WWE Talent Push Back on Tom Brady’s ‘Scripted’ Dig Before Fanatics Flag Football Classic

The social-media jabs are doubling as cross-promotion for the celebrity flag football event pitting Brady against WWE’s Logan Paul.

Overview

  • Brady dismissed WWE as “cute and scripted” and said wrestlers wouldn’t get near him in a football setting, comments captured by Sports Illustrated at a Fanatics event.
  • Nikki Bella replied on X with a direct challenge, writing, “I bet I can sack you,” turning his critique into a viral back-and-forth.
  • Other WWE names piled on, with Charlotte Flair mocking Brady’s reliance on protection, Danhausen joking about a ‘curse,’ and Austin Theory tagging Logan Paul to “drop this goof.”
  • The exchange sets the stage for today’s Fanatics Flag Football Classic, where Brady co-captains Team Founders and Paul lines up for Team Wildcats, which features captains Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow.
  • Logan Paul said proposed fights with NFL players were canceled due to WWE leadership’s injury concerns, and separate reports speculate about a possible WrestleMania tie-in that remains unconfirmed.
