Rob Gronkowski appears to be recovering nicely from December back surgery. The latest piece of evidence for Patriots fans came at WrestleMania 33, where Gronkowski leveled wrestler Jinder Mahal in the ring.

On hand in the front row of the spectacle to support his friend, Mojo Rawley, Gronkowski became entangled in wrestling subplot when Mahal took his soda, drank a portion of it and poured the rest on the Patriots tight end. Gronkowski responded by removing his shirt, entering the ring, and charging Mahal after a considerable buildup.

The 27-year-old has been recovering from a back surgery he underwent in December. Because of the injury, Gronkowski was rendered out for the Patriots’ postseason run to winning Super Bowl LI.
