So far, WWE has announced three names who will compete at WrestleMania, but aren’t on the main roster – Pat McAfee, Logan Paul, and Johnny Knoxville.
Now, WWE wanted to know whose match fans are most excited about, but the idea backfired. The fans revealed that while some are looking forward to McAfee’s match, they don’t actually want to see Logan Paul or Johnny Knoxville.
It seems like the WWE Universe really wants the company to push the main roster Superstars to the top instead of focusing on celebrities.

Pat McAfee. Stop bringing Logan Paul back. No one asked for him the first two times.

How about an actual wrestler, and not some D list celebrities

Literally none of these, we do not want this shit, give us wrestling matches with wrestlers facing wrestlers, not dumb spectacles with wrestlers facing celebrities

None… not a damned one… celebs AT Wrestlemania is one thing… celebs taking spots from WRESTLERS is another thing entirely

Not 1. Simply Not 1. There’s far more 360 day employees that need the spotlight more than the occasional paid well celebrity. Wrestlemania. Where’s the actual Wrestling. It’s not Entertainamania yet?

However, WrestleMania always keeps some spots open for celebrities to entice the audience and bring them to the WrestleMania arena.

WWE has brought Logan Paul to WrestleMania for the 2nd time
Prior to WrestleMania 38, Logan Paul came to WWE just before WrestleMania 37.
He arrived when Sami Zayn was trying to expose WWE conspiracies and initially sided with him. However, Kevin Owens took down Zayn at WrestleMania 37, and Paul entered the ring to reveal he was actually on Owens’ side. Instead of listening to what Paul had to say, Owens executed a stunner on him.
That was the last time fans saw him until he came back in 2022. This time he’s siding with The Miz.
The Miz and Paul have teamed up to take on Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. This is the first time Paul will be a part of a match in WWE.
On the other hand, Johnny Knoxville is going up against Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 38 after feuding for a while. They’ve been at each other’s throats since before Royal Rumble 2022.
Finally, Pat McAfee is going up against Austin Theory at WrestleMania 38. Vince McMahon gave McAfee the chance to wrestle at The Show of Shows. After McAfee accepted, WWE revealed his opponent will be Austin Theory.
Considering all of the above are celebrity matches, there will be no title change. As a result, either challenger has an equal chance of winning the match.
