Detroit’s RB1 Goes Ringside in Vegas
Jahmyr Gibbs may have spent the NFL season dodging linebackers, but over the weekend, he was locked in on dodging chair shots. The Detroit Lions star running back made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, and let’s just say—he didn’t come to play, he came to slay.
Draped in wrestling gear and rocking chains that would make even The Rock jealous, Gibbs was spotted front and center inside Allegiant Stadium. If you blinked during the broadcast, you might’ve missed him—but the buzz on social media didn’t.
A Returning WrestleMania Veteran?
Turns out, this isn’t Gibbs’ first WWE rodeo. The Pro Bowler also made an appearance at SummerSlam in Detroit back in 2023. Safe to say, the man’s got range: 70-yard touchdown runs in the fall, WrestleMania watch parties in the spring.
Gibbs looked every bit the lifelong fan—soaking in the spectacle, tossing up signs, and probably imagining himself as a high-flying tag team finisher in the making. Honestly, if the Lions ever need a WWE crossover promo, Gibbs might be first on the mic.
One Pride Meets the WWE Universe
There’s something refreshing about seeing NFL stars embrace their off-field passions, and Gibbs at WrestleMania is exactly that vibe. It’s a reminder that this Lions core isn’t just electric on the field—they’re having fun, living large, and connecting with fans beyond the gridiron.
And who knows? With the way Gibbs moves, maybe we’ll see him in a WWE ring someday. If he can stiff-arm safeties, surely he can deliver a solid clothesline.
Until then, he’ll be back to juking defenders this fall. But for one night in Vegas, Jahmyr Gibbs was living the dream ringside—and stealing a little spotlight in the process.
