In case you’ve been living under a rock, WWE is on fire right now. Almost a year ago to the day, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque used those exact words to usher in a new era for the biggest professional wrestling brand in the world.
It was also the first teaser for this year’s WrestleMania, the biggest show on the wrestling calendar, as the company heads to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, the event has caught the eye of a high-profile new owner in town: Tom Brady.

Back in October, Brady acquired a 5% ownership stake in the Las Vegas-based franchise. This offseason, as he fully stepped into the fold, he’s been working to build a competitive roster right away.
That process included hiring legendary NFL coach Pete Carroll to lead the team and trading for Geno Smith to solidify the quarterback spot. Ideally, the next big moment comes at the 2025 NFL Draft in Lambeau Field on April 24.
But Brady might have another commitment lined up in Vegas the week before. Speaking to Fox News Digital, he teased a possible appearance at the 41st edition of WWE’s Super Bowl: “I may be there.”
He added, “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.” Of course, the history between WWE and other sports has been well documented.
There’s the photo of a teenage LeBron James in the front row of Monday Night RAW, holding up a flip phone to record “Stone Cold” Steve Austin—etched into wrestling history. Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor famously competed at WrestleMania IX.
Even in Philadelphia, Eagles’ legends like Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson got in on the action last year. Perhaps most famously, Brady’s longtime teammate Rob Gronkowski competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
More recently, heir apparent Patrick Mahomes appeared in two segments on RAW alongside Logan Paul and Braun Strowman. Maybe Brady is ready to add his name to that list.
WrestleMania 41, as the name suggests, marks the 41st edition of WWE’s Showcase of the Immortals. It features marquee matchups like Jey Uso vs. Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship and Charlotte Flair vs. Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s World Heavyweight Championship.
Also on the card are two huge triple-threat matches. The first has Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk finally colliding after years of tension. The second sees Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, and Iyo Sky square off for the WWE Women’s Championship.
But the biggest draw of the two-night event? Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena. The self-proclaimed current QB1 faces off with the man who carried the company for more than 20 years.
What makes the Night Two main event even more special: It marks the first time in nearly two decades that Cena steps into the role of a villain.
