Tom Brady Responds to Logan Paul Wrestling “Flip” Challenge With Sarcastic Remark

Valentine’s Day 2026 turned into another round of social-media sparring between seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady and WWE Superstar Logan Paul, pushing their months-long feud into fresh territory ahead of the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21 in Saudi Arabia.

The latest exchange began when Paul posted a wrestling clip featuring a chain of acrobatic flips and tagged Brady directly, questioning the quarterback’s athleticism. The video rocketed past one million views within hours and reignited the debate over what constitutes a “real” athlete.

Brady fired back with a single line that lit up both NFL and WWE corners of the internet: “You know we’re not playing flag gymnastics, right?”

The barb is the newest chapter in a rivalry that started at a Super Bowl party, where Paul claimed his in-ring skills measure up to those of elite NFL players. Brady dismissed WWE as “cute” and praised the pressure faced by football standouts like Saquon Barkley. Paul escalated the feud in a recent Sports Illustrated interview, poking at Brady’s NFL Combine numbers and arguing that most football players would struggle to survive a WWE schedule.

With the March exhibition in Riyadh drawing closer, the banter has shifted from off-hand comments to direct public jabs. Brady will captain a U.S. roster in the flag football showcase, while Paul suits up for the opposing squad. What began as playful promotion now carries genuine competitive tension, energizing ticket holders and broadcasters alike.

NFL loyalists point to Brady’s championship pedigree; wrestling supporters tout Paul’s athletic daring. The only certainty is that the countdown to kickoff now feels as much about personal pride as it does about the final score.
