Tommy Dreamer Isn’t Sure How Tom Brady Fits Into WWE WrestleMania 42 Plans

NFL legend Tom Brady has been teasing an appearance in WWE with the numerous shots he’s taken at WWE, and veteran star Tommy Dreamer is uncertain about the angle WWE and Brady are going for heading into Wrestlemania.

Brady has had arguments with Paul about WWE wrestlers being “cute and scripted,” which ruffled many feathers in WWE. The comments have stirred a hornet’s nest, with Seth Rollins stating that Brady doesn’t have the guts to step in the ring with him. With WrestleMania just a few weeks away, fans have been wondering how Brady fits into the scheme of things, a question that Dreamer doesn’t have an answer for.

“He’s an owner or he’s involved with the [Las Vegas] Raiders, so if you put him out there in a wrestling crowd, I think he might get booed because it’s not like a lot of Raiders fans are gonna be going to this thing called WrestleMania. If you put Gunther at a Raiders game and he sh*t on football and he sh*t on the Raiders, he’d be the heel. So Brady is kind of being this heel role, so I don’t know what they’re [WWE] doing. Because, again, you got to think of the payoff. If it’s Logan Paul-Tom Brady in a match, I don’t know if that’s happening,” he said on “Busted Open.” “And then the other part, like when we were talking about like dealing with celebrities and a celebrity of the magnitude of a Tom Brady, if Tom Brady’s secretly training, if Tom Brady’s doing all this stuff, do you think Tom Brady’s gonna want to lose in Allegiant Stadium in a match?”

While Dreamer isn’t sure how Brady fits into the scheme of things heading into WrestleMania 42, he is sure that one other celebrity deserves a WrestleMania match — Jelly Roll. The ECW Original believes that the Grammy winner has done enough with his promos and his ability to draw fans to get himself a spot on the card at “The Show of Shows.”

Rob Van Dam Is ‘Open’ To WWE Return But Dislikes Concept Of Retirement Run

Rob Van Dam has discussed a potential match in WWE and also touched upon his views on retirement and a possible retirement tour.

A whole generation of WWE fans hasn’t seen the sensation that is RVD, as he last wrestled in the promotion back in 2014. With him recently returning to the ring following a layoff due to injury, the WWE Hall of Famer has spoken to “TMZ Sports” about getting back in the ring in WWE.

“I am open to consider anything [wrestling in WWE]. That’s part of being open-minded. You know, I try not to shut anything out without at least considering it. And when it comes to something like that, they got my number. They can talk to me. As you know, I’ll be appearing at WWE World also,” he said.

John Cena decided to end his WWE career with a retirement tour, saying goodbye to his fans around the world throughout 2025. RVD, though, doesn’t want a similar approach and doesn’t even want to know when he’s having his last match, which offers a different perspective from his former rival’s final few matches in pro wrestling.

“But as far as a retirement tour, like, unless I change my perspective — which always happens, you’re always looking at everything from a different place in life if you keep going — but the way I feel now is like, I don’t like the idea of labeling something retirement. Or I don’t really want to know if I’m having my last match when I am,” said RVD.

The ECW legend, who was out of action due to breaking both his heels, returned to the ring last month at Battle Championship Wrestling in Australia, where he main evented the show and got a win over Australia’s Mick Moretti. 

AEW Collision Viewership & Ratings Report, 3/21/2026 & 3/22/2026

Last week’s “AEW Collision” — “Slam Dunk Saturday” and “Slam Dunk Sunday” — which aired over the course of two days, grew in both viewership and ratings.

“Collision,” which was taped on March 18 in Fresno, California, aired in two parts, March 21 and 22, and both shows saw a rise in viewership. The March 21 edition saw viewership grow to 469,000 viewers on average, as per “Wrestlenomics,” growing from the 458,000 it secured in the previous week. The following day, “Slam Dunk Sunday,” saw the viewership rise even further as it crossed the 600,000 mark, with an average viewership of 616,000 for the night. Both nights were one-hour episodes, which were scheduled to air at 11 p.m., but were delayed due to the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament. 

The 18-49 key demographic ratings for both nights also witnessed a gain from the previous week’s rating of 0.07. Saturday night’s show delivered a rating of 0.10, while the following night, the ratings improved even further as it averaged 0.12. 

Saturday night’s show featured a bunch of tag team matches, as well as an AEW TNT Championship match, where Kyle Fletcher retained his title, while Sunday’s match also had some tag team matches, including an AEW World Trios title match.

This coming week’s “Collision” will air live on Saturday, March 28, and will feature an AEW Women’s World Tag Team match, as well as an AEW International Championship match.

Bully Ray Comments On Whether Oba Femi Should Beat Brock Lesnar At WWE WrestleMania

Bully Ray is convinced that Oba Femi has to win in his first clash with Brock Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania 42.

Ray, on “Busted Open,” said that if Lesnar is unsure about losing to the former NXT Champion, like he and Paul Heyman were about Braun Strowman, the face-to-face with Oba Femi over the last two weeks and the reaction it has generated from the crowd should ease those fears.

“With what we saw over the past two weeks, does Oba Femi need to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania? Is getting over going to be enough? Does Oba need to go over?” asked Ray. “Oba is part of the future of this roster and this company. It ain’t going to hurt Brock Lesnar to lose. And if Brock is on his way out, I don’t think it’s going to affect that last match, if that last match is against Gunther, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think they should put Oba over.”

Ray played devil’s advocate and argued that WWE could be apprehensive about Femi winning if they believe they are force-feeding him to the audience, which he doesn’t think is the case. With reports suggesting that Lesnar could retire later this year, Ray stated that the match against Oba Femi should signal that “The Beast Incarnate” is nearing the end of his career and that Lesnar’s staring at his “wrestling mortality” after the clash.

Ray, who commended Lesnar’s understanding of the business, is adamant that Oba Femi has to win the match and even went as far as to demand WWE put over Femi in the match.

“Come on, WWE, take a chance. Show some b**ls,” he said. “You did what you did over the past two weeks. Why? So you could give Oba a little bit on the front, because he’s really gonna lose on the back? I’d go ahead and do it again in the Garden next week.”

The WWE legend pondered how the match between Femi and Lesnar could pan out — whether it would be a quick finish or stretch to 10 minutes, with both stars bringing out their best.
