Veteran pro wrestler Kevin Matthews (KM) will be appearing on NBC’s Saturday Night Live later tonight.
Matthews will appear in a pre-taped segment, according to PWInsider, where he serves as a stunt double for NFL player Travis Kelce of the NFL Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Matthews tweeted a photo seen below, and plugged tonight’s SNL appearance, writing, “Check out SNL tonight. I think you can figure out who I stunt doubled.”
Matthews co-owns top indie promotion WrestlePro, and regularly puts on wrestling shows in Alaska and New Jersey.

He then took a dark match loss to Sylvan Grenier at the August 23, 2005 RAW taping, and that appears to be all of his WWE main roster matches.
Matthews signed with Impact Wrestling in March 2017, and worked there until the spring of 2019. He has worked for numerous indie companies since then, and made his AEW debut at the September 29, 2021 Elevation tapings, losing to Sonny Kiss.
