By all accounts, Logan Paul has taken to sports entertainment like no celebrity before him, becoming a reliable big-match performer who delivered repeatedly in 2023.

Paul has wrestled just eight matches in his career and at times looked like a savvy veteran rather than someone who had their first match at WrestleMania 38. But more than that, Logan won the United States Championship at Crown Jewel, capturing a singles titles in just his fifth singles bout. That’s the fewest professional wrestling matches for someone to win one of WWE’s active singles titles in company history.

Going further, only one man has won a singles title in WWE’s 60-year history with fewer professional matches under their belt: Shane McMahon. Shane-O-Mac won the European Championship in just his second match, though he won it in a tag match.

Paul might not be your typical WWE superstar, but it’s impossible to deny his accomplishments this early his in in-ring career.
