Logan Paul Reacts to Tom Brady's Potential WrestleMania 42 Appearance
While it might have seemed their beef ended weeks ago in Los Angeles, WWE‘s Logan Paul recently fired more shots at NFL legend Tom Brady ahead of WrestleMania weekend.
Paul and Brady engaged in back-and-forth verbal taunts weeks ago to promote Brady’s Fanatics Flag Football Classic, which featured former and current NFL players, celebrity athletes, and the US men’s national flag football team competing in a tournament.
The game featured more on-field exchanges between Brady and Paul, resulting in several viral highlights. However, Paul had the last laugh when his team faced Brady’s, winning 34-26.
After it concluded, the two athletes showed each other mutual respect with a postgame handshake and conversation. However, with Paul set to participate in Saturday’s matches for WrestleMania 42, he has returned to trash-talking his former opponent.

TMZ’s “Inside the Ropes” recently spoke with WWE’s “The Maverick” ahead of the big event in Las Vegas, Nevada. They asked him about Brady potentially showing up, something there was speculation about online.
“As far as I’m concerned, he’s washed up,” he told the media outlet, also reminding everyone that Brady “was beaten by a YouTuber slash wrestler in his own sport.”
Paul is set to participate in a six-man tag team match alongside his teammate from The Vision, Austin Theory, and YouTube star iShowSpeed. For the latter, it’s his first official WrestleMania appearance in a match, after previously participating in the Royal Rumble last year.
They’ll face Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso, who are teaming up with LA Knight. The build for that particular match also featured Jey getting into it with rapper and podcast host, Cam’ron, earlier this week.
After Jey attacked Cam on his podcast, the hip-hop star warned The Bloodline and Jey that he plans to see him before he leaves Nevada. This podcast incident and Paul’s comments seem to tease that several individuals could make appearances or run-ins to interfere in this match.
Cam’ron seems the more likely individual to show up at Mania, which already will have hip-hop star Lil Yachty as part of the show alongside wrestler Trick Williams.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see Brady get involved, since he’s no longer playing in the NFL. He’s now working as an analyst and commentator on Fox Sports’ NFL games and is also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, giving him a close tie to the area where Mania is this weekend.
Whatever happens at the event, WWE is known for pulling off big surprises and entertaining spots. Previous celebrities to get involved in Mania have included Cyndi Lauper, “Jersey Shore” star Snooki, and Brady’s former NFL teammate, Rob Gronkowski.
WWE’s WrestleMania 42 occurs Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, on the ESPN app.
