Logan Paul puts major WWE stars on notice following roster move
Logan Paul is back stirring up controversy in the WWE Universe. The social media celebrity appeared at today's RAW on Netflix Kickoff event at WWE HQ in Stamford, CT, where a massive roster change for the new year was revealed. Paul himself made a few controversial statements at the event, including one bold warning to multiple superstars.
The Maverick debuted for World Wrestling Entertainment in April 2021 with no prior wrestling experience, then made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, teaming with The Miz to defeat The Mysterios. Paul's third wrestling match was an Undisputed Championship against Roman Reigns, and in his eighth match, he captured the United States Title from Rey Mysterio. The 29-year-old only defended multiple times and lost the gold to LA Knight at SummerSlam in the third defense, ending his reign at 273 days.
Paul has expressed interest in becoming a World Champion in the Stamford-based company in the past. Now he's apparently fired warning shots at current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and current World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.
Today, during the RAW on Netflix kickoff event, the controversial influencer cut a heated heel promo and promised he would take something in the locker room if he wanted it. He also admitted to being a bully and issued another bold warning.
"Yeah, I am a bully, and the WWE is my playground. So, look... I'm not here to take part, I'm here to takeover, your approval means nothing to me. Whether you love me or hate me, I don't care because you're still watching and you will stay watching because you're a spectator, and I'm a star, and I promise, everyone in the crowd watching and everyone watching at home, you are looking at the future WWE World Champion, and his name is Logan Paul," he said.
Paul then tossed the mic as the fans loudly responded. The Maverick has not wrestled since losing the United States Championship to LA Knight at SummerSlam on August 3.
