George Kittle, Pat McAfee Take Down The Miz in Wild Moment at ‘WrestleMania 39’

49ers tight end George Kittle made a surprise appearance at WWE's WrestleMania 39, teaming up with former Colts punter Pat McAfee against The Miz.

McAfee, who was making an impromptu appearance of his own, challenged the event’s host to an official match, during which Kittle got involved. 

After Kittle was seen chirping at The Miz during his match with McAfee, the tight end proceeded to jump the barrier and wildly clothesline the two-time WWE MVP.  

McAfee then climbed to the top rope of the ring and dove head first at The Miz, before jumping up and celebrating with Kittle. 

WWE fans were treated to the surprise McAfee appearance, and Kittle's moment in the ring was the cherry on top of what was an epic night at WrestleMania 39

Kittle could have a future career in wrestling when he decides to walk away from football. The 49ers star was electric during his brief appearance on Saturday, teaming up seamlessly with McAfee. The former punter was equally committed, putting his body on the line with his stunt off the top rope. 

So-Fi Stadium was absolutely packed for WrestleMania 39, with over 80,000 fans in attendance. Kittle and McAfee's performance was one of the highlights of the night, as the impromptu tag-team had fans going wild.
