In recent weeks, the 7-time Super Bowl Champion and WWE’s Logan Paul have trashed talk back and forth in the lead-up to the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.

During an appearance on Paul’s Impaulsive podcast (h/t Yahoo! Sports ), Brady told Paul that he wasn’t on the same level as elite NFL athletes like Saquon Barkley and Justin Jefferson. If that sounds like the start of a WWE feud, it just might be.

Yes, In true pro wrestling style, Brady and Paul have spent weeks carefully crafting a rivalry in an effort to generate interest in the celebrity flag football tournament in Los Angeles, as the two stars verbally sparred over WWE’s scripted nature. During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated , Brady infamously called WWE “so cute and scripted,” prompting several WWE tars to respond. WWE’s biggest defender has been Paul, the YouTuber-turned-wrestler who performs on Monday Night Raw as a member of The Vision stable.
