Logan Paul, best known as a YouTuber and a content creator, has now signed with the Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment, aka WWE. The news broke out on Thursday, June 30, when Paul took to his Instagram account to share two pictures of him signing the contract with Stephanie McMahon, the interim CEO, and Tripe H, former WWE star and current vice president of global talent strategy and development. 

The 27-year-old star, who has previously boxed with Floyd Mayweather, KSI, and more, is all ready to work the wrestling federation on a real level. He has previously appeared in WWE alongside The Miz in Wrestlemania 38, which took place in April 2022. They both teamed up to go against Rey and Dominik Mysterio and eventually won. Paul found his way to WWE last year also but he never went inside the ring. Announcing the news he posted the pictures with a simple caption saying, "Just signed with the @WWE." Paul can be seen smiling in one picture while Triple H and  McMahon look over at him signing the contract in the second. Even Triple H complimented the talent on Twitter saying, "I think it’s safe to say @LoganPaul shocked the world with his abilities as a guest at #WrestleMania … just imagine what he’ll do as a @WWE Superstar. Congratulations and welcome!"

Logan Paul signing with WWE is a 'good move'

Paul is as controversial as they come, but that hasn't stopped him from succeeding in his life at such a young age. One user wrote, "You had a great match at WM. At the end of the day, we're all content creators, and this is a huge win, although WWE is going through some ish right now, it makes sense. Congratulations." Another user pointed out how this deal is going to be beneficial for both the parties saying, "TBF, this was a good move in WWE’s part. They were testing him out in his previous matches to see if he would be any good. He did well in those matches, & look where it’s got him. Let’s not forget of how much of a social media following this man has & what that’ll do for the E."

One user wrote, "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." Another user wrote, "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."

One user called Paul the king of sports entertainment, subtly, saying, "Logan Paul is a natural entertainer bro, that man got more charisma than liteally 99.9% of wrestlers AND he can go in the ring. What a signing by WWE." Another user wrote, "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."

A few were flummoxed at WWE's move as one person tweeted: "AEW is signing all the WWE guys and WWE signing everybody but wrestlers what going on here?" One mused Funny how wwe get rid of over 88 talented super stars from different show but has money to sign some random YouTube guy." A critic of the move said: "If they have to bring in Logan Paul looks like WWE is getting desperate."
