Logan Paul reportedly negotiated a deal with WWE to become a babyface
According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, Logan Paul had negotiated becoming a babyface by the end of his WWE run.
The social media star was swerved by his partner, The Miz, after their victory over The Mysterios as The A-Lister took out his partner with a Skull Crushing Finale. It was later reported that the the betrayal from The Miz was done to potray Paul as a babyface.
“I didn’t know this, I didn’t know it, but it makes perfect sense," said Meltzer. "Do you know why they did the Logan /Miz thing at the end [of their match at WrestleMania] that we couldn’t understand? Because when they made this deal with Logan Paul to do this angle, part of the deal was when the angle was over [Paul’s] gonna be babyface."
