Whether the confrontation was genuine or part of a WWE-style promotional segment remains unclear. Paul later claimed on X that the altercation began after he jokingly teased Brady over a flag football game. “This happened bc I was roasting Tom for beating him in flag football. And he tries to smack me ?? Horrible example for the kids. Aura -100 + Blocked. With a torn tricep,” Paul wrote. The WWE star is currently sidelined with a torn triceps injury suffered during Saturday Night’s Main Event in May and has not yet returned to in-ring competition. The exchange continued online after the event. Brady responded by reposting Paul’s comments on X, writing, “I tried America… will try again next time I see this nerd.” He later shared the viral clip himself with a one-word caption: “Dork.”
Inside The Growing Tom Brady And Logan Paul Feud
The rivalry between Tom Brady and Logan Paul began earlier this year during a Fanatics event in February, when Paul claimed that his WWE career made him just as athletic as NFL players. Brady was unconvinced by the comparison, and the exchange quickly turned into a war of words. Their verbal sparring continued during the draft for the 2026 Fanatics Flag Football Classic, where Brady mocked Paul after the WWE star pointed to his high school football statistics to support his argument.
The tension carried over into the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in March, with Brady and Paul lining up on opposite teams and continuing to trade jabs throughout the event. Brady even trolled Paul during the game by hitting him with a football, keeping their playful rivalry alive. Their latest confrontation at Fanatics Fest has only intensified the storyline, with many now speculating it could eventually play a role in Paul’s WWE return once he recovers from the triceps injury expected to keep him out for several months.
