Injuries forced Gronkowski into an early retirement from NFL and 30-year-old is busy exploring new ventures, having recently made his WWE debut. Meanwhile, Tom Brady has left Patriots to start a new chapter with Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
While duo is expected to enjoy success in ir respective new ventures, fans are still speculating a return for Rob Gronkowski to NFL and, particularly, a reunion with Tom Brady. Multiple reports have even suggested Gronkowski, who is fit to play a role with WWE, could make a return as early as 2020. Such a return, however, is seemingly unlikely as Gronkowski has reportedly signed a multi-year deal with WWE. However, this hasn't stopped rumour mill from speculating.
