Logan Paul issues brutal response after being slapped by Tom Brady

Logan Paul has told Tom Brady he lost 'aura' points after slapping him in the face.

A viral social media video shows the pair arguing on stage Fanatics Fest in New York City on Friday 17 July, when American football legend Brady appeared to slap Paul in the face.

New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns immediately got between the pair before Paul left the stage.

Paul has taken to X to offer his response to Brady, writing: "This happened bc [because] I was roasting Tom for beating him in flag football.

"And he tries to smack me ?? Horrible example for the kids.

"Aura -100 + Blocked. With a torn tricep."

Brady then quoted the post on his own account, replying: "I tried America… will try again next time I see this nerd."

In a subsequent post, Brady called YouTuber and WWE wrestler Paul a 'dork.'

The official Fanatics - a sports merchandise retailer - X account also chimed in, adding: "Round 100 of this never-ending beef at Fanatics Fest."

Brady and Paul's 'feud' could end up in a WWE ring

It's not the first altercation between Paul and Brady, as the post suggests.

As referenced in Paul's comeback, they were on opposing sides in a flag American football match at another Fanatics event in March and the seven-time Super Bowl champion threw the ball at Paul once play had come to a pause.

Paul didn't take too kindly to that, immediately getting in his face and screaming to the officials: "He threw it at me!"

There is growing speculation on social media that the rivalry is a fabricated one to be settled in a WWE ring.

Paul is an experienced professional wrestler, having competed in 39 matches since his debut at WrestleMania in 2022 and has won WWE titles in singles and tag team competition.

Now fans are predicting he could face Brady at the upcoming SummerSlam event.

"I bet ya anything there is going to be a special match at Summer Slam or the next WWE ppv. Tom Brady vs. Logan Paul," one fan predicted on X.

Another wrote: "Everyone knows its a work for Summerslam. Brady Vs Logan Paul," while one user added: "They're absolutely doing a match between Tom Brady and Logan Paul in some capacity at SummerSlam."

However, Paul suffered a torn bicep in a match in July and is expected to be sidelined for at least six months, though he has remained a regular presence on WWE television.

Brady himself has even revealed he would be open to stepping between the ropes into the squared circle, to prove he is still an athlete despite retiring from American Football in 2023.

“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,” he told WWE superstar Cody Rhodes in a live episode of his What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast.

“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."

It sounds like he's already got one.

From Mr. T at the first WrestleMania to Paul, Jelly Roll and iShowSpeed in the modern era, WWE loves having celebrities in marquee matches and it would be no surprise to see Brady take on Paul one day.

SummerSlam is a two-night show on August 1 and 2 at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Fanatics Fest was also attended by Lionel Messi ahead of Argentina's World Cup final with Spain on Sunday, July 19.
