WWE wrestlers are firing back at Tom Brady over his comments about professional wrestling. During an appearance on Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast last week, Brady went viral for scoffing at Logan Paul’s athletic skills compared to those of NFL players.
However, that statement hasn’t gone down well with many WWE stars while social media fans pick sides in the debate. Here’s more to the intriguing story.

During the podcast, Brady and Paul got into an argument over who was more athletic across many sports. In his defense, Brady downplayed Paul’s athleticism, while describing the entire WWE as being “very cute.”He contrasted the combat sport with football, describing it as“real football, real competition.” However, Brady’s comments have faced severe clapback from WWE stars.
During this week’s WWE 2K Creator Fest, multiple WWE superstars, including CM Punk, Paul Heyman, and others, reacted to the NFL legend’s comments.
Heyman took turns to thoroughly downplay Brady’s football feats. Instead, he gives the credits of Brady’s wins to “Gronkowski,” who catches his throws. Heyman’s remarks align with those of other wrestling fans, who reestablished Heyman’s position and reinforced narratives on WWE’s physical demands.
Heyman completed his argument by adding,“Belichick and his girlfriend deserve the credit. But Tom Brady?”
Meanwhile, Paul has returned fire by claiming he could probably beat any NFL player in a fight. The famous YouTuber similarly called football“cute”, while arguing that most NBA and NFL players would fail woefully in a boxing ring when pit against “real boxers.”
After, X user @NFL_DovKleiman shared the development via his account, sports fans dived into the conversation to share their view on the situation.

A notable comment colluded with Brady’s stance,saying:“WWE is scripted. It’s literally one of the worst sports to watch.”
However, another user quicklyretorts in defense of the WWE:“Yeah scripted but not fake.”
A third fanthrows their weight behind Brady,“In Tom’s defence, he also had to take some brutal hits by some nasty DEs like Ndamukong Suh.”
A commenteradds an intriguing twist,“Clearly they setting the stage for Brady to enter the ring 🤣🤣🤣 you can never trust WWE.”
While a last observer summarizes WWE’s reactions thisway,“All these wrestlers getting salty over a comment. That’s cute 😂”
The feud has only gained momentum, especially ahead of a crossover flag football event approaching in March, where both Brady and Paul are set to compete, introducing another layer to the competition between NFL prestige and WWE showmanship.
