The climactic finish to Super Bowl LVIII that saw the Kansas City Chiefs emerge supreme once again has had the wrestling world talking.
At the end of the fourth quarter, the Chiefs were tied 19-19 with the San Fransisco 49ers. In overtime, it looked like the 49ers were going to win. That was until the last second when the Chiefs scored, earning them the lead and their latest Super Bowl championship.
The Wrestling World Reacts
On Twitter, Baron Corbin shared his delight that the Chiefs are now back-to-back champions. The Lone Wolf, who had been backing the Chiefs from the start, couldn’t celebrate two loudly as his children were sleeping.
Holy shit!!! Back to Back Champions!!!!!! @Chiefs pic.twitter.com/LbvU4Trww7

Naomi attended the game with Mercedes Mone and Bayley and the three had been backing the 49ers. Safe to say, the Glow was not pleased with the result.

WWE and TNA Wrestling Hall of Famer Bully Ray joked that the result was illegitimate with some wrestling terminology.
ITS A WORK!!!

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Nyla Rose didn’t watch the game live but felt it would’ve been better had it taken place in the legendary Tokyo Dome used for NJPW Wrestle Kingdom.
The Super Bowl was good I hear, would have been better if it were at the Tokyo Dome tho

Rose would also use an image of Travis Kelce at the game to tease Mercedes Mone’s expected arrival in AEW. The Boss will reportedly debut at the upcoming Big Business event in her hometown of Boston next month.
It’s called @AEW BIG BUSINESS! And it’s in Boston on March 13! But they spelled it “BOSSTON” and I’m pretty sure one of the “S’s” was a dollar sign and that’s not even remotely close to how you spell Boston. Anyway it’s gonna be at @tdgarden stadium which is a really nice venue!… pic.twitter.com/j5qO3Nk8rs

Music icon Taylor Swift was at the big game, rooting for her boyfriend Travis Kelce of the Chiefs. In a tweet, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus drew comparisons between herself and the Shake It Off star.

Usher performed at the Big Game’s half time show, in a performance that left Chelsea Green deceased.

Corey Graves also had his own unique reaction to the Super Bowl half-time show.
Guys, right now, your lady is having a moment.
Let her have it. There is nothing we can do to compete with Usher. Just accept it.#SuperBowl
