Logan Paul feud shows Tom Brady isn't a normal owner
Tom Brady slapped Logan Paul on stage at Fanatics Fest in New York, then the two flipped each other off at the World Cup final — a viral 'feud' that looks like scripted wrestling heat. Brady has teased at least one WWE match, and reports say he is in talks with the promotion.
Key Takeaways
- Brady slapped Logan Paul at Fanatics Fest in NYC after months of social media sparring.
- The pair were later filmed flipping each other off at the World Cup final.
- Brady told Cody Rhodes he wants "at least one" WWE match and prefers playing a heel.
- TMZ reports ongoing talks between Brady and WWE; both Brady and TKO's Ari Emanuel are Raiders minority owners.
What happened between Tom Brady and Logan Paul?
The latest chapter landed at Fanatics Fest in New York City. A day after teasing WWE involvement, the seven-time Super Bowl champion slapped Logan Paul on stage amid jawing that followed weeks of back-and-forth.
Paul posted that Brady smacked him after roasting him for losing in flag football and claimed he would sue. Multiple camera angles made the slap look more pulled than a genuine sucker punch — classic wrestling optics.
Days later, Brady and Paul were caught flipping each other off at the World Cup final. Yahoo Sports framed the drama as a "shoot"-style angle: heat for the cameras, not necessarily real hatred.
Is Tom Brady really joining WWE?
Speaking with WWE star Cody Rhodes at Fanatics Fest, Brady said he has been waiting on WWE president Nick Khan for a storyline. "I feel like I'm retired from football, and I have an opportunity to go out there, still showcase that I'm a little bit of an athlete," he said.
He pointed to former teammate Rob Gronkowski's WWE cameos and Paul himself. "I think I could get in there for at least one match, right? C'mon Nick, c'mon make it happen."
According to TMZ Sports, conversations between Brady and WWE are ongoing. The partnership also makes business sense: Brady is a Las Vegas Raiders minority owner, as is Ari Emanuel, CEO and chair of TKO, which owns WWE.
NFL-to-WWE cameos are not new — Lawrence Taylor, William "The Refrigerator" Perry, and Gronkowski have all done it. What Brady would actually do in the ring remains unclear.
Why does this matter for Brady as a team owner?
Most retired QBs who own a slice of an NFL franchise keep a quieter profile. Brady is doing the opposite: Fox analyst, flag-football face, viral antagonist opposite Logan Paul, and now a possible WWE guest.
Asked whether he would rather be a babyface or a heel, Brady told Rhodes it was an easy choice. "I'm a bad guy," he said. "I've always been a bad guy."
