49ers' George Kittle Wanted to Do a WWE Spot If He Didn't Have Surgery This Year

San Francisco 49ers superstar tight end George Kittle divulged this week that he may have done something with WWE this year if not for the fact that he had to undergo surgery this offseason.

According to ESPN's Marc Raimondi, Kittle noted that he had to undergo core muscle surgery, which prevented him from following up on his WrestleMania 39 involvement from last year.

Kittle, who is a longtime pro wrestling fan, got involved in an impromptu match between The Miz and former NFL punter Pat McAfee at WrestleMania 39. The Miz pushed Kittle, who was siting in the front row, prompting Kittle to jump the barricade and clothesline The Miz.
