Logan Paul talks Vince McMahon relationship, potential WWE future after WrestleMania
In an interview with TalkSport, Logan Paul spoke about potentially having a future in WWE past his match at WrestleMania 38.
The social media and celebrity boxing star will make his in-ring debut as he teams with The Miz against Rey & Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38 night one on Saturday, April 2. TalkSport asked Paul if he could see himself being in WWE full-time in the future after WrestleMania. Paul said that, depending on how WrestleMania goes and if WWE makes sense with his schedule, he thinks it’s probable.
To be honest, bro… Probably. Yeah, probably. It just has to make sense with my schedule. I’m doing so much stuff and I have to really be careful where I allocate my energy. This happened with boxing. At first I did it, I tried it out and I loved it, so I kept doing it.
Today was the first day — because we had training today — I was like ‘oooh yeah, this is f*cking fun.’ So again, I fall in love with this sport and I soak in the energy at WrestleMania and feel like there’s a future for me here, man, I’m gonna have to run with it.
But it’s not my decision, it’s up to the fans. Either love me or hate me — that’s great. But if they’re indifferent to me, we got a f*cking problem and I’ll probably get out of this sport.
This will be the second straight year that Paul has appeared at WrestleMania. At last year’s show, he took a stunner from Kevin Owens.
Paul also spoke about his relationship with Vince McMahon during his interview with TalkSport, saying that it’s like McMahon is a step-dad to him.
Vince is like a step-dad to me. Does that make sense? He’s like the guy you have a good relationship with, a firm handshake, ‘how you doing? I respect you, I’m glad to have you here’ and it’s just a really positive relationship.
He’s welcomed me with open arms and he’s been excited every time I go out there and perform and yeah, it’s been positive. He’s awesome.
If I continue my involvement in WWE, hopefully I can bring stuff to the table that switches it up. I’m an innovator and I’m always here to pitch ideas and at the end of the day I’m creative. If I can get more involved in the behind the scenes stuff with Vince’s approval, that would be fun.
