The reaction of the WWE Raw crowd to Patrick Mahomes’ appearance says a lot about the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.
Logan Paul, who brought the Chiefs’ hero with him to WWE Monday Night Raw, was met with an ecstatic response from the audience. Monday Night Raw took place in Kansas City at the T-Mobile Center, which is still on the hunt for a professional sports team to call it home.
Despite this, the WWE event was a sell-out, and fans were treated to a surprise visit from their Super Bowl-winning quarterback. As an athlete sponsored by PRIME, Paul’s beverage brand, he introduced Mahomes to the crowd.
The Chiefs star sported a PRIME chain, similar to the one worn by boxer Devin Haney before his defeat to Ryan Garcia earlier this month. However, Mahomes found himself at the heart of the action when Paul ended up with his three Super Bowl rings.
Paul’s trademark brass knuckles have become a significant part of his matches, even aiding him in becoming the WWE United States Champion. But in Kansas City, Paul used Mahomes’ rings as a new twist on the brass knuckles, which didn’t go as planned.
JD McDonagh was restraining Jey Uso, giving Paul a free shot while wearing Mahomes’ Super Bowl rings . But when he went to hit the wrestler, Uso dodged, resulting in Paul punching the wrong person in a dramatic turn of events.
The crowd was ecstatic, but the loudest cheer of the day came when they spotted Mahomes in the audience. It was a dream day for Kansas City fans, with WWE in town and celebrations already underway following Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s contract extension.
Kelce has now become the highest-paid tight end in the league, surpassing Darren Waller of the New York Giants who earns $17 million per season. Kelce’s new contract with the Chiefs extends through 2027, adding two years and $34.25 million to his existing deal.
Mahomes hinted at his involvement in the negotiations, posting on X: “I told y’all I’ll never let him leave! ! Congrats my guy! ” After their Super Bowl LVIII victory in February, both Kelce and Mahomes expressed their desire to achieve a three-peat, and this new contract shows the Chiefs’ commitment to that goal.
“Had to see a little Super Bowl right there man. Feels good to be in KC. I remember coming here 12 years ago man. It’s an honor and a pleasure and I can’t wait to get after it these next two years,” Kelce said after signing his new deal.
“But no better [time] than right now, getting fired up for this year. Just got out on the field with the boys, we’re back at it baby! Chiefs forever! ” No team in the Super Bowl era has won three championships in a row, and after becoming the first team in 20 years to win consecutive titles, the Chiefs are aiming for a historic third.
