Tom Brady and the WWE appear to be at each other's throats. The legendary NFL quarterback recently joked that he would leave the roster 'crying' if they tried to sack him. His controversial comments occurred during a recent interview with Sports Illustrated.

"All their stuff is so cute and scripted, and they know what's going on," Brady said. "In football, you don't know. So, they wouldn't get near me. Plus, if I had a good offensive line, they would punch those guys right in the throat, and they'd be probably be crying. There's no fake BS we do in American Football. For those guys, it would be a whole different story for them."
The problem with Brady's comments is that he's ignoring the level of athleticism and toughness that goes into being a professional wrestler. Sure, the outcome is scripted and part of a larger storyline. Yet, the injuries, bumps, bruises and risks are all incredibly real.
Of course, the WWE locker room was going to take Brady's comments lying down. 14-time Women's World Champion Charlotte Flair quickly responded on X. "If I had five guys to protect me, I might be ok," she wrote.
Recently acquired superstar Danhausen also had something to say: "It would only take one
@WWE superstar to CURSE Tim Bordy,"
