The San Francisco 49ers made quite the entrance as they kicked off their NFL season on September 9, taking on the New York Jets on Monday Night Football.
In an epic display, the team took the field for warmups to none other than Roman Reigns’ theme music blasting through the stadium.
The 49ers showed that they’re fully acknowledging their “Tribal Chief,” as WWE fans know Reigns by his dominant persona. Fred Warner got the team fired up, and it seems the energy from Reigns’ theme had the Niners ready to take on the night.
Reigns has been a vocal supporter of the 49ers, even correctly predicting their run to the Super Bowl last season. This WWE-NFL crossover isn’t the first, as 49ers tight end George Kittle famously got involved at WrestleMania 39, stepping into the ring to help Pat McAfee against The Miz.
Looks like the 49ers are bringing a little WWE energy to their season opener—acknowledge them!
