Logan Paul is set to make his in-ring debut WrestleMania 38 when he teams with The Miz to battle Rey & Dominik Mysterio.
Paul was involved at WrestleMania 37 in the storyline with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Outside of wrestling, Paul is a YouTube celebrity who has done exhibition boxing bouts, even taking on Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Speaking to Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT, Paul discussed his relationship with Vince McMahon.
“Vince is like a step-dad to me. Does that make sense? He’s like the guy you have a good relationship with, a firm handshake, ‘how you doing? I respect you, I’m glad to have you here’ and it’s just a really positive relationship,” Paul said with a smile. “He’s welcomed me with open arms and he’s been excited every time I go out there and perform and yeah, it’s been positive. He’s awesome. If I continue my involvement in WWE, hopefully I can bring stuff to the table that switches it up. I’m an innovator and I’m always here to pitch ideas and at the end of the day I’m creative. If I can get more involved in the behind the scenes stuff with Vince’s approval, that would be fun.”
When asked if a full-time WWE run was possible, Paul didn't dismiss the option.
“To be honest, bro… Probably. Yeah, probably. It just has to make sense with my schedule. I’m doing so much stuff and I have to really be careful where I allocate my energy. This happened with boxing. At first I did it, I tried it out and I loved it, so I kept doing it. Today was the first day – because we had training today – I was like ‘oooh yeah, this is f****** fun.’ So again, I fall in love with this sport and I soak in the energy at WrestleMania and feel like there’s a future for me here, man, I’m gonna have to run with it. But it’s not my decision, it’s up to the fans. Either love me or hate me – that’s great. But if they’re indifferent to me, we got a f****** problem and I’ll probably get out of this sport," he said.
