George Kittle may be in the midst of his NFL offseason, but the San Francisco 49ers star is making headlines for something far outside the football field—his unforgettable appearance at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. Never one to shy away from the spotlight, the tight end brought his trademark energy and charisma to WWE ’s grandest stage, proving once again why he's one of the most entertaining personalities in professional sports.
George Kittle steals the spotlight at WrestleMania 41 with insane 19-second beer chug
The former Iowa Hawkeyes standout was among a sea of celebrities at Allegiant Stadium when the cameras captured a classic Kittle moment: chugging a beer with championship-level enthusiasm. Donning a “Main Event Jey Uso YEET” shirt, Kittle showed off what’s become a bit of a signature move for him. As ESPN’s Pat McAfee tweeted in a now-viral clip, “TAKING A BEER TO THE FACE,” the crowd—and the internet—erupted.
But this wasn’t just a random night out for Kittle. It was a perfect storm of two of his favorite things—WWE and high-energy showmanship. Seated ringside next to legendary music producer Rick Rubin, Kittle soaked in the action, including his pal Jey Uso’s big win over Gunther, also known as "The Ring General," to capture the World Heavyweight Championship . For fans who know Kittle’s deep love for pro wrestling, his attendance wasn’t a surprise—but his beer-chugging finesse stole the show.
While he's been grabbing attention in Las Vegas, Kittle remains focused on a return to peak form when football resumes. Despite the 49ers missing the postseason, his individual performance in 2024 remained elite: 78 receptions, 1,106 yards, and eight touchdowns. His contributions on the field have never been in question, but what’s more exciting is his mindset heading into the new season.
“I just feel like, at any moment, you could kick a window wide open,” Kittle said when discussing the Niners' championship outlook. “That's how I feel. Sure, you need good players on your team, yeah, but you can find good players anywhere.”
With the NFL Draft looming and a long offseason ahead, Kittle and the 49ers have time to regroup and retool. If San Francisco adds the right pieces, the team could be well-positioned for a deep playoff push. Until then, Kittle is keeping fans entertained, whether he’s stiff-arming defenders or chugging beers on the big screen.
George Kittle continues to blur the lines between athlete and entertainer, and it’s clear he’s as comfortable in a wrestling arena as he is on the football field. One thing’s for sure—when Kittle shows up, something unforgettable is bound to happen.
