The Miz says he could train Jason Kelce into a superstar.
WWE is heading to Philadelphia for WrestleMania 40, and fans have speculated about former Philadelphia Eagles great Jason Kelce and/or his brother Travis Kelce appearing at the show in some capacity. Seth Rollins previously invited the duo to come to the event. Jason recently retired from the NFL, and his future seems open.
Speaking with TMZ Sports, The Miz was asked about the rumors that the Kelce brothers could get involved with wrestling.
“The way I look at is [as] more of a fan of the Kelces. I’ve played golf with Travis, and what an incredible human being. Even when we were golfing, I was like, ‘When are you coming to WWE? When are you coming to WrestleMania? Jason, I’ve never met him, but those are Cleveland guys, and that guy, he’s played for Philadelphia, it seems like a home run to me. But who knows? He’s retired. He might just want to relax and chill out. Or he’d like to come to Philadelphia for WrestleMania," The Miz said.
The Miz was then asked whether he would be willing to train Jason Kelce. He expressed that he would be open to it, and he said that he could turn him into a big superstar. The Miz highlighted Jason's athletic ability and his skills as an entertainer. He noted that he thought the world was Jason's oyster.
"Hell yeah. I’d train him into a superstar. As big of a superstar as he is in the NFL, we’ll make him as big of a superstar in WWE. He could be very dangerous in a WWE ring. Not only with just the athleticism and the wrestling, which I think he could absolutely do. I’ve watched him jump up at a Bila game from down, and jump up into a window. I was like, ‘Oh my god, this guy’s 300 pounds. How did he do that? That’s incredible.’ Then the athleticism you see on the football field, but then the charisma [too], the ability to talk on a microphone and be captivating and innovative is something that I think he just has a knack for. So whatever I think Jason Kelce wants to do, whether it is to come to WWE for WrestleMania, wink, or do something in podcasting, which he already is, or if he wants to just do something in the NFL, coaching, whatever he wants to do, I think the world’s his oyster," The Miz said.
