Brady called him a “dork.”

“I tried America… will try again next time I see this nerd,” he added.

Brady and Paul have been feuding since the seven-time Super Bowl champion said the YouTuber wasn’t a real athlete because he competed in WWE and not on the gridiron like him.

The former New England Patriots star made the initial remarks during Super Bowl week. The two had it out during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.

Brady suggested in an interview on WWE star Cody Rhodes’ podcast “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” that he would want to get involved in a match.

“I need to get an invite. I’ve been waiting for (WWE president) Nick Khan to come up with some storyline for me to get in the mix,” Brady said Thursday. “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 told Fox News Digital in April 2025 that he might show up at WrestleMania 41.

“I may be there,” he said at the time. “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.”
