Amid the massive mainstream attention on the recent engagement of NFL superstar Travis Kelce and music icon Taylor Swift, AEW’s Director of Business Development, Jeff Jarrett, has extended an open invitation for the Kansas City Chiefs player to step into an AEW ring. Speaking with TMZ, Jarrett, who has a personal connection to Swift from her time growing up in Hendersonville, Tennessee, said he believes Kelce has the natural charisma to succeed in the world of professional wrestling. The Jarrett family and Swift family have known each other for years, with Swift even having babysat Jarrett’s children when she was a teenager. This long-standing connection adds a unique layer to the public invitation. Jarrett emphasized that the offer is genuine and that he sees a great deal of potential in the Super Bowl champion.
“I would welcome him in an AEW ring. I think he can make a lot of noise. Him and his brother are showmen at heart. You can tell it’s in their DNA.”
Jarrett’s comments highlight the showmanship that both Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, have displayed throughout their careers. Jason Kelce is no stranger to the wrestling world, having made a memorable appearance at WWE’s WrestleMania 40, where he assisted Rey Mysterio and Andrade in their match. Given the natural athleticism and charisma of the Kelce brothers, a transition to wrestling entertainment is not out of the realm of possibility. Jarrett also mentioned that he remains in contact with Taylor Swift’s father, Scott, and expressed his happiness for the couple’s recent engagement, making it clear that the family connection remains strong.
