Kelce was spotted alongside former Eagles teammate Lane Johnson as the two NFL linemen assisted Mysterio and Andrade in defeating Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio in a tag team grudge match.
The Philadelphia stars emerged ringside sporting matching green Eagles luchador masks, black shirts, and blue jeans, with Kelce finishing his attire with Timberland boots.
Kelce then showed why he was an All-Pro center in the NFL by pushing Dominik Mysterio face-first into the corner ring post before tossing him back onto the canvas.
The help from Kelce and Johnson allowed Rey Mysterio to land his iconic 619 before winning the match.
The two former Super Bowl champions then hopped into the ring, taking off their masks in celebration.
Kelce jumped on the ring ropes and shouted to the crowd before shaking everyone’s hands as the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia went berserk.
NFL fans and WWE viewers reacted similarly and flooded social media with responses to the two Eagles legends’ surprise appearance.
“Jason kelce vaulting straight over the ropes is his true dream come true. You know he’s thinking, ‘f—k yeah Jason, that was cool as hell,'” this fan said.
“Jason Kelce and the WWE is a match made in heaven,” another declared.
“Jason Kelce is enjoying his retirement exactly how you’d expect Jason Kelce to,” a third stated.

“Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson making their WWE debuts as luchadors and frying Dom got me crying haha,” another fan shared.
“Jason’s moving good… might have one more year in him..” this fan suggested.
Kelce played 13 seasons in the NFL, spending his whole career with the Eagles until retiring last month in a heartfelt press conference.
He was voted to the NFL’s All-Pro team six times, the Pro Bowl seven, and won one Super Bowl.
Kelce has grown into a sports media mogul over the years as he and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, have a flourishing YouTube show titled “New Heights” that debuted in September 2022.
The former Pro Bowl center appearance at WrestleMania on Saturday is after WWE superstar The Miz told TMZ that he believes Jason’s at would be “a home run” if he did wrestling.
“He could be very dangerous in a WWE ring – not only with just the athleticism and the part of the wrestling, which I think he can absolutely do.”
