49ers TE George Kittle danced with The New Day on WWE SmackDown

WWE SmackDown Live came to San Francisco’s new home of the Warriors on Tuesday night, and WWE superfan George Kittle made the most of a 49ers team outing to the Chase Center.

Kittle and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo sat directly behind the announce table, where Kittle became the latest NFL star to show off his chugging prowess.

San Francisco’s Garrett Celek, Dante Pettis and Trent Taylor were also ringside. After The New Day won a tag match during the show, WWE star Big E ran out of the ring, hopped the barricade and hugged Kittle. Xavier Woods joined in, and the trio broke into a signature New Day hip swivel.

Kittle, who wore a fantastic vintage The Rock t-shirt, showed off his mic skills backstage in an interview with an impression of The People’s Champion.

Kittle got a shoutout from The Great One on Twitter after the 49ers beat the Steelers to improve to 3-0.
