We can't believe we're saying this, but Tom Brady might be part of the WWE's next big storyline.
While at Fanatics Fest this Friday, a live audience witnessed Brady slap WWE superstar Logan Paul in the face. New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns had to step in and break up this heated altercation. The social media team for the WWE wasted no time sharing footage of this scuffle.
Before this footage was even shared online, Brady hinted at him competing in the ring.
"I feel like since I’m retired from football, I have an opportunity to go out there and still showcase that I’m a little bit of an athlete," Brady told Cody Rhodes. "You know, my boy Gronk has done it. I’ve seen Logan Paul do it. I think I could get in there for at least one match, right?"

The thought of Brady competing in the WWE might sound interesting to NFL fans, but wrestling fans don't want to see him anytime soon.
"Tom Brady seems like he's having a hard time with retirement lol. Is he really gonna have a WWE feud with Logan Paul? Come on," one fan said.
"They been building this feud for a while," a second fan commented. "Brady tag teams with who?"
"I can't imagine being worth a billion dollars and still doing content with someone like Logan Paul," a third fan said.
"Crazy to see how Brady's middle life crisis is in full swing," a third fan wrote.
TB12 and Logan Paul have history.
Prior to the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in March, the seven-time Super Bowl champion took a dig at Paul.
"I’m actually a little worried for you," Brady said. "I love WWE. It’s very cute. But honestly, this is like real football. This is real competition."
Once this exhibition came to an end, Paul fired back with an insult of his own.
"I’d like to apologize to Tom Brady for applying so much pressure on you play after play after play that had you literally fearing for your life. I understand you’re older," Paul said, per Awful Announcing. "It’s not like you could go anywhere and you got frustrated, which is why you threw the ball at me. And I want you to know that I forgive you for that because that’s what real men do."
We'll see if the WWE schedules a showdown between Brady and Paul.
