WWE’s Monday Night RAW came to TD Garden just one day after the retirement of New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. It didn’t take long for the 29-year-old’s name to come up, but Boston fans won’t like what was said.
Lio Rush took a blatant shot at Gronkowski while talking trash to Finn Balor.
“You should have just quit while you were ahead,” Rush said to Balor. “You really should have. Now you’re going to be forced to leave the game as a beaten, broken, hot piece of garbage like Rob Gronkowski.”
Of course, this was met by a barrage of boos from the TD Garden crowd.

Many have speculated Gronkowski will find a post-football career in WWE. If that comes true, we may have found his first rival.
