Paul, who transitioned to YouTube after getting a following on Vine, had a controversial history, but it seemed many people enjoyed watching him. “Logan Paul is a natural entertainer bro, that man got more charisma than literally 99.9% of wrestlers AND he can go in the ring,” one person wrote. Other people, however, were not as excited. “Well, this will certainly shake up WWE’s image as a company that no longer cares about Wrestling but instead chases what was hot and popular a decade ago,” one person noted.

Paul boxed Floyd Mayweather and participated in WWE Smackdown” and “WrestleMania.” He will also be featured as a WWE superstar. Along with now being with WWE, he has a podcast called “Impaulsive” that draws in a lot of views, and sometimes controversy. His brother, Jake Paul, is a boxer as well. “After Logan Paul’s WrestleMania showing, that’s objectively a huge get for WWE. Even if he does one or two matches a year, he’s a big name to have on the show,” a wrestling reporter Sean Ross noted.
