WrestleMania week is just around the corner. This weekend, WWE will host its biggest event of the year at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Celebrities often flock to Sin City for the show, but will Tom Brady be among them? The legendary NFL quarterback, now 47, is also a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
When asked by Fox News if he’d attend WrestleMania 41, Brady teased, “I may be there.” The seven-time Super Bowl winner praised WWE’s success, hinting he might spend Easter weekend with the wrestling giant. Brady has never been to WrestleMania before, so his appearance would be a big deal.
Last August, Brady made waves by entering an event to Hulk Hogan’s theme music. The move drew mixed reactions, as Hogan has faced criticism in recent years. WWE star Drew McIntyre even mocked Brady for copying Hogan’s iconic style. Still, Brady’s potential WrestleMania visit has fans talking.
I may be there. But it’s amazing what’s going on there and it’s amazing what’s happening with WWE and all the different things surrounding that.

WWE has seen several NFL stars crossover lately. In February, 49ers’ George Kittle appeared on Monday Night Raw and met Penta, the wrestler who inspired his touchdown celebration. At WrestleMania XL, Eagles players Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson helped Rey Mysterio in a match. Could Brady be next to join the fun?
Seth Rollins looking to replace Tom Brady in his broadcasting role
Tom Brady ended his remarkable 23-year NFL career and joined Fox as an analyst. He signed a 10-year deal worth $375 million. However, Seth Rollins, a devoted Chicago Bears fan, hopes to outshine Brady one day. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Rollins said he’d love to take Brady’s spot in the broadcast booth.
Rollins, a five-time WWE Champion, has always wanted to work as an NFL commentator after retiring from wrestling. Calling games, especially those involving the Bears, is a big dream for him. While he admits he may not be the best play-by-play announcer, he believes he’d excel at color commentary.
Rollins recently appeared on Good Morning Football, and his performance was well-received. It’s clear he has a natural talent for broadcasting. The wrestler, who turns 39 next month, has no plans to leave WWE anytime soon.
On a WFAN podcast, Rollins revealed he aims to wrestle until he’s 45. Even with his NFL commentary ambitions, he doesn’t see himself walking away from WWE. His passion for both wrestling and football keeps him motivated for the future.
