Don't expect to see Logan Paul on a WWE tour of Egypt.

Should WWE opt to run events from Egypt in the future, it appears the ever-controversial Logan Paul will have to sit out any such shows.

Speaking on his latest YouTube vlog, Paul revealed that he's apparently banned from Egypt. As the former United States Champion explained, he wanted to join fellow YouTuber MrBeast on a trip to Egypt, only for Logan to be told that the Egyptian government has banned him from the country.

Per Logan Paul himself:

“MrBeast just uploaded a new video exploring the pyramids or something. And I love the pyramids. So, I was like, ‘Jimmy, can I come?’ And he was like, ‘For sure, dude.’ Then a week later he called me and was like, ‘Dude, unfortunately, the Egyptian government said that you can’t come, otherwise we can’t come.’ And I was like, ‘Wait, what? I know I've pissed people off, but the Egyptian government? I’ve never even been to Egypt. Why can’t I come to the pyramid, Jimmy?’ He said, ‘I don’t know, the government specifically said you are the only person that cannot come on this trip.'"

If this is indeed true, it's not the first time that Logan Paul has had issues with a country, with the social media star previously receiving huge backlash after posting a video in December 2017 from the infamous "suicide forest" near Mount Fiji that showed the corpse of a man who had taken his own life. While Paul has since stated how he is not banned from Japan, he has said he'd only return to the country if he received an official invite.

As for any chances of WWE running any future shows in Egypt, that can't be ruled out, particularly with how the organisation has been exploring more and more international markets in recent years. That said, WWE has only toured Egypt once before, that being a three-date live event run back in 2012 that was headlined by World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and featured the likes of Big Show, Alberto Del Rio, Kaitlyn, Ted DiBiase Jr., Darren Young, Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler, and Jinder Mahal - all talents, bar Sheamus, who are no longer with WWE in any capacity.

Interestingly, that short Egypt tour did include Cody Rhodes, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Natalya, R-Truth, Wade Barrett, and a certain Seth Rollins who was still a month away from making his main roster debut as part of The Shield.
