Speaking on the potential deal, Meltzer stated: “From what I have been told, they are in negotiations for Tom Brady. But there\u2019s absolutely not a deal at this point. So it could happen, obviously Logan Paul and Tom Brady are working, everyone knows they\u2019re working the angle. I think people have seen that coming in, but there could be something in some form at WrestleMania.”<\/p>\n

Building the ‘scripted’ storyline<\/p>\n
The groundwork for this crossover has been laid through a series of public jibes between Brady and current WWE star Paul. Tensions flared during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Los Angeles, where the two captained opposing sides. Brady notably dismissed the world of professional wrestling, calling it “cute” and “scripted” during a media appearance, which quickly went viral with more than two million views.<\/p>\n

“You know, all their stuff is so cute and scripted, and they know what\u2019s going on,” Brady said. “In a football game, you don\u2019t know, so they wouldn\u2019t get near me. Plus, if I had a good offensive line, they\u2019ll punch those guys right in the throat and they\u2019d be probably crying.” Paul responded by trolling the 48-year-old with a fake apology video.<\/p>\n
Meltzer suggested the recent trash talk was a calculated move, saying: “What they did in the football game was clearly to build it, all the talk of Tom Brady cutting down pro-wrestlers and all the wrestlers responding, that is all storyline. That is not, ‘Tom Brady\u2019s a d*** and he doesn\u2019t respect pro wrestling.'”<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas connection<\/p>\n
WrestleMania 42 is scheduled to take place on April 18 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, the NFL franchise in which Brady holds a minority ownership stake. This synergy makes it the perfect stage for the Birmingham City stakeholder to make his WWE debut. Further fueling the rumors are reports that WWE has already begun brainstorming potential branding for the legendary quarterback. Speculation from Fightful Select and WrestleVotes indicates that names like ‘The Untouchable Tom Brady’ and ‘T-Bone’ have been discussed internally.<\/p>\n

If Brady does make the jump, he will be following a well-trodden path of NFL superstars entering the wrestling world. His former teammate and close friend Rob Gronkowski has made several appearances, even hosting WrestleMania 36. Meanwhile, San Francisco 49ers standout George Kittle has also been involved in major WWE storylines in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Negotiations for WrestleMania crossover The sporting world is abuzz with the news that Brady is reportedly in talks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":563045,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,104543,277427,19977,2623,1250,15406,481,1231,593,74139,1262,85,1247,135596,277428],"class_list":["post-563044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brady","tag-dave-meltzer","tag-george-kittle","tag-las-vegas","tag-las-vegas-raiders","tag-logan-paul","tag-los-angeles","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-nfl","tag-rob-gronkowski","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-sports","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-wrestlemania","tag-wrestling-observer-radio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563044\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/563045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=563044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=563044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
