The Miz Next WWE Celebrity Opponent Revealed?

WWE

San Fransisco 49ers Tight End George Kittle has teased the possibility of an in-ring WWE return, targeting The Miz.

Kittle is a lifelong WWE fan and even helped Pat McAfee take on The Miz in an impromptu match at WrestleMania 39 earlier this year.

He appeared at ringside during WWE Raw on October 2, which brought comment from Wade Barrett, who said:

“Nice to see a tight end who doesn’t need to date Taylor Swift to put himself on the map.”

Barrett was, of course, referring to Travis Kelce, Tight End for the Kansas City Chiefs who is reportedly dating the popstar.

In a ‘WWE Digital Exclusive’ that can be seen below, Kittle spoke about his experience on the show and love of WWE in general, saying:

“Oh, the show was fabulous. I gotta say, my guy Drew McIntyre beating up The Miz is a highlight of my night, probably a highlight of October already. The Miz deserved it.

“The whole stadium just chanting ‘Shut up, Miz’ just gets your blood going, I will say that.

Asked about where this chant rates in the top chants from fans this year, he went on to say:

“I mean, The Miz has two top ones, “Shut up, Miz” and “Tiny Balls”, so those are two of my favorites, I’m not gonna lie.”

Kittle would be asked which player from the NFL would make a WWE superstar – he would remove himself and suggest Micah Parsons and Trent Williams as potential superstars.

Asked whether he would likely pop up in the ring “down the road”, he would conclude:

“I would love to have an opportunity to get back in the ring.

“It was exhilarating, one of the most fun experiences of my life, especially being at WrestleMania. 

“Would love an opportunity to go toe-to-toe with The Miz. 

“He’s a guy who talks plenty of trash to me, I talk it right back. He got scared right between me and Drew.

“So, I pick up Drew, Pat McAfee as a wonderful tag team partner. Maybe a trios.

“Let Miz pick his partners because when I have those two with me, we’ll win everything.”

As for Kittle’s favorite wrestling moves, he would name the Stunner and RKO.
