Logan Paul responds to Tom Brady’s viral slap with WWE SummerSlam tease

Logan Paul is at the center of a viral moment after Tom Brady slapped him at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Friday.

What happened?

Tom Brady: the seven-time Super Bowl champion: put hands on Logan Paul during a convention appearance, sparking immediate reactions online. The slap, caught on camera, looked like a real strike but fit the playful tone Brady and Paul have traded for months. Brady joked the day before about wrestling in WWE, telling Cody Rhodes on his podcast: “I feel like I’m retired from football. I have an opportunity to go out there and still showcase that I’m a little bit of an athlete. My boy Gronk’s done it. I’ve seen obviously Logan Paul do it.”

Why it matters for Logan Paul

The slap sets up a potential storyline between Brady and Paul, even if Paul can’t wrestle soon. Paul tore his tricep and may miss the rest of the year, but his faction The Vision could step in for him. WWE SummerSlam in August could book a match where Brady brings his own team to face The Vision, keeping the feud alive without Logan in the ring. The viral slap alone drew huge attention to a WWE angle, proving star power doesn’t need full physicality to draw eyes.

What comes next?

Brady’s camp has already floated the idea of entering WWE. Paul could cut a promo on Raw addressing Brady’s challenge, setting up a video reply or social media response from Brady. A match at SummerSlam would pair the biggest name in NFL history with pro wrestling’s top crossover star, boosting ticket sales and viewership. The recipe is simple: Brady picks his team, Paul’s faction answers, and WWE gets a must-watch spectacle.

Can it actually happen?

Brady has no wrestling training and Paul is injured, so a direct match isn’t realistic soon. But WWE often books celebrity angles without full training: Gronk, LT and Reggie White all wrestled with minimal prep. The viral slap proves the chemistry between Brady and Paul could sell a program, even if it’s just a one-off angle. For now, the tease is enough to keep fans buzzing.
