On Monday night, members of the Kansas City Chiefs were both babyfaces and heels.
The Super Bowl’s Most Valuable Player Patrick Mahomes was in the thick of the action at WWE’s Monday Night Raw in Kansas City where he helped out his buddy, Logan Paul.
Brass Knuckle Super Bowl Rings
Fans could likely sense something was up when Mahomes strolled into T-Mobile Center with Paul and members of the Judgement Day. Clearly, judgment was coming… but for whom?
From NFL.com, “Mahomes, who was bookended by Chiefs center Creed Humphrey and guard Trey Smith, bestowed social media megastar and WWE United States champion Logan Paul with all three of his Super Bowl rings to use as some very expensive brass knucks against fan favorite Jey Uso, but the plan went awry in vintage pro wrestling form.”
NFL’s Mahomes got a shout out from Paul later in the night. Not long after that, Paul teamed up with heels Balor and McDonagh to beat up Uso. Paul went outside the ring to meet Mahomes, who gave his three Super Bowl rings to Paul.
When Paul went to punch Uso he ducked his head and ended up hitting McDonagh instead.
Right after that Braun Strowman came out to help Uso and then found Mahomes in the front row. As Strowman confronted Mahomes, Smith and Humphrey stood up to have their quarterback’s back. No physicality came from the confrontation, thankfully for millions of Chiefs fans!
A Touching Story Amidst the Wrestling Chaos
Though Mahomes and the use of his rings got a lot of attention, there was also a very real and uplifting moment involving Smith and Humphrey.
“Amid the tragedy of the shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade came the story of Smith and other Chiefs players helping to keep people calm and sheltered,” NFL.com reported. “One such tale of heroism involved Smith giving his WWE Chiefs championship belt to a young boy to help him through the ordeal, assuring him he would be OK.”
“The young boy was Joey Borgonzi, son of Chiefs assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi,” it was noted. “On Monday, Borgonzi was in the center of the ring in Kansas City, drawing hearty cheers with a Chiefs belt draped over him before his old pal Smith and Humphrey hoisted him onto their shoulders for an ever louder ovation.”
While Mahomes’ Super Bowl rings were used for bad intentions on Monday, the good guys won as far as the Chiefs overall were concerned.
