Jahmyr Gibbs wants to start doing WWE-themed touchdown celebrations, here are 5 we’d love to see the Lions running back do
Please do this stuff, Jahmyr.
The Detroit Lions love their touchdown celebrations. Sometimes it feels like part of the reason they score so much is so that they can do some fun new celebrations.
Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has gone viral for a few of his. On Wednesday, he was on the St. Brown Bros podcast talking about celebrations with the Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and his brother Equanimeous St. Brown. Since Gibbs is a big WWE fan, he said he wants to do the Jeff Hardy dance after a touchdown.
Since we’re equally big WWE fans, we have five more WWE-themed celebrations we’d love to see Gibbs do. Here’s what we got.
John Cena’s Five Knuckle Shuffle
He’s going to need someone else to help him with this one. It’s got to be St. Brown, right? But could you imagine Gibbs bending over to do the “You Can’t See Me” gesture, and then Ford Field chants “you can’t see me” and then he bounces off the fake ropes, it’s the Harlem Shuffle and drops the fist? Man, we’re talking about a SportsCenter moment there.
Randy Orton’s RKO
How has nobody been hit with an RKO in the NFL yet? The way I see it is that this needs to be done is that Gibbs gets into the end zone and does his celebration, and then St. Brown, or someone else, sneaks up behind him while on camera and then hits them with it. It should look just like the above video. Be careful, though. Nobody wants to be the guy who injured his teammate with an RKO.
Jey Uso’s Yeet
Imagine Gibbs getting into the end zone and then climbing up onto the Lions’ leap zone, and then he starts throwing his arms up and down while Ford Field plays Uso’s theme song, and the crowd joins in. That’s a goosebumps moment if you ask me.
Roman Reigns’ Superman Punch and Bloodlines celly
They’re all requiring that another guy help Gibbs out, but on this one, Gibbs can get in the end zone and then cock the fist up and hit St. Brown and then throw up the one and let the crowd acknowledge their tribal chief. I don’t know why I’m signing up St. Brown to take all these moves, but it just works, right?
Ric Flair’s strut
Pretty simple stuff here. Gibbs scores and then struts like the 16-time world champion and ends it with a “Woo!”
