One of the unique things about the Jacksonville Jaguars’ facility, is that they sometimes share it with Tony Khan’s wrestling league known as All Elite Wrestling. That gives the team ample opportunities to meet with legends in the combat sports community, which was once again the case Wednesday.
With boxing legend Mike Tyson set to make a guest appearance for AEW and their mid-week show on TNT entitled “Dynamite,” there was some downtime before Wednesday’s taping for him to meet and talk with Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer. During the episode the two were briefly seen having a discussion in the flex-field at daily’s Place and even got a chance to snap a picture together.

(Warning: Spoiler for the latest episode of AEW “Dynamite” ahead)
Tyson has done business with AEW in the past, making an appearance where he got into a brawl with wrestling legend Chris Jericho. However, the two squashed their beef as Tyson came out to give Jericho a hand against The Pinnacle Wednesday.
Tyson has also attended a Jags game in the past and showed his support on the sidelines. He was at their primetime game in 2019 against the Tennessee Titans. The Jags went on to win that game by a score of 20-7.
