Sheamus: Tom Brady Needs to Work on His Slap, Will End Up in WWE

Sheamus thinks Tom Brady has some work to do before he steps into a WWE ring — starting with his slap technique. Speaking on the Adam’s Apple podcast, the WWE veteran weighed in on the ongoing saga between Brady and Logan Paul, predicting the NFL legend will eventually find his way onto WWE programming.

The comments come amid reports of talks between Brady and WWE, with the promotion reportedly gauging his interest in some form of on-screen involvement. Brady’s issues with Logan Paul have been simmering for months, boiling over earlier this year when Brady slapped Paul across the face at Fanatics Fest in front of a stunned crowd. That moment went viral instantly and only added fuel to speculation that WWE could look to capitalize on the real-life heat between the two.

Sheamus, never one to hold back an opinion, joked that Brady’s open-hand strike needs some polishing if he’s going to be swinging them inside a WWE ring rather than on a convention stage. It’s a lighthearted jab, but it also underscores something WWE has leaned into more and more in recent years: blurring the line between celebrity beef and scripted storytelling. Logan Paul himself is proof of concept — he went from YouTube provocateur to a legitimate, hated heel with real drawing power, and Brady, as a co-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and a mainstream sports icon, would bring an entirely different level of attention if WWE ever pulled the trigger on something more permanent.

Whether that means an eventual match, a series of confrontational segments, or just Brady popping up ringside to antagonize Paul remains to be seen. WWE has shown no hesitation in recent years to bring in outside stars — from Bad Bunny to Pat McAfee to Jelly Roll — when the story calls for it, and Brady’s crossover appeal makes him an obvious target if the company wants to keep building toward something bigger with the Paul rivalry.

For now, Sheamus’s remarks are more speculation than confirmation, but they reflect a growing belief within the wrestling world that Brady’s presence in WWE could be a matter of when, not if. Given how much traction the Fanatics Fest slap already generated, it wouldn’t be surprising if WWE eventually finds a way to make that moment part of a much larger story.

Whether or not Brady ever laces up boots, one thing seems clear — if he does step into that world, he’ll want to have that slap ready for prime time.
