President Donald Trump is hosting a phone call with the commissioners of major U.S. sports leagues today, including Vince McMahon and Dana White.

President Trump is about to host what I can only imagine is going to be an absolutely wild phone call. The economic crunch of social distancing and shelter in place orders due to COVID-19 are impacting every aspect of our society, including professional sports leagues. As the leaders of the various leagues try to make informed decisions about how to proceed in the coming months, it makes sense that those leaders would have a call with President Trump in order to get accurate information to inform their decision-making.

That call is going to happen today, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to participate in a phone call with all major-league sports commissioners today at noon, according to the @WhiteHouse.

Let’s throw politics out the window here for a minute and just focus on personality. Can you imagine being on a phone call with Trump, Dana White and Vince McMahon? I’d gladly pay the cost of a UFC pay-per-view and a year-long subscription to WWE Network to listen on on that call. I’m not sure any of the other commissioners stand a chance at getting a word in.

Seriously, what could go wrong?

Oh. Yeah.

Personally, I am hoping Trump and McMahon can organize some kind of commissioner battle-royal for tonight’s WrestleMania.

While we wait for the details, please enjoy this video of Trump shaving Vince McMahon’s head.

Stay tuned for updates on what comes out of this call.

According to the latest reports, former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is finalizing a deal with the WWE.

After months of pining, Rob Gronkowski is finally making his long-awaited comeback.

Unfortunately, it won’t be in the NFl.

As Wrestling Sheet‘s Ryan Satin first reported Tuesday night, the three-time Super Bowl champion and four-time All-Pro selection is close to finalizing a deal with the WWE:

According to Satin, it’s currently unclear what capacity Gronk will be used in, but his first appearance could be as soon as March 20 for Friday Night SmackDown in New Orleans.

This wouldn’t be Gronkowski’s first time participating in a WWE event, as he made an appearance at WrestleMania 33 in 2017. He helped Mojo Rawley defeat Jinder Mahal in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal after Mahal taunted the star tight end, who was sitting ringside for the event.

Gronkowski has said he’s wanted to participate in more WWE events since then, and was photographed with Rawley, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon during Super Bowl weekend.

Just over a year ago, Gronk announced his retirement from the NFL on Instagram. New England Patriots fans pined for the current FOX Sports analyst to make his return to the football pitch, but that comeback never materialized. He finished his career with 521 receptions, 7,861 yards and 79 touchdown receptions.

As a future Hall-of-Famer and five-time Pro-Bowler, it’s a bummer we won’t be getting the return football fans have been anticipating and hoping for, but any Rob Gronkowski we can get on our TV screens and Twitter feeds is a good thin.

As one of the more fun-loving guys to ever come through the NFL, it should be a real treat to see Rob Gronkowski in another WWE event, no matter what capacity he’s used in.
