Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen is dominant on the field, but he could one-day trade in his uniform for a pair of wrestling boots.
Later today, the Jaguars will play in their first playoff game since 2017 when they face the Los Angeles Chargers as part of Super Wild Card weekend.
Speaking on KWWN Cofield & Company, AEW President Tony Khan was asked which Jaguars player would make for a good AEW wrestler. He said,
“Josh Allen. He has been to some of the events, he’s a big wrestling fan, I actually introduced Josh Allen to Shaq [Shaquille O’Neal] when Shaq was wrestling in AEW in Jacksonville. There are a number of people on the Jaguars that I think would be great pro wrestlers. We actually had a number of the football players do a promotional shoot for London with the AEW wrestlers because AEW had gotten so popular in England, and we did a promotional shoot for our English TV partner, ITV, and had a lot of players out of Wembley.
“We had a great photoshoot with Trevor Lawrence and Claudio Castagnoli, the twin towers of wrestling and football, and that was cool to see the world of the Jaguars and the Blackpool Combat Club colliding. Like I said, Josh Allen is somebody who has been a fan, Andre Cisco had a great interaction with some of the wrestlers. I think Andre went to the same high school as HOOK. A lot of Jags players would make great wrestlers.”
Allen finished the regular season with 35 tackles, six sacks, and four forced fumbles, and scored the game-winning touchdown in week 18 against the Tennessee Titans.
