Jeff Jarrett Wants Taylor Swift's Boyfriend, NFL Star Travis Kelce in AEW
Could one of the NFL’s biggest stars eventually trade touchdowns for turnbuckles? According to AEW executive and wrestling legend Jeff Jarrett, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has an open door waiting for him in All Elite Wrestling.
Jarrett Extends the Offer
Speaking with TMZ Sports on August 30, 2025, Jarrett — AEW’s Director of Business Development — made it clear that Kelce would be more than welcome once his football career winds down.
“I think he can make a lot of noise,” Jarrett said, stressing that his interest wasn’t about a one-off publicity stunt. Instead, he believes Kelce has the charisma and athleticism to thrive in professional wrestling. Jarrett even joked about creating a signature spot for him inside AEW rings.
Travis Kelce: A Natural Performer?
At 35, Kelce is still in peak form on the field. He’s a ten-time Pro Bowler, three-time Super Bowl champion, and was named Athlete of the Year in 2024. But off the field, Kelce’s personality has made him a cultural crossover star.
Whether on the Chiefs’ sideline, on the wildly popular “New Heights” podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, or in the global spotlight thanks to his relationship with Taylor Swift, Kelce has proven he thrives under pressure and loves to perform.
That natural flair has pro wrestling executives like Jarrett seeing potential beyond football.
Jarrett’s Swift Connection
Jarrett’s comments also carried a personal touch. He has longstanding ties to the Swift family — Taylor Swift babysat his daughters while growing up in Tennessee. Jarrett maintains contact with Swift and her father, making the connection between AEW and Kelce’s inner circle even more intriguing.
With Jarrett’s eye for business and Kelce’s larger-than-life presence, the pieces are in place for a crossover moment — if Kelce ever decides to hang up his cleats.

Celebrity crossovers in wrestling are nothing new, but the buzz around Travis Kelce feels different. His athletic credentials are legitimate, his charisma is proven, and with AEW searching for ways to expand mainstream appeal, Jarrett’s invitation is shrewd.
AEW has already used stars like Shaquille O’Neal and Mike Tyson for marquee moments. Kelce — paired with his brother Jason or even tied into his Taylor Swift connection could generate mainstream attention that few athletes can match.
Will he accept the call one day? That’s up to Kelce. But Jarrett knows how to spot box office potential, and in Kelce, we may see the biggest crossover star since Ronda Rousey stepped into WWE.
