Jake Paul and Logan Paul discuss WWE aspirations
Logan Paul was first seen at a WWE event in April 2021 during Sami Zayn's segment. He later teamed up with The Miz to face Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio in a tag team match at WrestleMania 37 in 2022, where his team emerged victorious against the Mysterios.
Jake Paul, speaking to his brother on his podcast, expressed his desire to join WWE, but not as a fighter. Instead, the younger Paul brother revealed he wants a role similar to the one Paul Heyman has in the organization. ‘The Problem Child’ said:
“I would want to be your like Paul Heyman. I wouldn't want to like wrestle as much like I could do some shit, but I would want to be like your sidekick business man.”
