Logan Paul Slapped by Tom Brady: Was WWE Fight Setup 'Staged'?

Logan Paul was slapped by Tom Brady at Fanatics Fest on July 17, sparking debate over whether the incident was staged to promote a potential WWE fight between the two.

What happened?

The incident occurred during an on-stage meeting between Brady and Paul, with Brady later posting a video of the slap on his X account, captioning it: "Dork." Paul, who has a contract with WWE, also shared the clip along with his own version of events, stating that he was roasting Brady for beating him in flag football.

Why it matters for Logan Paul

The slap has sparked debate over whether the incident was staged to promote a potential WWE fight between Brady and Paul. Many users have claimed that the incident was planned to set up an eventual wrestling match-up between the pair. "Real slap but completely staged," one user wrote. "Logan Paul's first reaction after getting bitch slapped in front of a public audience was to take a few steps back. Any alpha man's first move would be to step forward. Choreographed to build tension for the WWE event. Don't fall for it."

What comes next?

During a live discussion with wrestler Cody Rhodes at the same event a day earlier, Brady had openly floated the idea of WWE President Nick Khan creating a narrative around him. "I need to get an invite," said Brady. "I've been waiting for Nick Khan to come up with some storyline for me to get in the mix. I feel like I'm retired from football, and I have an opportunity to go out there and still showcase that I'm a little bit of an athlete."

Brady and Paul have known each other for some time, with Brady appearing on Paul's podcast in May last year to discuss his infamous Netflix roast. In the interview, Brady recalled how the viral event affected his two kids whom he shares with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

The incident has sparked a lot of debate, with many users speculating that the slap was staged to promote a potential WWE fight between Brady and Paul. However, it's worth noting that the WWE has not made any official statement about the incident.

The question on everyone's mind is: what comes next? Will Brady and Paul face off in the ring, or was the slap just a publicity stunt? Only time will tell.

The aftermath

The incident has sparked a lot of reaction from fans and wrestlers alike. Many have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the incident, with some calling it a publicity stunt and others calling it a genuine moment. The WWE has not made any official statement about the incident, but it's clear that it's got everyone talking.

The incident has also sparked a lot of debate over whether the WWE should allow celebrities like Brady to participate in their events. Some have argued that it's a great way to bring in new fans and create buzz around the WWE, while others have argued that it's a distraction from the actual wrestling.

In the end, only time will tell what comes next for Brady and Paul. But one thing is for sure: the WWE is always looking for new ways to create buzz and attract new fans, and this incident is no exception.
