Gridiron Turns WrestleMania: Trey Smith’s NFL Dream Team Is Built for Violence — and the Kelces Are Leading the Smackdown

In a moment that had fans laughing and fantasy-booking dream matches, Kansas City Chiefs offensive guard Trey Smith brought together two of his biggest passions: football and professional wrestling.
During a recent appearance on the New Heights podcast, Smith revealed his ultimate fantasy NFL offense — not just built for touchdowns, but designed to dominate like a WWE tag team.
And leading the charge in this no-holds-barred vision of gridiron-meets-wrestling chaos?
None other than Travis and Jason Kelce.

“They’re my tag team partners, no question,” Smith said with a grin.
“You’ve got Travis — the finesse, the flash, the charisma.
Then you’ve got Jason — the pure strength, the grit, the grinder.
Put them together, and you’ve got a team nobody wants to mess with.”
It wasn’t just a throwaway comment.
Smith went all-in on imagining a fantasy roster where pancake blocks become body slams and blitz pickups look more like chair shots.

The concept instantly lit up social media.
Fans flooded the comments with their own fantasy bookings.
Some even designed custom uniforms that looked like wrestling singlets.
And while Smith was clearly having fun, the message underneath the laughs was serious: football, like wrestling, is about aggression, dominance, and physical storytelling.

“Trey’s not joking,” Jason Kelce laughed.
“We already hit people like we’re in the ring.
We just don’t get entrance music… yet.”
That comment sparked another wave of fan edits — including one where the Kelce brothers walk onto the field to the sound of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s glass shatter.

Smith’s pick of the Kelces as his partners speaks volumes.
He’s a lineman’s lineman — a guy who respects trench warfare.
To him, the most important players on a dream team aren’t just the flashy quarterbacks or elusive receivers.
They’re the ones who fight in the dirt.
And few fight harder than Jason Kelce.
Even Travis, with his tight end finesse and highlight-reel grabs, gets credit from Smith for “being meaner than people think.”

“If you watch how Trav finishes blocks, he’s got that edge,” Smith said.
“He’ll smile after he scores, but don’t let that fool you — he’ll put you on your back if you get in his way.”
It’s a side of Travis that fans don’t always get to see.
And in this WWE-inspired world, it’s front and center.

Of course, no wrestling tag team is complete without a villain.
And Smith’s imagination didn’t stop at offense.
When asked who he’d cast as the “heel” — the antagonist — he didn’t hesitate.
“Give me Aaron Donald,” he said.
“Dude already plays like a supervillain.
He’s got the gloves, the face, the destruction.
Put him in a cape, and it’s over.”
The idea of Donald as a full-blown WWE-style heel drew a round of applause from fans — and even some gentle ribbing from Travis.

“You know you’d be scared if he showed up with pyro,” Kelce joked.
“He wouldn’t even need a finisher.
He’d just stare you down.”
The line between football and wrestling isn’t as far as it seems.
Both require violent choreography.
Both thrive on momentum.
And both create heroes and villains in real time.
Smith’s vision may be wild, but it’s rooted in a truth players know better than anyone: mentality matters.

“You’ve got to bring that energy,” Smith said.
“Every game is a show.
Every down is a fight.
You either play like it’s real, or you get exposed.”
Coming from a man known for his own brutal blocking style, it’s hard to argue.

Trey Smith himself would be a terrifying figure in the WWE ring.
At 6-foot-6 and over 320 pounds, he’s already built like a champion.
He’s quiet off the field, but once the whistle blows, he’s a storm.
In WWE terms, he’s the enforcer — the Batista to Travis’s The Rock, the muscle behind the charisma.

And it’s not just physical.
Smith has the mindset.
His passion for wrestling isn’t surface level.
He’s studied promos.
He knows finishers.
He respects the greats like Triple H, John Cena, and The Undertaker — not just for the theatrics, but for their control of the moment.

It’s the same control he wants on the football field.

That mindset has helped Smith become one of the most consistent, powerful guards in the NFL.
It’s no wonder the Kelce brothers embraced his wrestling comparison so easily.
It fits.
In a league full of stars, Trey Smith is carving out his role not just as a blocker, but as a presence — a character — a force.

And now that he’s crowned the Kelce brothers as his tag team, fans are demanding more.
Calls for a WWE x NFL crossover segment are already trending.
Madden players are building “WrestleBowl” dream teams.
Even NFL players have started chiming in — with some volunteering for the fantasy roster, and others issuing challenges.

One tweet from a fellow lineman read:
“Put me in the ring with the Kelces.
Let’s settle it on the turf or the turnbuckle.”
Whether it’s a podcast bit or the seed of something bigger, one thing is clear:
Trey Smith knows how to bring the show.
And if the Chiefs ever walk onto the field with smoke machines and intro music, don’t be surprised.
The idea’s already out there.

For now, it’s just talk.
But in the world of Trey Smith — and the imagination of fans — this isn’t just football anymore.
This is entertainment warfare.
And it starts with two brothers, a giant lineman, and a dream team ready to suplex the league.a
