The American Century Celebrity Golf Championship concluded its final round on Sunday, featuring plenty of excitement. A notable moment happened in group 28, which included San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, and WWE star “Mrs.” During their tee box conversation, Kittle and Miz exchanged some playful words that led to a lighthearted altercation. Kittle then performed a Shawn Michaels’ signature finishing move, the “Sweet Chin Music,” on Miz.
Kittle is well-known for his passion for wrestling and even played a role in Pat McCuffy’s win over Miz at WrestleMania 39. Recently, Kittle signed a four-year, $76.4 million extension, making him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history. He has expressed interest in joining WWE, noting on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast that he sees an opportunity there and is eager to be part of that world.
Judging by his impressive execution of the finishing move in golf attire, Kittle looks like he could become a star in the wrestling ring as well.
Fan Take: This crossover between NFL and WWE highlights the diverse talents and interests of players like George Kittle, making them more relatable to fans. For NFL supporters, it’s exciting to see a player with such charisma and passion, which could pave the way for new entertainment opportunities blending sports and wrestling.
