WrestleMania moment we will never forget.
