Fans Concerned About Logan Paul’s January Boxing Return as WWE Upstart Gives

His younger brother Jake has been raking in the moolah and gaining pre-eminence as far as show-biz boxing goes. But for Logan Paul, the switchover to boxing was relatively uneventful. A draw and a loss against British Youtuber KSI, followed by a non-scorer exhibition against Floyd Mayweather, left much to be desired.

Logan Paul’s Pro-Wrestling Debut

That said, he moved to professional wrestling in April 2021 along with Canadian pro-wrestler Sami Zayn in WWE SmackDown. Then, in February this year, Logan paired up with another wrestler, Michael Gregory Mizanin, or The Miz, in WWE Raw.

But the duo turned against each during WrestleMania 38. Signing up a formal contract with WWE in June this year, Logan turned down the offer of a truce from The Miz.

Hell-bent on extending the rivalry with his former friend, Logan got his chance during the SummerSlam. Beating up The Miz, he raised the bar and challenged Roman Reigns. An official announcement in September confirmed the clash during the upcoming Crown Jewel.

Held in Saudi Arabia at Riyadh’s Mrsool Park on November 5th, the slam-bang event saw Roman Reigns getting the better of Logan Paul in a twenty-five-minute contest.

There was more to it when Logan revealed the injuries received from the match. Confirming on tearing up the right knee’s medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), he added on the likelihood of injuring the meniscus too.

Fans saw an injured Logan’s pic on Twitter. Comments and reactions followed – a few airbrushing, a few putting a spin on the mint-fresh wrestler.

Few disparaging comments followed by admiration of his efforts.

Fans were keen to know the fate of upcoming matches.

Some deeper thoughts…

It needs to be added that Logan’s energy and overall robust performance were welcomed and received widespread appreciation. More so, he kept on going against an established wrestler despite sustaining injuries.

Asked why he took to WWE, he replied – “Passion, when I did WrestleMania, I had so much fun. All my friends had fun, we were all smiling. It was awesome. I was looking at the clips, ‘I can’t believe that was me. Those were big jumps.’ Business, it’s smart, they pay well. WWE, it’s a big organization. Media, it’s a show. It’s great performance and entertainment.”
