Former Bucs QB Tom Brady receives surprise attack from old enemy

As part of a Fanatics Fest feature where fans could make their own WWE-style entrances, Brady made his way to the stage carrying a championship belt over his shoulder and walking out to Cody Rhodes’ entrance theme — in full heel mode. He was immediately met with a Giants fan in the crowd handing him an Eli Manning jersey. Brady’s response? He ripped it clean in half.

Seconds later, Eli Manning stormed the stage and jumped onto Brady’s back in a playful attempt to “take him down,” mimicking the many real-life battles the two shared on the field during their NFL careers.

While their football rivalry famously saw Manning and the Giants spoil two of Brady’s Super Bowl appearances, the two quarterbacks have embraced their history, often trading good-natured jabs on social media and during public events. This was no different, a staged but hilarious nod to a decade of unforgettable matchups.

Brady's three-year stint in Tampa Bay brought a Lombardi Trophy and a championship mindset that still lingers throughout the locker room. For Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans, it was another reminder of the impact Brady continues to have not just on the game but on its culture. Even off the field, Brady still managed to walk away the champ.
