Mark Henry is giving the green light to a Tom Brady and Logan Paul WWE showdown, and the WWE Hall of Famer sees dollar signs all over it.
Henry told TMZ Sports on Tuesday that a Brady move into WWE would make sense because the seven-time Super Bowl champion already brings attention wherever he goes, has spent his life around locker rooms and is now working in entertainment.
Henry called WWE the world’s biggest multimedia entertainment company and said Brady linking up with it would be a natural fit. He also described a Brady-Paul pairing as a premium idea for the wrestling business.
TMZ Sports reported that Brady has been in talks with WWE. The outlet said the details of any possible plan are not clear, but a match with Paul has become the obvious fantasy booking after the pair’s recent public tension.
Henry points to Gronk’s WWE cameo
Henry also brought up Rob Gronkowski, Brady’s former teammate and longtime friend, as the example sitting right in front of him.
Gronkowski appeared at WrestleMania 33, where he helped Mojo Rawley, real name Dean Muhtadi, pin Jinder Mahal. Henry told TMZ Sports that Brady had a close view of what Gronkowski’s WWE moment did for his profile beyond the United States.
Henry said that appearing at a major wrestling event, with an audience he described as reaching billions, can lift a celebrity’s business and brand around the world.
Brady has already moved further into the entertainment and media orbit since ending his NFL career. Henry’s pitch is that WWE would give him another stage, with Paul positioned as a ready-made opponent.
Brady and Paul’s feud went public
The Brady-Paul idea picked up steam after a weekend clash at a Fanatics event. TMZ Sports reported that Brady slapped Paul on stage, and an X post from BrickCenter showed video of the moment with Karl-Anthony Towns appearing to separate them.
The drama did not stop there. TMZ Sports also pointed to video from the World Cup Final on Sunday that showed Brady giving Paul the middle finger. An X post from the account TB EGO described the pair as beefing at the event.
Paul is already established as an influencer-turned-WWE performer, while Brady remains one of the most recognizable figures in football. TMZ Sports framed the pairing as a major ratings draw if WWE decides to turn the public back-and-forth into an in-ring program.
No final WWE plan involving Brady has been announced in the reporting. For now, Henry is all in on the concept, and his argument is simple: celebrity heat, wrestling spectacle and two famous names with a camera-ready feud.
