The two competitors met on stage with New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns getting in between them. The NFL legend then tried to punch the WWE star before they were pulled apart before things could really escalate.

Paul and Brady responded to the incident on X afterwards.
“This happened before I roasted Tom for beating him at flag football. And he’s trying to smash me? Terrible example for the kids,” Paul wrote on X. “Aura -100 + Blocked. With a torn tricep.”
Brady called him a “nerd.”
“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 field like him.

The former New England Patriots star made the first 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 wants to get involved in a fight.
“I need to get an invite. I’ve been waiting for (WWE president) Nick Khan to come up with a story so I can 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 show that I’m a bit of an athlete.”
Brady told Pakinomist Digital in April 2025 that he might appear at WrestleMania 41.

“I might be there,” he said at the time. “But it’s incredible what’s going on there, and it’s incredible what’s happening with WWE and all the different things around it.”
