Tom Brady Wants to Wrestle in the WWE — Here’s the Scoop!

Who Is Tom Brady?

Tom Brady is a famous football player who is now 48 years old. He played in the NFL (that’s the big American football league) for a very long time. Here are some fun facts about him:

• He won the Super Bowl (the biggest football game of the year) seven times!
• He played for two teams: the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
• Many people think he is the best quarterback (the main thrower) in NFL history.

Now that he has stopped playing football (we say he "retired"), he is looking for a new adventure.

What Did Brady Say About the WWE?

Brady recently sat down to chat with a WWE superstar named Cody Rhodes. (WWE is a company that puts on pretend fighting shows called professional wrestling.) They talked at a fun event called Fanatics Fest in New York City, on a podcast named "What Do You Wanna Talk About?"

Brady said he wants to try wrestling now that he’s done with football. Here is what he said:

"I need to get an invite. I’ve been waiting for [WWE president] Nick Khan to come up with some storyline for me to get in the mix. I feel like I’m retired from football, and I have an opportunity to go out there and still showcase that I’m a little bit of an athlete."

He also said:

"I think I could get in there for at least one match. Come on, Nick. Make it happen."

That means Brady is basically asking the boss of WWE to let him be in a wrestling show!

Why Would Brady Be a Big Deal in Wrestling?

Because Brady is super famous and was an amazing athlete, he would have a lot to live up to in the wrestling world.

Over the last 10 years, lots of celebrities and sports stars have done wrestling matches that surprised everyone with how good they were. For example:

• Actor Stephen Amell had a strong guest appearance.
• Musician Bad Bunny also did a great job.
• Pat McAfee (who used to play for the Indianapolis Colts football team) had a longer run with WWE.
• Social media star Logan Paul has also wrestled a lot for WWE.

Important Point: Brady is not the first football player to try wrestling — and some have even become legends at it!

Has Brady Talked About Wrestling Before?

Yes! This is not the first time Brady made WWE news, but last time it was a little different.

• In February, Brady and Logan Paul argued about whether wrestling takes real athletic skill.
• Brady called WWE "very cute" even though he said he enjoys watching it.
• This made famous wrestlers like CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, and Paul Heyman respond to him.

So some wrestlers playfully clapped back at him before he ever said he wanted to join!

Other Football Players Who Wrestled

Many NFL players have tried wrestling or even made it a full-time career. Here are a few:

• Bill Goldberg: Won the WCW heavyweight championship (a big wrestling title) and played 3 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons football team.
• Roman Reigns: He is the current world heavyweight champion in WWE and was a star football player at Georgia Tech college.
• Lawrence Taylor and Rob Gronkowski: Both made special crossover appearances in WWE.
