Watch: Rob Gronkowski makes dazzling SmackDown debut, cuts promo

Former New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski made a spectacular entrance to WWE SmackDown.

Rob Gronkowski knows how to make an entrance. And he cuts a pretty fair promo, too.

The former New England Patriots great appeared on SmackDown Friday as only he could. To borrow from Ric Flair, Gronk styled and profiled as he made his way to the ring before a crowd of none.

Once in the ring with friend Mojo Rawley and play-by-play standout Michael Cole, Gronk cut a promo, as they say in the wrestling business.

Could Rawley, who benefited from Gronk’s interference at WrestleMania 33 to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale, be setting his friend up by claiming he will watch his back? Nothing would be out of the question in the surreal world of sports entertainment.
