Nick Khan explains Logan Paul’s journey into WWE: ‘Mature young man, certainly athletic’
WWE President Nick Khan explains how Logan Paul got his break in WWE.
In 2022, Logan Paul became actively involved in WWE. Starting with a non-wrestling role alongside Sami Zayn, Paul soon transformed into an in-ring superstar upon debuting alongside The Miz. Now one of the most popular names in the industry, WWE President recently opened up in detail about Paul’s entry into the Stamford-based promotion. In a detailed conversation on the ImPaulsive podcast, Khan said,
“When the executive who first brought Logan Paul up to me, Triple H and the founder of the company said ‘hey we should give him a shot, he wants to wrestle’, the first thing we always look for, and it applies to Logan who is now full-time with us performing at an extremely high level, it applies to Bad Bunny, it applies to people who have come in, Tyson Fury.”
“First of all they have to be a fan,” Khan added. “If they’re just doing it because, as younger folks would say, they’re chasing clout, we don’t want ’em. If you love it, we’re open to the conversation.”
Further speaking to Logan Paul himself on the podcast, Khan heaped praise on the former United States Champion and openly called out his star power.
“And once you sit with Logan, you know he has star power, you saw everything he had done. The advantage from this point of view, and the disadvantage from you or someone like you’s point of view, is you got to grow up on camera.”
“I like the way you responded to any perceived mistakes you made in life, that’s what people are supposed to do when they’re young, they’re not supposed to have all the answers to this stuff,” Nick Khan continued. “So from our point of view this was a mature young man, certainly athletic, if he comes to down the Performance Center and does what we think he can do, there’s all the upside in the world. So far everyone has been right.”
Logan Paul is now involved in a feud against CM Punk while also enjoying his alliance with Paul Heyman and The Vision.
Logan Paul ‘thinks’ he is a full-time member of The Vision
Following his Survivor Series victory with The Vision, Logan Paul was openly asked about his status with The Vision on his ImPaulsive podcast, when he responded,
“I think so. I think so. I understand that this is a business where, in a heartbeat, there can be betrayal and backstabs. Look, this industry is cutthroat, and I know people probably expected me to do some scummy shit with my current team, and I always got my eyes peeled, but I like the group of guys I’m currently aligned with in the Vision. We get along really well, not wrestling related, just behind the scenes.”
