In late 2023, a WWE star referred to Taylor Swift as a “6” and issued a challenge to Travis Kelce, yet Kelce has not responded.

During a WWE event in October, wrestler Grayson Waller stirred controversy by commenting, “I’m not the kind of guy that would settle for a six, but to each their own. Me personally, I like a nine or a ten,” sparking backlash. Waller capitalized on the attention by further insulting Swift’s fans and challenging Kelce to a confrontation, suggesting a potential appearance at WrestleMania in Philadelphia.
Despite the buzz, neither Kelce nor Taylor Swift has addressed the challenge. However, with Kelce’s NFL season ending after the Super Bowl, speculation is rife about his potential involvement in WWE.

As speculation mounts, wrestling fans eagerly await whether Kelce will accept Waller’s challenge, potentially marking another crossover between sports and entertainment.
