WrestleMania 40 aka wrestling lovers' "Super Bowl" is set to invade Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles, this weekend. 

And World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins is prepping for the big event by getting a workout in with Eagles' own champion Lane Johnson

The Eagles' official X/Twitter account shared the two training together on Thursday. 

Johnson reposted the clip and wrote, "The Champ is in the Building!

They did some "Arnold Schwarzenegger" front squats and benched-pressed while complementing each other's perfect form and talking shop. 

Johnson, a known pro wrestling fan, is close friends with Jim Ross and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin which dates back to his time at Oklahoma. 

As for Rollins, he's not an Eagles fan and explained to Johnson that he grew up a Chicago Bears fan because of his grandpa, and reminisced on when the Birds "annihilated" them. 

WrestleMania 40 kicks off on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET and one more time on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET. 

You can watch Rollins team up with Cody Rhodes against The Rock and Roman Reigns to determine stipulation for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match.

There are several other fights you won't want to miss and there's a rumored chance that Johnson makes an appearance, along with Jason Kelce, in the ring at some point this weekend.
