5 Times major celebrities stole headlines at WWE  events

#1. Rob Gronkowski

Rob Gronkowski runs through Jinder Mahal at WrestleMania

American football star Rob 'The Gronk' Gronkowski is no stranger to WWE. He is, after all, WWE 24/7 Champion at the time of writing.

Gronkowski defeated good friend, Mojo Rawley, at WrestleMania 36 to claim the title. He had already been making a big impression as the host of the two-day spectacle.

However, Gronkowski first made headlines in the world of WWE three years ago at the same event, when he was present for WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, Florida. There to support Rawley in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, he was less than impressed when Jinder Mahal confronted him at ringside.

Keen to gain a measure of revenge for Mahal throwing a drink in his face, he entered the ring, floored Mahal with a huge football tackle, aiding Rawley to what was the biggest win of his career to that point.

Prior to his return to the WWE spotlight ahead of the 2020 version of Mania, it was reported that Gronkowski had signed a contract with the company.
