- Logan Paul has turned himself into a household name across the world.
- The former YouTube star made his pro wrestling debut this past year at WWE WrestleMania.
- Now he’s signed a contract with the company that appears to indicate more matches are on the way.
Logan Paul must have been feeling a little bit left out.
Younger brother Jake has been in the news left and right of let. Whether it’s challenging UFC fighter Nate Diaz or feuding with boxer Tommy Fury, Jake Paul’s name has been everywhere.
Now it’s Logan’s time to shine.
The elder Paul brother made headline news this week when he announced he’d signed a contract with pro wrestling giant WWE.

Paul made his debut in pro wrestling back in April when he teamed with WWE superstar The Miz at WrestleMania 38 to take on Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik.
Wrestling fans were wary of Paul, but he absolutely crushed all expectations in his in-ring debut.
In a match with four people at WrestleMania, Logan Paul was better than everyone not named Rey Mysterio.

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.

Logan Paul signing a multi year deal with WWE is a great move.
He was one of the highlights of Wrestlemania, and if they keep him in a position where he is an attraction, and less of him taking a prime spot away from someone who actually deserves it, I don’t mind it

I think people forget how good Logan Paul was at WrestleMania. #WWE

At 27 years old, Paul is considered young for a pro wrestler and his athleticism is evident. The contract is likely for a limited amount of matches. But Paul could be an absolute superstar in the ring if he chose to be.
The young superstar has the athleticism, charisma and understanding of the industry. And there’s no doubt both Paul brothers know how to work a crowd.
WWE fans were pretty excited following the announcement.
If you think Logan Paul signing with WWE is a bad move, you're a bad businessman.

I'm on board with Logan Paul signing with WWE. At 'Mania he proved he's not only a natural but also invested in what he's doing too. I can't believe I'm tweeting this but there we go
