New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski announced on Sunday that he is retiring from the NFL, potentially opening up a future WWE run if he wants to pursue it.
Gronkowski has expressed interest in a future with WWE in the past and helped his longtime friend Mojo Rawley win the Andre the Giant battle royal at WrestleMania 33.
Mojo Rawley and WWE both commented on Twitter:
Congrats to my brother @RobGronkowski on retirement. Best to ever play the position in @NFL history. Proud of your career and even more proud to be your friend.
Itβs about to get really wild now. The best is yet to come!
