Could Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift Now Be Coming To WWE For WrestleMania

In late 2023, WWE star Grayson Waller called Swift a “6″ and challenged Kelce to a fight, Kelce has yet to respond

Waller sparked a considerable amount of online outrage with this quote: “I’m not the kind of guy that would settle for a six, but to each their own. Me personally, I like a nine or a ten,” said Waller. That statement caused considerable backlash. But Waller, in classic pro wrestling fashion laid into the controversy and went on X to insult Swift’s fans and challenge Kelce to a fight. The Going Ringside podcast covered this in depth last year.

“I’ve heard Travis Kelce is a wrestling fan, right? So hey, we’re in Philly. Maybe next year, lad, Why don’t you come and get in the ring and defend her honor? He seems like a good guy. Why don’t you come and say something to me about it, lad?” was Waller’s challenge, implying WWE’s marquis event WrestleMania which is in Philadelphia this year.

Now that the Super Bowl and the NFL season is over, wrestling fans will watch whether Kelce, who’s reportedly a fan of wrestling will take Waller up on the challenge.

But Kelce has said as recently as this week he’s a huge pro wrestling fan. “I go powerbombed through my living room floor as a kid and we broke the living room floor then we just slid the couch over it so that our parents wouldn’t know,” Kelce said at the Super Bowl media availability. Kelce was also recently spotted sporting a replica WWE belt.

In fact, “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson who will also be on the card at WrestleMania also spoke about Kelce in an interview this past week.

Swift has a link to the pro wrestling world. Before her ascent to music superstardom, she used to babysit for wrestling legend Jeff Jarrett in Tennessee.

Also, WWE star Seth Rollins has invited Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to WrestleMania 40.

Rollins spoke to Sports Illustrated, where he said that he wanted to invite both George Kittle and Travis Kelce to WrestleMania. While Kelce outperformed Kittle on the night, both men can enjoy at The Show of Shows.

Rollins also told Kelce to bring Taylor Swift along with all the Swifties.

“I would extend an invitation to both George and Travis. Look, we’re in Philly; his brother [Jason Kelce] is there. We can have both of the Kelces there, why not? Let’s have a party. Bring your girl. Bring all the Swifties, man. Let’s go. I love everybody. Let’s party. George, he’s coming to WrestleMania anyway. He was at WrestleMania last year.

AEW Star Jeff Jarrett Calls Taylor Swift A Family Friend Who’d Play Piano At His Home

There’s been quite a bit of overlap between the music and pro wrestling industries over the years, but fans of pro wrestling were pleasantly surprised to hear about Jeff Jarrett’s friendship with musician Taylor Swift recently. 

The veteran star has now talked about how his family and Swift became friends during his recent appearance on “TalkSport.”

“She’s from Hendersonville – a friend of the family,” said “Double J.” “There was a recent tweet that resurfaced and people were like, ‘Is that photoshopped,’ and I’m like, ‘Who’s going to go out of their way to photoshop Taylor in my house playing the piano?'”

Jarrett said Swift was his neighbor and that the celebrated musician used to babysit his daughters. He also revealed that his daughters even appeared in the music video of Swift’s song, “Mine.” The song, which was released in 2010, featured Jarrett’s three daughters as well as one of Kurt Angle’s daughters.

A recent social media post that did the rounds showed Swift playing the piano surrounded by the AEW star’s daughters. Jarrett has previously discussed his friendship with Swift, with the musician playing her entire first album to his family, which brought Jarrett’s late wife, Jill, to tears. Jill, who was then battling cancer, sadly passed away in 2007.

“Taylor played her first album to us. Jill cried her a*s out, and the girls knew every word to every song,” recalled Jarrett. “It was from god. For Taylor to step in here, a friend of a friend who I’d never met, and to this day Taylor keeps in touch with my girls.”

Swift is one of the biggest musicians of her generation, but Jarrett — who has a musician gimmick — uses his guitar in other ways, to bash his opponents in the head on AEW television, over 30 years after debuting the character in pro wrestling.
