Tom Brady comments on his WrestleMania appearance [via- Bloomberg]
WrestleMania week is almost here. This weekend, WWE will take over the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to present its biggest show of the year. One could expect a rendezvous of celebrities in Sin City, but is there a chance of Tom Brady showing up? Hailed as the greatest NFL quarterback ever, the 47-year-old is also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
On Friday, Tom Terrific was asked by Fox News whether he’d be present at WrestleMania 41. “I may be there,” said the 7-time Super Bowl Champion. The former New England Patriots QB also noted that WWE is doing incredibly well. That being said, Brady has at least given some indication that he might be spending his Easter weekend with WWE.
The Comeback Kid has never been to a WrestleMania. It’d be interesting to see if that changes soon. Brady grabbed headlines last August when he showed up at the NYC Fanatics Fest to Hulk Hogan‘s entrance. It wasn’t the best of choices to walk with Hulk’s music playing in the background.
I may be there. But it’s amazing what’s going on there and it’s amazing what’s happening with WWE and all the different things surrounding that.

The NFL icon even got trolled for mimicking The Hulkster, who’s lost an immense amount of goodwill in the past decade or so. Drew McIntyre called California Cool a mark for his impersonation of Hogan. Outside of Brady hinting at his WrestleMania plans, which could mean nothing in hindsight, a number of WWE/NFL crossovers have happened lately.
49ers tight end George Kittle attended an edition of Monday Night Raw in February, where he got to share the ring with the luchador that inspired his first-down celebration—Penta. Also, at WrestleMania XL, Philadelphia Eagles’ Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson assisted Rey Mysterio and Andrade against Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar.
Seth Rollins looking to replace Tom Brady in his broadcasting role
After capping off an unprecedented 23-year-long NFL career, Tom Brady assumed the role of an analyst for Fox, for which he’s been paid $375 million in a decade-long contract. However, Seth Rollins, a longtime Chicago Bears fan, does intend to upstage Brady. The Visionary told Jimmy Traina of Sports Illustrated that he’d love to kick the NFL great out of his booth one day.
The five-time WWE Champion has long wished to make the move to the NFL com box once his wrestling days are behind him. Getting the opportunity to call the action from that booth, especially the games that the Bears play in, is a dream that continues to drive the Iowa-born wrestler. He might not be the best fit for a play-by-play, admitted Seth, but he’s confident about doing color commentary.
The Architect’s recent appearance on Good Morning Football received widespread acclaim, and one could easily tell he has a knack for it. Next month, the former Shield member will turn 39. Rollins recently disclosed via WFAN podcast that he plans to continue wrestling until 45. Also, despite his NFL aspirations, The Visionary doesn’t see himself leaving WWE at all.
Tom Brady included, who else could be a part of WrestleMania 41?
With Tom Brady potentially pulling up to WrestleMania 41, Kieran Culkin has unfortunately ruled out his attendance at the marquee event. The Oscar-winning actor, however, is looking forward to what’s going to be an epic weekend of pro wrestling.
Culkin has picked CM Punk to come out on top ahead of the Chicagoan’s triple threat showdown against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. DJ Valentino Khan has also announced that he’ll perform at the two-night spectacle. Grammy-nominated artist Travis Scott is reportedly factored into WrestleMania plans as well.
The rapper was last seen accompanying John Cena and The Rock at Elimination Chamber. The unlikely trio launched a vicious assault on Cody Rhodes. The Great One is also rumored to make his comeback at The Grandest Stage of Them All after running absent since orchestrating Cena’s heel turn.
