An update on Tom Brady’s potential WWE debut plans following recent confrontations between he and Logan Paul.
Earlier this year, Tom Brady’s comments calling WWE ‘cute’ on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast took the wrestling world by storm, with many believing that it would lead to a potential match between the two.
Ahead of WrestleMania 42, it was reported that WWE had been creating merchandise and were in negotiations with Tom Brady, though he wouldn’t end up appearing on the show.
Tom Brady Addresses Potential WWE Debut
However, talks of Brady potentially appearing in WWE ramped up once again this week, starting with his appearance on Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, where he was asked about a potential WWE debut.
To which he said:
“I need to get an invite, I’ve been waiting for Nick Khan to come up with some storyline for me to get in the mix.
“I feel like, I’m retired from football, I have an opportunity to go out there, still showcase I’m a little bit of an athlete.
“My boy Gronk’s done it, I’ve seen Logan Paul do it, I think I could get in there for at least one match, right? Come on Nick, make it happen.”
