Recently retired Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is wasting no time jumping into the WWE.

Well, a WWE Community event, at the very least, as Gronkowski was spotted in the background of a photo the official WWE Community account posted from the USO-Metro dinner on Tuesday night.

The picture features some usual WWE suspects; Mickie James is bottom right, Braun Strowman is towering in the background, and Gronkowski's personal friend and WWE Superstar Mojo Rawley is in the far right on the second row. The photo also features Jon Stewart (a fan of WWE), as well as Terry Bradshaw.

Then there's Gronk, tux and all, just chilling in the back row.

The idea of Gronkowski joining the WWE has been out there for some time now. And it's something Rawley has talked about openly, saying that the 'shackles' of the NFL are now off and that Gronkowski could definitely make the jump to wrestling.

Gronkowski has already appeared in a WWE ring, too, as he helped Rawley win the Andre Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33.

With Wrestlemania less than two weeks away, it's enough to make you channel your inner Adam Jones with a thousand thinking face emojis.
