The retired Eagles center was flanked by longtime teammate Lane Johnson
ason Kelce appears to be enjoying his first offseason without NFL football. The recently-retired Philadelphia Eagles center maintains his successful “New Heights” podcast with brother Travis, and he made waves on Sunday with an appearance at WrestleMania XL — held, of course, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Kelce‘s WrestleMania cameo during a tag team match surprised many, but the 36-year-old himself would be in for a surprise when he received a special gift from another celebrtiy attendee at the biggest event in wrestling.

Drew delivers a “golden title”
The WWE championship belt is becoming a bit of a fixture with the Kelce brothers. Most recently, Travis sported the belt back in February as his Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their second Super Bowl victory in as many years. It’s the third time this decade that the WWE has commissioned a special belt to a Super Bowl champion, as part of its partnership with the NFL — and in 2022, Travis donned the belt at Jason‘s expense, after the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
But actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore, making her own surprise appearance at WrestleMania, had a special gift for Jason and longtime teammate Lane Johnson backstage at the Linc: the golden championship belt, which Jason was delighted to receive.
Barrymore was among several celebrities on hand in Philly to watch the biggest event in wrestling. Rapper Lil Wayne performed at the event, while Druski, Snoop Dogg, Meek Mill, and San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle were all spotted over the two-day event.
It remains to be seen whether Kelce will become a WWE mainstay or whether this was simply a perfect confluence of events, but it is an interesting possibility now that his NFL days are at an end. He certainly was a popular figure at WrestleMania XL, and his affable nature makes his future in the sport one to watch.
