Logan Paul has become a staple on WWE, successfully transitioning from the world of influencing and social media to the ring.
Other influencers have followed suit, and while they haven't become full-time wrestlers, they have been involved in various segments on shows.
Speaking to Robert Griffin III on Outta Pocket, Seth Rollins weighed in on influencers in wrestling.
"I have mixed feelings on it. I think there is a place for it. Wrestling is still not the most mainstream thing in the world, and I still think there is a bit of an audience that discredits what we do. Any time you can bring more eyes to the business, it’s very helpful. Especially Logan and some of these streamers, they bring younger eyes to the business. They bring kids to the business. That’s our bread and butter. Families, kids, those are the people where you hook them when they’re young and they are fans for life. There is some use to them. It comes at a price and a trade off because there are only so many spots available. When you have someone like Logan Paul and you’re going to pay him a lot of money, is that worth it to you for what it’s going to bring in, his audience, compared to what you’re going to lose in time, equity, and energy into say a prospect. There is a delicate balance that needs to be found there. Logan is different, and when you have a Travis Scott or IShowSpeed, they’re doing one offs or little bits, if that adds to the mainstream attention, it’s totally fine," said Rollins.
