The outstanding highlight of the SummerSlam 2022 was the one-on-one match-up of Logan Paul against The Miz. The famous YouTube star pulled off some impressive and ambitious tricks which wowed the WWE Universe. Paul took it to Instagram to show his exciting moves. Several supporters clamored under the comment section to show their support, along with their fascination with the rising wrestling star. Amongst these fans was an awed Rob Gronkowski, who conveyed his wonder.

The former TE for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lauded the YouTuber turned professional wrestler. Gronk commented, “Beasting it.” Which Paul absolutely did. Also, quite impressively, the recent debutant pulled off an insane Frog Splash that would make Eddie Guerrero proud. Many can only dream their dives to be that perfect.

Rob Gronkowski and his time in WWE

The former New England Patriots signed with WWE after deciding to end his NFL career. He appeared on WrestleMania 33 to show his support for his friend, Mojo Rawley. The new gig should come naturally to him, or so it was thought. Just a few months after signing with WWE, he decided to leave the company altogether to return to NFL. Rob Gronkowski exercised his release clause and thus joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as their tight end and played alongside his former New England Patriots teammate, Tom Brady.
