It seems that Rob Gronkowski’s larger than life off field personality getting him his next bag. The former tight end might be hitting the squared circle soon.

On Tuesday, March 10 the official WWE Twitter account posted a tweet that took both football and wrestling fans by surprise. WWE Editor In Chief Ryan Satin reported that Gronk might be the sports entertainment giant’s newest star. The former Patriots tight end, who is currently a football analyst for Fox Sports, is “deep in talks” with WWE, @ryansatin reported on WWE Backstage. Though it remains unclear in what capacity Gronk would be used, Satin says he could appear as early as the March 20 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.”

It seems the check was indeed cut as The Wrap is reporting today that the Amherst, New York native has signed a contract is slated to appear on their programming as early as next week. “Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has officially signed with WWE, an insider told TheWrap exclusively. The ex-NFL great is set to debut one week from Friday on the March 20 episode of Fox’s SmackDown” Tony Maglio wrote.

This would not be the first time the Pro Bowl starter would make an appearance on the Vince McMahon machine. He previously pulled up to WrestleMania 33 to provide backup for his friend Mojo Rawley. In an interview with ESPN in 2019 he detailed his enthusiasm for possibly strapping up his gear. “I got the rest of my life to do that. I’ve always dreamed about doing that, just one time, going in there and going full-out. That may be a possibility, one time, down the road.”

Antonio Brown Files $40M Dollar Grievance Against His Former NFL Teams

Oakland Raiders v Arizona Cardinals

Well that didn’t take very long. Antonio Brown is asking his former employers to pay the remaining balance of his professional football contract.

NFL.com is reporting that the controversial wide receiver has a filed a grievance against the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots. The former wide out is seeking to recoup almost 40 million dollars in his unpaid salary. From Oakland specifically he has requested monies deducted due to disciplinary penalties, a week of salary when he was abruptly dropped from Oakland and voided guarantees. His complaint against the Patriots states includes salary not paid to him from week 1 of the 2019 season and the balance of the contract.

Even though the Raiders made Brown the highest-paid receiver he had a very tumultuous year off the field. He allegedly confronted his then general manager Mike Mayock in a hostile manner which resulted him in being terminated even before he played one game for the AFC West squad. He then signed with the Patriots a week later amidst allegations of rape and sexual assault.  He would be cut shortly after when it was reported that he sent texts intimidating a witness related to a separate case.

On September 22 he took to his Twitter account to vent his frustration claiming he will never play for the NFL again and also allude to this recent grievance filing.

Damn AB: Antonio Brown Waived By The Patriots, NFL Twitter Is Exploding

Even the NFL has its limits. Today (Sept. 20), Antonio Brown was unceremoniously waived by the NFL.

The speculation is rampant that Antonio Brown must have sexually assaulted someone since the NFL will let just about anything slide.

But really, AB did it to himself thanks to the latest allegations of him sending threatening texts to an artist who accused him of sexual misconduct. And that’s not including the personal trainer who accused him of rape. So yeah, New England did the obvious—after Nike dropped AB like a bad habit.

Peep some of the most poignant reactions so far below.

Antonio Brown Hits Back At Critics While Working Out For The Pats

Antonio Brown had the entire world tuned in on his ordeal regarding his ouster from the Oakland Raiders to joining the New England Patriots, but the surfacing of explosive sexual assault allegations have unsettled things. The talented wide receiver seemingly addressed his critics amid the claims by way of an Instagram Live video during a workout for the team.


New York Post
reports:

Brown, 31, went live Thursday night from the TB12 Performance and Recovery Center with Alex Guerrero, Tom Brady’s personal trainer and business partner.

At the start of the stream, obtained by Mark Daniels, Patriots beat writer for the Providence Journal, Brown said that 17,000 people were listening in — to which Guerrero replied, “Hello, 17,000 people!”

Then the receiver launched into a rambling monologue.

“The work don’t stop,” he said. “No matter what they say, no matter what they hate, somebody’s still gotta go to work.”

This comes after Brown’s stepfather, who has been out of the 31-year-old player’s life since he was 17, supported claims that Brown is capable of what he’s being accused of by personal trainer Britney Taylor.

Young Thug Fined $145,000 For Unpaid Taxes

ATLien Young Thug has been hit with a huge fine after failing to pay back taxes owed from 2014 and 2015. According to published reports, the Georgia Department of Revenue hit Thugger, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, with a state tax lien on July 30 citing that the rapper owed more than $145,794.03 for the 2015 tax year.

In court documents obtained by The Blast, Young Thug’s original balance owed was only $85,254 but after accruing $21,125.88 in interest and $22,313.35 in penalties and other costs, the impeeding debt swelled. In addition to back taxes owed for 2015, the Georgia Department of Revenue also states Young Thug owes an additional $30,194.86 for taxes and penalties owed from 2014.

As of press time, Young Thug has yet to respond but according to documents if Thugger continues to delay the lien gives the state the ability to use his property and assets as collateral to repay the debt.

In other Young Thug news, the rapper has garnered a lot of attention over the last few days after New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady utilized Young Thug and Gunna’s track, “Hot” to amp up the excitement for the return of the new NFL season.

In addition to making headlines, Young Thug recently gained a lot of praise after he decided to show his public support for Lil Nas X while interviewing with LA’s Big Boy on his radio show while addressing rumors about his own sexuality.

“People judge me and say ‘gay.’ If people think that I’m gay, they’ve already misjudged. I’m the straightest man in the world. I got stylists around me. I got gay people around me that’s always around me. I don’t judge. He’s a kid, so I don’t know if he gon’ be able to take what comes. I’m the first rapper that they kind of like came at hard with this. They came at Michael Jackson and Prince, [too]. But, I’m talking Hip-Hop. I know how strong I had to be.”

Young Thug’s latest release So Much Fun is available now.

Jig Alert: Antonio Brown Signs With The New England Patriots

Oakland Raiders v Arizona Cardinals

Source: Christian Petersen / Getty

Just earlier Saturday morning (September 7), it was a bit uncertain where Antonio Brown would be playing this year and if an NFL team would even risk the distraction that could possibly follow. However, the New England Patriots have added the talented wide receiver to its ranks just hours after the Oakland Raiders cut him.

NBC Sports reports:

Brown was released by the Raiders on Saturday morning and agent Drew Rosenhaus said he’d go to work on finding his client a new place to play. Rosenhaus told PFT on Saturday afternoon that Brown has agreed to terms with the Patriots.

It’s a one-year deal worth up to $15 million with a $9 million signing bonus.

Brown cannot play against his former team on Sunday night as the Patriots’ roster is locked for the matchup with the Steelers. The signing becomes official on Monday and Brown’s already given a sneak peek at how he’ll look in his new uniform.

Many wondered if the move would be coming as the Patriots have taken chances on players who have fallen out of favor with other teams in the past. Some of those moves — Corey Dillon, Randy Moss — have worked out while others — Chad Johnson, Albert Haynesworth — have not been as successful.

Looks like Brown got what he wanted in the end.
