10 DUMB WWE Signings (We Didn't Want To Admit Were GENIUS!)
1. Logan Paul (2021)
Here's another slice of humble pie if one wasn't enough.
Don't worry, this isn't someone throwing stones. The dude penning this piece was totally wrong about Logan Paul's value to WWE as well. He thought Paul was just another celebrity he didn't care about playing wrestler for a cup of coffee, but the truth is that...Logan is a natural. He's taken to this wrestling stuff like his name's Kurt Angle.
Paul surely has to be in the conversation for best "outsider" to ever break in from the mainstream. Plus, his celeb status brings in a ton of eyeballs to WWE from elsewhere. There's no doubting the size of his audience, or the power of even one social media post from the ex-United States Champ. That's why Trips put the midcard strap on him for a spell.
Any doubts surrounding his 2021 arrival have been blasted away by quality performance after quality performance. Paul has shown up well against The Miz, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Ricochet, Rey Mysterio, Kevin Owens, Cody Rhodes and LA Knight, and that's just his singles match haul.
What a surprise package.
