Paul seems excited to step into the WWE ring, once again lacing his boots. He believes this is something he has earned from his decade of hard work.
Why Logan Paul is excited to join WWE?
Logan Paul was on the IMPAULSIVE podcast recently, with his episode 334, and shared his thoughts on signing a WWE contract. He also explained bits of plans the company has for him this summer.
Paul said, “When I can mix passion, business, and media all into one thing, I’m ultimate me, happy place. Passion, when I did WrestleMania, I had so much fun. All my friends had fun, we were all smiling. It was awesome. I was looking at the clips, ‘I can’t believe that was me. Those were big jumps.’ Business, it’s smart, they pay well. WWE, it’s a big organization.”
He emphasized how WWE pays well and with this took a subtle dig at the UFC. His brother Jake Paul has been vocal for a long time regarding how Dana White pays less to small fighters. However, once White offered Logan to fight as he seemingly did not rule out the possibility of it in the future while being his guest on his podcast. He would have easily gone to the UFC to have a few exhibition fights, but he didn’t.

He claimed that with WWE he will be able to have a massive online presence which saw a decline for him lately. Furthermore, for Paul, this will be an opportunity for the YouTuber to represent the biggest brands in the world.
Is ‘The Maverick’ entering WWE as a heel or a babyface?
In the last appearances, they portrayed Logan Paul as a babyface while he was with Sami Zayn and was hell with The Miz. However, after the ‘A-Lister’ betrayed him, it was a double turn for Paul that night. When asked about being the heel or a babyface in his upcoming WWE run.
Paul said. “Go do the performances, impress the fans, and become that WWE character that is notorious or loved. I don’t know if I’m going to be a heel or babyface.”
