A pair of Philadelphia Eagles icons made a surprise appearance at WWE WrestleMania 40 at Lincoln Financial Field.

Rey Mysterio and Andrade needed a bit of help in their match against Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar on the first night of the two-day event. Two mysterious figures wearing jeans, black sleeveless shirts and masks showed up just in time and hurled Dominik Mysterio back in the ring.

After the damage was done, the two newcomers revealed themselves as longtime Eagles offensive linemen Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson. Fans roared in approval.

Kelce has a bit more time on his hands these days, as he officially announced his retirement from the NFL in March. Kelce spent his entire NFL career in Philadelphia, being named to seven Pro Bowls and six All-Pro teams over 13 seasons.

Johnson, the 33-year-old offensive tackle, is set to enter his 12th NFL season with the Eagles this fall.
