Tom Brady gets physical with WWE’s Logan Paul at Fanatics Fest
The inevitability of Tom Brady getting into a WWE ring for the first time grew Friday during Fanatics Fest as he got physical with Logan Paul.
As seen below, the two were on stage along with Karl Anthony-Towns of the New York Knicks as part of the Fanatics Games when the two began arguing and Brady slapped Paul upside his head, causing a pull apart of sorts.
The two continued on X with Brady calling Paul a “dork” and “I tried America… will try again next time I see this nerd.” Paul responded by posting, “This happened bc I was roasting Tom for beating him in flag football. And he tries to smack me ?? Horrible example for the kids Aura -100 + Blocked. With a torn tricep”.
Paul is currently rehabbing a torn triceps while Brady has never wrestled before and is currently an announcer on Fox and minority owner of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.
The two have been building toward something throughout 2026, centered around the Fanatics-backed flag football league they are both part of. In a podcast interview with Cody Rhodes Thursday, Brady said he wants to get into the WWE mix for at least one match and is just waiting on creative from Nick Khan.
WWE has reportedly been negotiating with Brady for some time, at first believed to be prior to this year’s WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
