It was only a matter of time before two of the biggest stars in Philadelphia sports made their presence known at Lincoln Financial Field for the biggest sports entertainment event of the year: WrestleMania XL.
During tonight’s tag team match between the team of Rey Mysterio and Andrade versus “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar, Dominik and Escobar appeared to have their opponents on the ropes when Escobar called for Dominik to grab a chair and start beating up his father.
But when Dominik grabbed the chair, he was stopped by two hulking masked luchadors who grabbed the chair from Dominik and slammed him into a post before shoving him back into the ring.
Andrade and Mysterio took advantage of the situation and won the match.
After winning, the two luchadors entered the ring and pulled off their masks, revealing themselves as Eagles legends and Super Bowl champions Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson.

Some fans claimed to have seen it coming while others were simply in awe of the moment:
“As soon as they jumped over and no one stopped them I was hopping it would be Jason,” one user replied.
“All time great moment in Philadelphia history,” another user wrote.
“@JasonKelce post retirement has been the best thing ever😂 Also, the way he jumped in the ring??” wrote a third.
Truly a WrestleMania moment fitting of the city of Philadelphia.
