Logan Paul potentially returning to WWE with controversial new look
The WWE Universe continues to speculate on the return of Logan Paul. After a major championship loss at SummerSlam, followed by a much bigger win in the form of fatherhood, Paul is still on hiatus but preparing for his in-ring return. Word now is that Logan may return with a racy new look.
The Maverick has not wrestled in 88 days. Paul's first WWE United States Championship reign ended at 273 days when he was dethroned in his hometown by LA Knight. However, Logan and partner Nina Agdal welcomed their first child 57 days later. Next Monday will mark one year since Paul used brass knuckles to win the U.S. Championship from Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel, and he continues to receive flak for wrestling just seven matches since then.
Paul has been teasing his WWE return as of late. The Ultimate Influencer interviewed Liv Morgan on Impaulsive this week, and they discussed the sexualization of pro wrestlers at one point. While it wasn't clear just how serious he is, Logan revealed interesting plans for his comeback look.
"I'm thinking about really embracing my sexuality when I come back," Logan Paul said. [From 26:36 to 26:39]
Morgan asked Paul what he had in mind. Co-host Mike Majlak mentioned a Speedo, and Morgan asked if this was true.
"Something... something like that. Basically more skin. [Liv suggested speedo or shorts] Probably... yeah. Yeah," Logan Paul said. [From 26:41 to 26:44]
Morgan continued and suggested Paul wear boxers or get his nipples pierced. The 29-year-old quickly spoke up and claimed to have pitched this idea before.
"I've thought... I pitched that to my friends! They all said no, and I've done it before," Logan Paul said. [From 26:52 to 26:55]

Liv then imagined the pain involved in taking a bad front bump with that kind of piercing in. The WWE Universe may be in luck, as Paul was discouraged by Majlak multiple times from wearing a Speedo or boxer shorts in the WWE ring.
Bill Apter recalls meeting Logan Paul at WWE PLE
Bill Apter is widely regarded as the most influential journalist in pro wrestling history. The 79-year-old NYC native remains very active in the business and has worked as Sportskeeda Wrestling's Senior Editor since December 2021.
WWE SummerSlam 2024 was set to be a big night for hometown star Logan Paul, but he lost the United States Championship to LA Knight. Apter met Paul for the first time while at the big event and revealed how the meeting went during Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted show.
"By the way, I met Logan Paul for the first time in Cleveland. I got a chance to just chat with him casually. What a nice guy! Really a really nice guy. Very welcoming. Just for a guy that allegedly makes all this money and has these millions and millions of followers, he is just really down to earth so Logan Paul, if you are watching this, good guy," Bill Apter said.

SummerSlam marked Paul's third appearance at The Biggest Event of the Summer. The 2023 edition opened up with Paul defeating Ricochet, and the second match of SummerSlam 2022 saw Paul defeat The Miz.
