Ex-WWE champion claims he's retired
A former WWE United States Champion recently declared that he has retired from in-ring competition. The star last appeared on TV at SummerSlam 2024.
At this year's Biggest Party of The Summer, Logan Paul put his US Title on the line against LA Knight. The Maverick had previously won this coveted championship at the 2023 Crown Jewel by defeating the legendary Rey Mysterio.
Paul successfully defended the title against the likes of Kevin Owens and Randy Orton until he was dethroned by The Megastar at SummerSlam in Cleveland, Ohio. Recently, the 29-year-old WWE star made a shocking claim about his in-ring future.
On his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Logan Paul claimed he has retired. He ruled out any possibility of appearing at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, prioritizing his responsibilities as a father. However, his co-host Mike Majlak further added that the former US Champion is taking some time off.
For those unaware, The Maverick and his partner, Nina Agdal, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Esmé Agdal Paul, in September 2024.
"No brother, come on I'm retired. I'm a dad," he said. [From 55:12 to 55:14]

Logan Paul comments on disrespecting WWE Hall of Famer
Following Mike Tyson's recent boxing match against Jake Paul on Netflix, Logan Paul seemingly issued a challenge to the Hall of Famer. The Maverick recently discussed his interaction with The Baddest Man on the Planet.
On a previous episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast, the former WWE United States Champion recounted the incident with Mike Tyson, admitting that he would likely have reacted aggressively if provoked.
"I didn't know that. I really think I would kill him. Bro, it's not like I find a way, but it's just me. I just thought I was an innocent bystander. I love Uncle Mike [Tyson], but I'll kill you, Mike, and I don't want to do that. I shouldn't have cussed; that was mean. That was mean, bro," Paul said.
