Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was at a press conference in NYC on Tuesday to announce a partnership with a company that produces CBD products, and he was asked about a potential WWE run.
Gronkowski, who is good friends with Mojo Rawley, has expressed interest in a WWE run in the past and appeared at WrestleMania 33 in 2017, helping Mojo win the Andre the Giant battle royal.
Here’s what Gronkowski, who announced his NFL retirement in March, had to say: (h/t: CBS Sports)
“With wrestling, I don’t feel like I would be a full-time wrestler, but there is one thing I’m down for. And that’s to do one crazy match. Practice it for a little bit, go out there, like in a Royal Rumble, go out there, I got my friend in WWE [Rawley], practice it and do a full-on WWE match. I’m not saying when. Maybe five years. 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.”
