Tom Brady didn’t backtrack from his WWE taunting.

The NFL legend irked the wrestling community by calling the WWE “cute” last month. Not even the threat of an RKO from Randy Orton appears to have scared off the former New England Patriots quarterback.

Brady went back on the offensive when Sports Illustrated asked him how many WWE stars it would take to sack him.

“All their stuff is so cute and scripted, and they know what’s going on,” Brady said. “In a football game, you don’t know, so they wouldn’t even get near me.

“Plus, if I had a good offensive line, they’d punch those guys right in the throat. They’d probably be crying. There’s no fake BS we do in American football. For those guys, it’d be a whole different story for them.”

Brady made his initial comments when promoting the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic with Logan Paul, an opponent in the inaugural event. The seven-time Super Bowl champion rehashed his “cute” diss when drafting his team in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 48-year-old may just be playfully throwing shade at Paul, a WWE star who booked (and pulled out of) a fight with former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell after the podcast clip went viral. It’s also possible he’s joining the fun and working a wrestling angle.

WrestleMania 42 is in Las Vegas next month. Perhaps the Raiders minority owner could appear at Allegiant Stadium to receive some comeuppance for his frequent WWE shade.
