Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gave a shout-out to recent comments made by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce towards Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval.
After the Chiefs won the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship game by defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 on Sunday, Kelce called Pureval a “jabroni” in response to the mayor’s earlier dig at Chiefs’ star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

This includes the Bengals’ AFC championship victory last year at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, which the Bengals and the Pureval referred to as “Burrowhead.”
