Unlikely WWE Star Joins The Vision On Raw (WWE News)
Seth Rollins is out, but someone else is very much in following Raw's main event.
It looks like Logan Paul just became the latest member of The Vision on Monday's episode of Raw. There's still way more of the story to tell, but WWE boss Triple H and his creative team have seemingly decided that Paul is the ideal replacement in the group for injured centrepiece Seth Rollins. Events following the main event of this week's flagship certainly suggest that's where the booking is going.
Logan ran in just as CM Punk was being manhandled by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Initially, it was semi-implied that Paul was there to help the babyface, but that was never going to be the case; Bron and Bronson were having their fun after fighting to a double countout with Punk and (his Saturday Night's Main Event opponent) Jey Uso.
Natural villain Paul raced out and cracked Punk with his brass knuckles before staring down a confused Paul Heyman and handing him the weapon.
Earlier in the night, Logan had confronted new World Heavyweight Champ and Raw's main man Punk about a possible title shot in the future. The Vision then rushed out, and Paul did try to help fend them off. Of course, that didn't really mean anyone was surprised when he went after CM later in the show to side with Heyman and pals.
It remains to be seen whether or not Logan will become a full-time member in The Vision, but it sure seems like that's where WWE and Triple H want to take things during the final few months of 2025.
Opinion: Paul Becoming Latest 'Paul Heyman' Guy Makes Sense
Paul has been a sensation since bursting onto the WWE scene and working his very first wrestling match at 2022's WrestleMania 38. There, he teamed with The Miz to take on Rey and Dominik Mysterio. 3 months later, he wrestled his first singles bout vs. Miz at SummerSlam. By November, Logan was challenging kingpin Roman Reigns for the WWE and Universal Titles over in Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel.
The fact he's worked just 24 matches in his pro career is remarkable, because Paul is really good in-ring. He's willing to take risks, brings eyeballs with him wherever he goes, and he's grown more and more comfortable on the mic as time progresses. On paper, he's the perfect 'Paul Heyman Guy'.
A generation ago, Heyman was burned by fledgling stars who were never going to be on his level. Think Curtis Axel and Ryback. Neither had the charisma to go with Paul E's own personality. No, that's not the worst thing in the world for a manager-wrestler dynamic, but Heyman is at his best when clients can meet him halfway. He isn't a miracle worker.
Brock Lesnar was a generational talent from the day he debuted on TV, and the likes of Punk, Reigns and Rollins are all huge stars in their own rights. So, it was easier for Heyman to slot in next to them. Currently, he's doing wonders for wrecking ball pair Reed and Breakker. It's easy to see things working out well if Logan is his next full-time project.
This could be a match made in heaven.
