AEW star Jeff Jarrett recently shared his thoughts on a celebrity potentially appearing in the Jacksonville-based promotion. According to WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long, the evolution of the pro wrestling business makes it a very good idea.
The celebrity being talked about is Travis Kelce, the NFL star. Kelce is also a big fan of pro wrestling, having made an appearance at WrestleMania 40. Recently, Jeff Jarrett discussed welcoming the NFL star to the AEW ring, which sparked a lot of discussion among All Elite fans.
Speaking on the topic on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine, hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long stated:
"I think it's a great idea you know. Lot of things have been happening now. Lot of those guys have been switching over to pro wrestling. Look at Logan Paul, you know, become a big big star. I think Jelly Roll, you know what I mean. Bigger star than he ever was. So I think this transition is really good for the business. Like I said, times have changed. So you know, I think we just gotta go with the change."
