“Isn’t This the Guy That Was Hugging All Over Floyd Mayweather…”: Boxing Fans & Superstars at Crossroads Over Logan Paul’s WWE Career Move

The YouTuber turned boxer, Logan Paul, is going back to perform for the company but for a more permanent role. The social media star has signed a multi-event deal with WWE.

On Thursday, the 27-year-old took to Twitter and broke the news. He also shared his pictures of signing a contract at WWE Headquarters.

The majority owners of WWE, Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon were present to welcome the megastar. The former 14-time world champion also took to Twitter to praise this mega deal.

He wrote, “I think it’s safe to say @LoganPaul shocked the world with his abilities as a guest at #WrestleMania … just imagine what he’ll do as a @WWE Superstar. Congratulations and welcome!”

‘The Maverick‘ also shared this news on Instagram and caught the attention of stars like Ryan Garcia and rival turned business partner KSI.

“Been watching WWF/WWE for so years and to see you achieve this is legit unbelievable. Congrats,” wrote KSI.

Garcia also congratulated the Ohio-based wrestler.

This deal came forth after Paul’s appearance at WrestleMania 38 in April 2021. In a tag-team match with The Miz, Paul stunned the crowd and sparked a wave of applause in the jam-packed arena. The event turned out to be a great success and Paul’s team emerged victorious over the father and son duo of legendary Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio.

Interestingly, the showdown ended at a thrilling point as Paul’s teammate turned on him and shocked him with a seizing blow. That was the point when WWE Universe had discussed Paul’s return. However, a month later, finally ‘The Maverick’ himself made this announcement.

Since Paul has a large following on the internet so it also invited his fans to express themselves.

A fan wrote, “Isn’t this the guy that was hugging all over Floyd Mayweather instead of boxing like he was supposed to?”
