Paul was in an interview with Lance Pugmire of FightHype. In conversation, Pugmire asked him about his possible WWE aspirations. He asked, “We know you can box. But Logan Paul just went to WWE.

Paul responded by saying that he is currently only focusing on boxing. He said, “Right now I’m committed to boxing. You know I can’t risk flying off the top rope. And, ripping my shoulder out of the socket and then never being able to box again. So I’m way more focused on boxing right now.”

However, he also clarified that a potential WWE debut is not off the table. Paul said, “Maybe, eventually I’ll get into the WWE.”
