Logan Paul signed a multi-year deal days after WrestleMania 39 loss

The Maverick squared-off against Seth Rollins at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles at WrestleMania 39. While he managed to sneak in his business partner and fellow YouTube star KSI, Rollins was able to counter their moves and pick up the win on the first day of the two-day marquee event.

Just days after his loss, Paul took to social media to announce the renewal of his contract with the WWE. While details didn’t emerge in the beginning, apart from the fact that he had inked a multi-year deal, it was later stated that Paul was taking home as much cash as Brock Lesnar.

Rumors soon started to circulate about the status of his contract- the most popular one being $15 million for three years, which translates to $5 million a year. That is the amount of money top stars like Roman Reigns and The Beast Incarnate make. However, they were debunked later.

As per a report from Ringside News, that quoted an anonymous insider, Logan Paul’s deal wasn’t worth as much as the hype. “… it was also confirmed to us that $15 million is still above what Logan Paul is likely making from WWE,” the report said. According to the insider, Paul is not even in the top five employees on the payroll at the moment.

Meanwhile, the WWE has gone through massive changes since Paul and the promotion signed their bond. Has the Endeavor acquisition led to any change financially? Let’s find out.

Is Logan Paul Making more now under TKO?

In April, just days ahead of Paul’s contract renewal, Vince McMahon shocked the world as he announced WWE’s sale to Endeavor- the parent organization of the UFC. It was revealed that the two giants- WWE and UFC- would merge to form a new $21.4 billion company.

In September, that acquisition and merger was complete, and TKO was formed. Just days after the formation, WWE released as many as 20 talents, including the long serving Shelton Benjamin and Dolph Ziggler.

Paul, however, still remains a part of the company. It is, however, unlikely that his contract has been upgraded. No such news about the development, if any, has been made public as of yet.

For now, he’ll don the boxing gloves and look to earn a victory against Danis. WWE fans would also be hoping for Paul’s comeback soon, as his matches have been fairly entertaining to watch.
