Tom Brady just embraced his inner villain.
The legendary quarterback had the chance Friday to do a WWE entrance at Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center — and he decided to go full-blown heel.
With WWE star Cody Rhodes’ entrance music blaring, Brady began his entry by spitting on (or at least appearing to), discarding and stomping on a Sauce Gardner Jets jersey.
He then received an Eli Manning Giants jersey and tore it clean in half, which prompted Manning to show up out of nowhere and jump on his back, piggyback-riding him all the way back up the entrance ramp and making a humorous exit.
For an event taking place in New York City, Brady certainly had some fun with the local football teams.
While Jets fans were reminded of their disdain for the former division rival after Brady showed up in their city and discarded a Gardner jersey, Manning and the Giants fans can likely laugh the moment off, knowing that Manning is responsible for two of Brady’s three Super Bowl losses.
The moment playfully reignited the NFL rivalry that saw the two legendary Super Bowl matchups, where Manning famously took down Brady both times — including once to halt Brady’s Patriots from completing a perfect 19-0 season.
Widely considered as the greatest quarterback of all time, Brady went 7-3 in Super Bowls.
Manning also made a WWE entrance of his own at Fanatics Fest, electing to walk out to Roman Reigns’ signature — but he elected not to destroy any jerseys as Brady did.
Brady’s former teammate, Rob Gronkowski, has made an actual WWE appearance in the past, and with how Brady’s villainous entrance looked, perhaps it could be his turn next.
