Logan Paul has reignited tensions with Tom Brady ahead of WrestleMania 42 weekend, revisiting their recent on-field clash while delivering fresh criticism as he gears up for his next WWE appearance in Las Vegas.
The two previously crossed paths during a promotional flag football game tied to Brady’s Fanatics Flag Football Classic, an event that featured a mix of former and current NFL stars, celebrity athletes, and members of the United States men’s national flag football team. The matchup produced several viral moments, with Brady’s side ultimately securing a 34–26 victory over Paul’s team.
Although the pair shared a respectful postgame handshake, Paul has since resumed taking verbal shots while promoting his upcoming WrestleMania bout. Speaking to TMZ’s Inside the Ropes, he brushed aside speculation about Brady potentially appearing at the event.
“As far as I’m concerned, he’s washed up,” he told the media outlet, also reminding everyone that Brady “was beaten by a YouTuber slash wrestler in his own sport.”

Ahead of the premium live event, Logan Paul also drew attention for his appearance on ESPN’s First Take, where he expressed frustration with early media obligations while maintaining his wrestling persona.
“I’m only here so I don’t get fined,” Paul said, per Awful Announcing’s post on X. “Give me a reason to walk, and I will walk. I will walk, bro.”
Paul commented while referencing the early morning timing of the interview and comparing his approach to that of former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, who became known for his brief media answers during Super Bowl XLIX media day.
During the segment, Paul also admitted that the early schedule affected his responses. When asked about what he was most looking forward to at WrestleMania 42, he said, “Sleeping in tomorrow morning, which I can do before my match. I’m a good employee — the best employee they have — and so that’s why I’m here.”
