While the junior’s career is sitting pretty, Logan Paul, after trying his hands at boxing, has made a wise decision. The WWE was looking for a big kahuna. In Paul, they found someone to put against the best in business.

The brothers’ journey, till they changed platforms, was intertwined. Like Jake, Logan became popular through Vine, the Twitter-owned video hosting utility.

Shifting gears, Logan made his first appearance as a guest at a WWE event in April 2021. He formally emerged as a partner to The Miz in an episode of WWE Raw in February this year.

Later, during a SmackDown episode in September, he challenged Roman Reigns. The two eventually met at the Crown Jewel on November 5th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Reigns won the mega-bout, and Logan ended up with multiple injuries.

During the fight, Paul stood over the ropes and leaped onto Roman, lying on a table outside, “Saudi, this is what you wanted. You’re going viral Romy!” He streamed the sequence, which has now gone viral.

Perhaps the entire stunt could have gone down better with the WWE top brass.

Logan Paul’s Boxing Saga

In 2018, the brothers faced British YouTubing brothers KSI and his younger brother Deji at Manchester Arena. The White-Collar boxing match was an amateur event. But, all said and done, while Jake knocked out Deji, the story for Logan ended differently.

Come 2020, the world learned about Logan’s big bout with none other than Floyd The Money Mayweather. The scoreless spell went up to eight rounds. Most of the fans opine that Floyd never took the novice seriously.

Actor, producer, and screenwriter Freddie Prinze Jr. who used to write for WWE commented through his podcast, Wrestling with Freddie, “I hate that he [Paul] live-streamed his Frog Splash. I hate it so much. And I get that we’re all about getting inside now, and ‘you should get to feel it with me’ and all that. I just hate that it was in a world championship match. Maybe if it was on a ‘Monday Night RAW,’ that’s one thing. But when it’s for the title, how serious am I supposed to take your desire for the championship, if you’re live-streaming your frog splash off the top rope?”

After completing 18 years in the corporate sector, Jaideep decided to make a move out of the comfort zone and follow his heart's calling to becoming a writer. His understanding of Boxing began with Iron Mike's debut as an 18 year old in 1985. Like anyone and everyone else, he holds Muhammad Ali as the greatest, though his personal favorite remains the 'PacMan' Manny Pacquiao for his speed and sheer toughness.
