You’re not always going to see this much action on the golf course. However, this afternoon at American Century Championship, TE George Kittle and the Miz gave a show to some in attendance.

Kittle and the Miz put on a wrestling bit while on the tee box at the event at Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Nevada. That included a result where Kittle would kick him in the face to win out in the end.

The American Century Championship features a field with several celebrities taking the course. Several athletes across all sports are among that group, including Kittle from the NFL and the Miz from the WWE.

Kittle ‘would love’ to pursue a WWE career after NFL

George Kittle is not thinking about retirement. Entering his age-32 season, Kittle remains one of the best in the league at his position and will be back this fall on a new extension with the San Francisco 49ers.

That being said, Kittle is full of charisma and athleticism, making him a natural fit for a world like professional wrestling and sports entertainment. Kittle also recently revealed, on ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ a few weeks ago, that he “would love” to pursue a career in the WWE whenever he decides to walk away from the NFL.

“I would love to do WWE,” Kittle said. “I think there’s definitely opportunity within that world, and I would love nothing more than to be a part of it.”

Kittle is a massive WWE fan and has attended several events over the years. At WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles, Kittle helped Pat McAfee defeat The Miz in an impromptu match at SoFi Stadium.

Kittle would like to get back into a WWE ring. When he does, he wants to be more prepared.

“My only question mark with that is I so much love being a fan of WWE. I would only do WWE if I bought a ring and practiced my ass off for a while so I wouldn’t look like an idiot out there,” Kittle said. “I’ve been in a WWE ring like three times. I don’t know what I’m doing out there. I have an understanding of how it works, but I haven’t moonsaulted off the top rope at WrestleMania like Pat McAfee did. Like what Logan Paul does.”
