Dana White’s bizarre relations with the Paul brothers have not been hidden from combat sports enthusiasts. The UFC CEO has had tensions with the younger brother Jake, whereas he has been on great terms with Logan Paul. The proof of this smooth-sailing relationship is the fact that both bigwigs are business partners. Given their chemistry, and the nature of the deal that brought WWE and UFC under one roof, could we see Logan Paul winning the US title at Crown Jewel?

Logan Paul is locked and loaded for his upcoming United States championship match at Crown Jewel. With one of the toughest foes in the form of Rey Mysterio against him, winning the match would surely be an uphill climb for the ‘Maverick’. But don’t forget, last year in the same PLE, Paul made things difficult for the leader of The Bloodline. Despite pushing the reigning WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns to the limit at Crown Jewel 2022, the YouTuber has yet to win WWE gold. And it might be the best time for the 28-year-old to get his hands on a title.

Moreover, Paul just returned last month from a boxing match after he defeated Dillon Danis. And straight after winning the bout he said he wants to win the United States Championship, a challenge Rey Mysterio accepted. Well, his being awarded a title shot has sparked discussion among the fans. While some think it was the boxing triumph that awarded him a push, others believe it was all because of his good relations with UFC CEO Dana White that the TKO merger helped him get a title shot. But due to this, could he win his first-ever title in the WWE?

Dana White’s influence could help Logan Paul reach the glory

The UFC CEO, Dana White, has surely been on great terms with Logan Paul. The YouTuber turned wrestler, or, one can say, businessman, came into a partnership with another renowned YouTuber, KSI, to lead the inception of their cash cow, which is PRIME Energy Drink. Furthermore, the brand went on to become the official drink for the biggest MMA promotion, as Paul joined hands with White for a collaboration. Since then, the fans have witnessed a top-notch association between the two.

Even a few months ago, White sat in on an interview with boxing legend Mike Tyson. There, he seemingly hailed the WWE superstar with his statements. He said, “The brother is f**king brilliant, I mean, the brother’s f**king raking in big dough. Logan Paul is a businessman. This kid’s really making some big moves, and KSI too. Those kids are making real money and doing their thing.”

As evident from the statements, it is clear what the 54-year-old thinks of Logan Paul. Well, this could be a possible reason for the big push Paul might receive in the Stamford-based promotion. White is an essential aspect of the TKO merger. Also, the fact that Vince McMahon has lost creative control of the company might lend this theory some credibility as well. Given that WWE and UFC have merged under one umbrella and Vince McMahon no longer has any creative influence, Dana White and Ari Emanuel, who is the CEO of Endeavor, might team up to push Logan Paul and enhance his prospects. Moreover, there is another reason that Paul might win the US championship.

WWE might want a heel champion till WrestleMania

Logan Paul has made an indelible mark in the WWE. The 28-year-old showcases his high-flying antics in such a way that no one could even acknowledge that he didn’t come from a pro wrestling background. ‘The Maverick’ is currently portraying a heel persona in his storyline against Rey Mysterio, who is a babyface. In a traditional heel vs. face showdown, both are aiming to present an intense showdown to the fans. Paul might even be displaying dominance at Crown Jewel based on his unexpected, behind-the-back attack on Rey Mysterio.

Nonetheless, creatively speaking, WWE has been thriving since the TKO merger. Given this, the promotion would prefer that a fresh enforcer win the US title. Paul may therefore have a chance to win his forthcoming battle. However, this might not be WWE’s primary consideration.
Paul might win the title and hold the title until WrestleMania XL because he is currently a heel. This step would not only raise the anticipation for the US title storyline among the fans but could also raise the stature of a guy like Paul, who has never won a title in the WWE.

His reign as a heel US champion might have the potential to showcase an intense championship battle at the grandest stage of them all. Similar to what WWE has done with guys like Roman Reigns or Gunther. The fans keep a close eye on the booking of both champions and consider WrestleMania an event that could present a title change. That is how the promotion could raise the anticipation of the fans heading towards ‘Mania. And with the wicked persona of Paul, they could make it possible, with fans eager to see who will dethrone him.

WWE might take the help of Logan Paul to raise the stature of the US title under TKO

Since the inception of the United States strap in the WWE, it has not been recognized as a big title. One of the best times came for the title when John Cena won it at WrestleMania 31. With the weekly open challenges to entertain the fans, Cena did a lot and developed the significance of the title. WWE under TKO might be aiming to help the US strap gain that same recognition. And that could be possible if they have a workhorse champion like Logan Paul. And to make that happen, Paul might be on his way to becoming a full-timer in the WWE.

His presence on social media and celebrity status could help the US title regain the same stature that it had when John Cena held it in 2015. However, since Paul is a heel, we might not see weekly open challenges, but regular title defenses could come from the 28-year-old. Thus, Dana White’s influence can be a trump card to not only enhance the future of Logan Paul as a champ but also to help the US title regain its significance. So, it is possible a huge push concerning Paul is underway. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
