Logan Paul and Tom Brady just turned Valentine’s Day into a fresh round of trash talk — and the internet ran with it.
On February 14, 2026, the WWE Superstar and seven-time Super Bowl champion started trending again after exchanging new shots on social media ahead of their upcoming matchup at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21 in Saudi Arabia.
The back-and-forth kicked off when Paul shared a wrestling clip that featured a wrestler performing a ton of flip moves and tagged Brady directly, challenging the NFL legend’s athleticism.
“Let’s see Tom Brady do this.”
The post racked up millions of views and immediately reignited their ongoing debate about what defines a true athlete. Brady didn’t ignore it. Instead, he responded with a line that sent both NFL and WWE fans into debate mode.
“You know we’re not playing flag gymnastics, right?”
The tension between the two has been building for a bit now. It originally began when Paul claimed his WWE skills stack up against NFL stars during a Super Bowl party conversation. Brady brushed that off at the time, calling WWE “cute” and praising the pressure faced by football pros like Saquon Barkley.
Paul later escalated things in a Sports Illustrated interview, questioning Brady’s NFL Combine numbers and arguing that most NFL players wouldn’t last in a WWE ring. Now, with the Fanatics Flag Football Classic just weeks away, the feud has shifted from interviews to direct public jabs.
Brady is set to lead a U.S. team in the March 21 event in Saudi Arabia, while Paul will compete on the opposite side. What started as playful banter now feels like legitimate competitive tension — and both fan bases are locked in. NFL supporters are backing Brady’s championship résumé. Wrestling fans may or may not be are riding with Paul. Either way, the timing works perfectly for the event, which now carries real storyline energy.
With March 21 fast approaching, will this stay social media talk, or does one of them try to prove a point on the field in Saudi Arabia?
