Logan Paul often garners criticism from the WWE Universe for getting an easy spot in the company without much effort from his side. The social media personality has other pursuits that don’t let him appear in the squared circle more than a few times a year.
But that didn’t stop the 29-year-old young star from making a name for himself in pro wrestling in a very short period. Paul made his debut at WrestleMania 38 alongside Miz to take on Mysterios and later faced his friend-turned-foe The Miz at SummerSlam that year.
WWE shortly offered him a spot against Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel. His latest feud took place at WrestleMania 39 against Seth Freakin Rollins, who exacted an on-point revenge on him on the first night of the biggest event. However, Paul, as usual, got enough recognition for his impressive delivery of moves during the breathtaking ‘Mania match.

Logan Paul thanked the regular wrestlers who gave him an opportunity to continue as a part-timer
The popular notion about the famous YouTuber again resurfaced before and after his WrestleMania match that says he tried to take the spot of one of the regular stars of the roster without moving into the full-time slot.
Paul recently weighed in on that while revealing his WWE schedule following a contract extension. Speaking on his Impulsive podcast, The Maverick noted, “I just feel kind of, not bad, but man, you have the weeklies who are really like actively building this organization every single week and I get to come in and capitalize on the goodwill that they’ve sacrificed their bodies for, again four times a year.”
Reconfirming his part-time status, he added, “By the way, I’m not going to stop, but for the wrestlers listening to this, I’m cognizant of it and I appreciate your hard work that I get to benefit off of four times a year.”
While there is no doubt regarding his continuing absence in the ring except for a few matches, it doesn’t necessarily imply that Paul is content being average on the roster.

It seems like Paul is eyeing the belt to be his next target in the Stamford-based company.
The company higher-ups evidently don’t have any plan to draw an end to Reign’s historic title reign any time soon, hence introducing a new world title could benefit a lot of stars. But how much exposure the new champion will get is subject to doubt.
