San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle got up close to the action before this week’s WWE Monday Night Raw at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN.

During the WWE Main Event taping ahead of the February 10, 2025, episode of Raw on Netflix, Penta defeated Grayson Waller of A-Town Down Under in singles competition. The other match taped for the show saw Zoey Stark defeat Maxxine Dupri via pinfall.

Following Penta’s victory, Kittle—sporting a Penta mask—joined him in the ring. He performed the signature “Cero Miedo” three-fingers-down pose alongside Penta before removing the mask and embracing the rising WWE star.

Kittle is a longtime wrestling fan and has made several WWE appearances, including WrestleMania 39, where he clotheslined The Miz to assist Pat McAfee in securing a victory. He has frequently been spotted in the audience at WWE events and has even expressed interest in pursuing a wrestling career once his NFL days come to an end.

Could George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers one day be called a WWE Superstar? Don’t count out the idea according to the NFL star. During Super Bowl week, Kittle sat down with Yahoo Sports’ Jason Fitz, who asked if he would be at WrestleMania 41. Kittle’s confirmed his role with the two-night event, saying “I’ll be there in Las Vegas. I’m there.”

Kittle was also asked about a potential future in WWE once his days in the NFL are up. The San Francisco 49er didn’t back away from the idea, stating that “Triple H has my number.”

Kittle has never hidden his love for professional wrestling and has often used Penta’s signature Cero Miedo taunt after big plays. At WrestleMania 39, Kittle jumped the barricade to clothesline The Miz during an impromptu match between the two-time WWE Champion and Pat McAfee.
