Making it official. Celebrities have a history in professional wrestling and have been around for a very long time. This has certainly been the case in WWE, where celebrities have appeared over and over again throughout the years. WWE has done quite a few things with them over the years and it can be fascinating to see what they can do. Now the company has one around full time.
Social media personality Logan Paul has confirmed that he has signed with WWE. According to Ariel Helwani, the deal is for multiple years to compete at several premium live events. There is no word on when his first match or appearance will be, but on Monday Night Raw, Miz said that Paul will be teaming with him at Summerslam on July 30. Paul has made several WWE appearances, including wrestling at this year’s WrestleMania 38.

Logan Paul has signed a deal with WWE, @LoganPaul just announced on Twitter.
Per sources, it’s a multi-year deal to compete at multiple events per year.
No return date set but could be next month at Summerslam. MIZ would make a lot of sense.

Additional details per sources:
Deal includes an undisclosed number of premium live events across 2022 and 2023.
He’ll likely, I’m told, have his first big appearance at SS but could be on TV before that.
He signed his deal yesterday.

Opinion: This is an interesting way to go, but Paul has already shown that he has a knack for wrestling so maybe he can get even better with the full time treatment. If WWE sees that much potential in him and can lock him in on terms they both like, why not see how well it can go? I’m curious to see how this goes, but you never can tell how well it is going to go.
What do you think of Paul? How far can he go in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
