WWE issues statement on 24/7 champion Rob Gronkowski rejoining NFL
By Ty Anderson, 985TheSportsHub.com
After a year away from football, Rob Gronkowski has decided to put the pads on and reunite with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay.
Gronkowski used his year away from football to take his talents just about everywhere. The 6-foot-6 announced a partnership with a CBD company, did some TV work for the NFL on FOX, made an appearance on “The Masked Singer,” and even made his long-rumored jump to the WWE. Gronkowski made that jump to the squared circle count, too, as the host of the crowd-less WrestleMania 36, which ended with Gronkowski winning the company’s beloved-but-gimmicky 24/7 championship.

The belt is as true as it sounds, as it must be defended 24 hours a day for seven days a week, and the WWE reminded the 30-year-old Gronkowski of that while also congratulating him on his return to football on Tuesday.
Congratulations to @RobGronkowski, the current WWE 24/7 Champion, on his return to football.

Per the rules of the 24/7 Title, Gronk must defend his championship at all times in any location. He could be celebrating a touchdown pass from @TomBrady... anytime, anywhere.
That’s all Gronkowski’s friend (and the man he defeated to win the belt), Mojo Rawley, needed to hear to get his mind racing.
Hey @RobGronkowski! Congrats!

But remember when I was at my work and you cheap shotted me and stole my 24/7 title at Mania?
I can’t wait to spear you in the middle of training camp and win my title back. Or during a @Buccaneers game. 🤔#ReceiptComing!!!!
Head on a swivel, Gronk.
