It seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to the Gronkowski family! On Sunday night, former NFL icon Rob Gronkowski showcased his party spirit alongside his father during a lively WrestleMania celebration.
The famed tight end took center stage at Gronk Beach in Las Vegas, a vibrant afterparty for WrestleMania 42, held in collaboration with DoorDash. The event saw the 36-year-old pull out all the stops as he celebrated the WWE spectacle in true Las Vegas fashion.
Captured exclusively by the Daily Mail, Gronkowski was spotted making his way onto the stage, where he unleashed a series of energetic dance moves. Microphone in hand, he bounced across the stage, working the crowd into a frenzy with his infectious enthusiasm.
Adding to the revelry, a replica Lombardi trophy—symbolic of Gronkowski’s illustrious football career—surfaced from the crowd, embodying the spirit of the night’s festivities.
With the microphone clasped in his hand, Gronkowski bopped up and down across the stage as he hyped up the crowd.
A replica Lombardi trophy – something Gronkowski is well-acquainted with – was produced from somewhere in the crowd.

However, Gronkowski was left hilariously dismayed it was a replica from the Denver Broncos’ victory over the Atlanta Falcons, instead of one of his many from his days with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
‘Wait what the f*** is this?’ he exclaimed. ‘Broncos 34, Falcons 19? F*** this Lombardi trophy!’
He then spiked the trophy, sending it crashing to the stage floor and sparking shocked gasps from the audience.
At one point, the four-time Super Bowl winner was seen whipping his shirt off and proceeding to parade around shirtless in front of the DJ booth.
Watching on from the side was his dad, Gordon, who despite his 65 years of age, embraced the wild fun.
He jokingly admitted to the Daily Mail that Gronkowski definitely inherited his inner party animal from him and not his mom as he opened up on the ‘incredible’ evening.
‘He was a wild man,’ Gordon said of his son during his childhood, speaking in partnership with DoorDash and Medium Rare.
‘He was fearless, he was a wild man, and to see him up here doing all this, I wasn’t one bit surprised. He was always the first one in the pack to do everything. He was fearless and it doesn’t surprise me at all what he’s doing.’

Gordon even joined his son on stage at one point in the evening, putting that wild side on full display.
‘It’s not my first time,’ he said laughing. ‘I’ll tell you, though, I didn’t have the happy feet yet. I’ll be [back] up there before the end of the night.’
Gordon observed his son’s wild antics from the side next to Gronkowski Jr’s girlfriend Camille Kostek.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model was seen waving a giant cardboard cutout of her NFL beau’s face before later joining in on the action with some raunchy dance moves.
At one point during the vibrant event, Gronkowski became embroiled in an impromptu wrestling match with Barstool personality Mike Katic onstage in front of the DJ booth.
And Gronkowski didn’t rule out ever making an official WWE appearance in the ring in the future.
‘I won’t ever rule anything out because I’ve done so many things with the WWE,’ he told the Daily Mail. ‘You know, in my past, I was a 24/7 champion.
‘They’re great people. I love working with them. They’re first class – everything I’ve ever done with WWE – so I would never rule it out.

‘But as of right now, nothing in plan, nothing in store. But like I said, I love teaming up with them in situations like this.’
Gronkowski also teased that his close friend and former teammate Tom Brady could be prepared to step into the ring and show his nemesis Logan Paul how it is done.
‘It makes sense because Tom and Logan Paul have been beefing for about two to three months now,’ the former tight end said.
‘I thought they were going to fight at the flag football game, but it just didn’t come to that situation, which is good. We didn’t need any fights on that flag football field.
‘It’s a friendly game, it’s a family game but I thought they would take it out here at WrestleMania, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s here, but I don’t know if he is or not.’
Gronkowski’s event served as the official afterparty of WrestleMania, sponsored by DoorDash.
Before the action got underway, the former football player was spotted on the Vegas strip interacting with fans.
In partnership with the delivery service app and Medium Rare, Gronkowski played a game with fans in front of the Fountains of Bellagio to see what they had in their bag with DoorDash vouchers being awarded as prizes.
