Detroit fans just took their love for the Lions to a whole new arena—literally.
During a recent episode of WWE Raw, the crowd erupted in a totally unexpected chant. No, it wasn’t for a wrestler. It wasn’t even for someone in the ring. It was for none other than Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
Wait… What Just Happened?
While a women’s tag team match was going down, cameras caught Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the front row, vibing with the crowd. That alone was cool. But then, almost out of nowhere, the chants started rolling:
“Jared Goff! Jared Goff!”
It wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t short-lived. It was full-blown fan frenzy.
WWE fans know a thing or two about chants, but this one felt different. It wasn’t for a heel turn or a surprise comeback—it was a moment of raw Detroit pride that blended sports, pop culture, and the larger-than-life energy only wrestling crowds can bring.
The Lions Are That Big Now
Let’s be real: this isn’t something that happens for just any football team. The Lions have gone from NFL underdogs to full-on cultural icons in Detroit and beyond. Goff, who’s led the Lions to back-to-back division titles and a 15-2 season, is now getting rock star treatment in completely unrelated sports events.
It’s the kind of crossover buzz that happens when a team isn’t just good—they’re beloved.
Gibbs, Goff & the WWE Universe
Jahmyr Gibbs, ever the cool customer, looked like he was soaking it all in. A smile here, a nod there. You could tell he was feeling the love—not just for himself, but for the team as a whole. The WWE Universe had spoken: the Lions are in.
Whether it was a coordinated fan moment or spontaneous Motor City mania, the chant cemented something we all knew deep down—Detroit football is fun again, and the fans are louder than ever.
So next time you hear a roar from the crowd, don’t assume it’s for a wrestler. It might just be for QB1.
