WWE United States Champion Logan Paul was recently interviewed by The Daily Mail following his victory over Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel 2023. He discussed a number of topics, including winning the United States Championship, his plans for professional wrestling, his relationship with Triple H, and more.
Below are some highlights from the interview:
On winning the United States Championship:
“It’s crazy,’ Paul said. ‘I really don’t know how to comprehend what my life has become. I grew up in a city where things like this didn’t really happen. I believe in myself, I work my a** off, and next thing I know I’m fighting Rey Mysterio for the US championship and I won it.
‘It feels amazing. I’m shocked and I want to stay humble but f*** that, it’s so much more fun to be arrogant about it! This [belt] ain’t leaving my side. This is one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. I’m gonna take over this industry bro. I’m gonna be the best and I’ve got to keep working really hard.”
On his future plans in wrestling:
“Something is so appetizing about the idea of doing the best I can in this industry and I know the best I can is to become the face of the WWE, is to become the undisputed universal champion.
‘I had an opportunity to do it last year at Crown Jewel against Roman (Reigns) and I did amazing. I’m still a rookie, I’ve been doing it for a year and a half, so imagine if I dedicate a little time to it.
‘Imagine if I go to the performance center in Orlando and train with the best? I have access to the best resources. It might be something I have to do, I’m all about legacy, and perhaps my legacy is to be made to WWE.’
On this relationship with Triple H:
‘I’m so stoked that Triple H and the company believe in me like they do,’ Paul added. ‘Hopefully, I can make them proud and I know I will. He’s super receptive to my ideas. I’m a content creator – a keyword creator. I like to make stuff, I come up with ideas. When I pitch my ideas, he’s all ears all the time.
‘We bounce ideas off each other, we go back and forth and usually land on stuff that’s pretty epic. It’s super collaborative and I like that they give me the freedom to be who I am in their company.”
