Buffalo Bills' Pro Bowl left tackle Dion Dawkins knows how to put on a show and is more than comfortable on the mic.

The big man with a big personality isn't afraid to show what he's all about, and Dawkins did just that last night.

Making an appearance in Toronto at the WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 alongside superstars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and John Cena, showed off his custom-made Bills championship belt.

Dawkins seemed as pumped up as for any NFL game, prompting the shoutout from commentator Pat McAfee, "He's an electrifying individual who would fit in very well at the WWE."

Based on Dawkins own social media post during the event, he agrees.

While his contract most certainly prohibits diving off the top rope while he's a Bill, at 6'5", 330 lbs, it's not a stretch to think that the highly athletic Dawkins could make a move to professional wrestling after his NFL career is over.

Buffalo fans, and no doubt the quarterback he protects, MVP Josh Allen, just hope that his WWE world championship comes after an NFL world championship for the Bills.
