Fans aren’t loving Tom Brady’s transition into the WWE world.
Earlier this year, Brady and Paul started a random beef after the former NFL QB implied that wrestlers are soft compared to NFL players while promoting a flag football event.
“No, you’re not the level. You’re a good athlete but honestly when I’m thinking of Saquon Barkley and I’m thinking of Odell Beckham,”
Over the weekend, Brady escalated his fake beef with Paul by slapping the WWE wrestler at Fanatics Fest.

The beef continued when the two had to be separated while at the World Cup final at Met Life Stadium.

Fans are not loving Brady’s beef with Paul and believe he’s ruining his legacy by jumping into the WWE world.
Even longtime Patriots fan Dave Portnoy does not approve of Brady’s antics.
“This to me is one of the great downfalls of an icon with Tom Brady and the way he is acting post retirement. It’s a legacy that is being lamefied. I use that word people like. What does that mean? It means he’s becoming very lame. And it’s a guy who very few athletes. Michael Jordan, Messi, Beckham, Gretzky, like these are like superstars that seem so above the fray that you don’t want to see him mixed up in, in all sorts of low brow, TikTok flag football leagues in Saudi Arabia or whatever it is. The rest everything about him is cringey right now to me and it’s highlighted with this wrestling stuff.”
