Former WWE star AJ Francis told Fox News Digital he could see Jason or Travis Kelce doing a one-off thing but wouldn't do it for the long haul.
A.J. Francis is one of a handful of former football players who transitioned to pro wrestling and are currently at the top of their game in the sport. Francis played in nine NFL games for the Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins before training to become a pro wrestler and eventually earning a shot with WWE. He had two stints with WWE before being released and landing with Major League Wrestling and Total Nonstop Action .
As a former WWE competitor, Francis knows the company brings out big names for the event. Lawrence Taylor, Rob Gronkowski and George Kittle are among them. Current WWE star The Miz floated the possibility of Jason Kelce doing something in WWE, possibly even taking part in WrestleMania 40 in some way, being that it is at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. He told TMZ Sports that Kelce would be 'dangerous in a WWE ring.
’m not home 20 days in a month as a wrestler,' he said. 'I leave Thursday, I got a show Friday, I got a show Saturday, I got a show Sunday and if I’m lucky, I get to go home Monday. It’s just a completely different lifestyle 'The lifestyle of being a full-time professional wrestler — you got to love this s--- man. People don’t be lovin’ it. They don’t love it. I love it. Yeah, Kelce could have a match at WrestleMania this year. I’m 100% positive that he could.
For Francis, he’s set to take on Alex Kane at Major League Wrestling’s War Chamber on Friday in Tampa, Florida. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
