Logan Paul was signed by the WWE in June 2022. Immediately after his signing, he got into a feud with The Miz and had his debut solo match at SummerSlam. This was a perfect stage for Paul to show his skill to the WWE universe and he never disappointed. In addition to his great in-ring skills, he even executed a high-flying Frog Splash with The Miz on the commentator’s table, leaving everyone dumbstruck.

And in spite of The Miz putting up a great fight, Paul still convincingly won the match, thus proving that he is not just an internet sensation. But the real person to credit for his high-flying maneuvers would be the person who trained him to perfect such moves. We’re talking about Attitude Era legend Shane Helms aka The Hurricane, who in his hay day also performed such killer moves.

Ever since Paul got signed to the WWE, he was assigned to Helms who would train him at the WWE Performance Center. Shawn Michaels and Drew Gulak would also help train Paul in the following years. But it was mainly Helms who taught Paul all the in-ring skills that we see him execute so skillfully today. And Helms, who works with Paul even today, is in constant praise for his determination and strong work ethic. He gives Paul all the credit for the high-risk moves he performs in the ring and considers himself purely as the trainer. Helms even went to the extent of saying that Paul has been the easiest talent to work with in the WWE. Thus proving just one thing, that The Maverick is built for WWE greatness.

But apart from this, Paul is also trying to achieve success in the sport of boxing. In that conquest, he will be facing someone this weekend who got extra personal in the pre-match trash talk.

Irrespective of the outcome of that case, Paul will definitely want to put Danis in place for the disrespect he showed his fiancée on social media. The fight will be taking place at the AO Arena in Manchester, England.
