Backstage news on WWE's plans for Logan Paul on the road to WrestleMania
Fans might see YouTube megastar Logan Paul back on WWE programming before WrestleMania 39, as per the latest reports.
The social media megastar was last seen inside a WWE ring when he unsuccessfully took on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at Crown Jewel. In the aftermath of the event, Paul revealed that he had injured his leg. He made his debut in the company alongside The Miz at WrestleMania last year when they defeated the Mysterios.
According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), WWE is hopeful that Paul will be able to appear at the Royal Rumble on January 28. As to why they want him at the show, Sapp is uncertain at this time.
It's worth noting that PWInsider reported that the company wants an "all hands on deck" situation during Royal Rumble weekend, which would be an easy explanation as to why they want Paul in San Antonio.
There's always a chance that they want Paul at the event to set up his eventual match at WrestleMania 39. Sapp stated that the company is hopeful that he can start training for a future match soon.
