Why Logan Paul Signed For WWE
Logan Paul unpacks decision to sign WWE contract ahead of Raw return and Miz showdown.
Logan Paul will make his first full WWE appearance since WrestleMania 38 on next week's Raw, as he hits the red brand ahead of a rumoured SummerSlam 2022 (30 July) match with partner-turned-rival The Miz.
This comes in the wake of news that WWE had signed the YouTuber to a multi-year, multi-match deal. Paul, who teamed with Miz to defeat Rey and Dominik Mysterio at 'Mania, has now unpacked this decision on an episode of his IMPAULSIVE show.
The 27-year-old claimed that his decision to ink a WWE deal came down to passion, business and media. In his own words (h/t Figure Four Online/The Wrestling Observer):-
"For me, there's a trifecta that I look for that decides what I do. When I can mix passion, business, and media all into one thing, I'm like ultimate me, happy place. So passion, when I did WrestleMania I had so much fun. I just had fun, all my friends had fun. Business, it's smart, they pay well. WWE, it's a big organization. And media, it's a show, it's great performance and entertainment. So, I'm excited for this journey and I am well aware of how powerful of a launch pad it can be for whatever I want to do in life."
Miz turned on Paul following the aforementioned WrestleMania win, hitting the debutant with a Skull-Crushing Finale. The full-timer has since tried to talk Logan into reforming their alliance, though some kind of bout against 'The A-Lister' looks likelier for Paul at this stage.
