Rob Gronkowski has signed a deal to become a pro wrestler for WWE. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reports that the story told on Tuesday’s WWE Backstage that Gronkowski was close to signing with WWE was a storyline and that the former NFL star has already signed a deal. Johnson added that Gronkowski will debut on the March 20 edition of WWE Friday Night Smackdown in New Orleans.
Powell’s POV: This makes a lot more sense than the idea of WWE allowing word to leak on the FS1 show before Gronkowski actually put pen to paper. It’s a good get for WWE, as the 30-year-old Gronkowski was a star player for the New England Patriots before he opted to retire before last season.
Thanks for the invite to the Beach Party @RobGronkowski … maybe you should come to our party in Boston … heard it’s the biggest of the summer. @StephMcMahon pic.twitter.com/eRQ8z0UmQI
