Gronkowski Hints at Surprising Career Shift for Brady Amid Dispute with Logan Paul

Rob Gronkowski, the former NFL standout, has hinted at a potential comeback for his ex-teammate Tom Brady, but not in the way fans might expect.

Gronkowski suggested that Brady, who officially hung up his cleats in 2023, might venture into the wrestling arena following a recent spat with Logan Paul.

The legendary quarterback, who clinched seven Super Bowl titles, found himself in an unexpected clash with Paul earlier this year after he questioned the wrestler’s athletic prowess.

As the excitement builds for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas this weekend, Gronkowski speculated that Brady could be gearing up to enter the ring and demonstrate his own skills to Paul.

“It makes sense because Tom and Logan Paul have been at odds for a couple of months now,” Gronkowski explained, sharing his thoughts exclusively with the Daily Mail in collaboration with DoorDash before the WrestleMania event.

‘I thought they were going to fight at the flag football game, but it just didn’t come to that situation, which is good. We didn’t need any fights on that flag football field.

‘It’s a friendly game, it’s a family game but I thought they would take it out here at WrestleMania, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s here, but I don’t know if he is or not.’  

Brady had dismissed Paul’s athlete chops as ‘cute’ while claiming he lacks the toughness of football players back in February ahead of the Fanatics Flag Football Classic event.

In response, Paul argued that he could beat the majority of NFL athletes in a fight – a statement which has sparked fierce debate – before the pair further ignited their feud after both playing in the flag football showdown in March.

Many questioned how real Paul and Brady’s apparent disdain for one another is, instead rubbishing it as an attempt to generate attention.

One insider previously claimed to the Daily Mail that they were only playing on the feud to promote a potential storyline that could see Brady appear at the WWE’s showpiece WrestleMania event and disrupt Paul’s match on the night.

‘I think he would do great,’ Gronkowski added when asked about how he thinks Brady would fare in the ring. 

‘I don’t think he’d be like a full-time wrestler and actually have a match. I think he would have like a little cameo, kind of like Jelly Roll last night, how he dropped Pat McAfee through the announcing table, which was epic. That was fun.’ 

Polarizing ESPN star McAfee was forced to exit WrestleMania on a stretcher after being sent through a table by singer Jelly Roll on Saturday night.

‘I watched all of WrestleMania yesterday in my hotel room,’ Gronkowski added. ‘It was a blast. I would say a little cameo like that for Tom, where he jumps off top rope and like elbows somebody and like takes their hat and throws it like a football.’ 

When pressed about his friend’s assessment of ‘cute’ wrestling, Gronkowski brushed it off as trash talk, insisting that Brady respects the sport. 

‘Tom is just becoming a professional trash-talker now,’ he said. ‘I’m sure he respects everyone’s craft and he was just going at it with Logan Paul at the moment.

‘But I thought it was great – I thought it was entertaining – them two going at it and Tom talking trash about the WWE and that it’s cute. And Logan Paul going back at Tom, talking about his football career. All of that was fun and games. It was cool and fun to watch a collaboration of Tom going at it with a couple wrestlers and everyone talking garbage back and forth.’

He continued: ‘I respect everything that the WWE wrestlers do, the hard work that goes in. I’m sure Tom does, too. 

‘Like I said, he was just being cute with his comments but I respect everything they do – from their lifting regime to how they’ve got to prepare for the matches in the ring to being able to memorize all of their promotions and going out in the ring and talking all of the garbage in front of millions of fans. I respect everything that they do big time.’ 

Gronkowski, who won four Super Bowls alongside Brady, is set to host Gronk Beach in Las Vegas later on Sunday night. 

The event will serve as the official afterparty of WrestleMania, sponsored by DoorDash. Before the action got underway, the former football player was spotted on the Vegas strip interacting with fans. 

In partnership with the delivery service app and Medium Rare, Gronkowski played a game with fans in front of the Fountains of Bellagio to see what they had in their bag with DoorDash vouchers being awarded as prizes.
