Tom Brady Just Pulled a WWE Move—And Cody Rhodes Loved It
Tom Brady might’ve hung up his cleats, but the guy’s still out here stealing shows.
At Fanatics Fest in NYC, the 7-time Super Bowl champ made a surprise entrance that looked like it was ripped straight from Monday Night Raw. He rolled in with a championship belt slung over his shoulder and Cody Rhodes’ WWE entrance theme blasting through the arena. Yes, really.
Brady fully leaned into the villain role—he spat on a Sauce Gardner Jets jersey (ouch) and tore an Eli Manning Giants jersey in half like he was auditioning for WrestleMania. And just when the crowd thought it couldn’t get wilder, Eli himself popped up, jumped on Brady’s back, and they both rode off in classic WWE style.
For anyone keeping score: Eli beat Brady in two Super Bowls. So yeah, this was full-circle sports theater.
WWE posted the entrance on social media, and Cody Rhodes—who lost his WWE title to John Cena at WrestleMania 41—was clearly feeling it. He dropped three goat emojis in the comments, basically crowning Brady as the GOAT.
Brady might be 47 now, but he’s still pulling in headlines like it’s the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. The man finished his NFL career with 89,214 passing yards, 649 touchdowns, and a highlight reel that’ll live forever.
Moral of the story? Brady may be done with football, but he’s just getting started on his WWE heel era—and Cody Rhodes is definitely here for it.
