YouTube star Logan Paul has been on a meteoric rise in the WWE since his debut. His athleticism and natural heel charisma seem tailor-made for the WWE style. Using his athletic abilities, he has become one of the best celebrity wrestlers in the history of the WWE.

These abilities were on full display in a one-on-one match against Ricochet, the best hi-flyer of WWE. Paul and Ricochet had built the match upon their epic dual cross-body slam on each other from Royal Rumble earlier this year. Paul enjoyed the bout and then dropped some major revelations about his future in WWE after the match.

While speaking on the podcast, Paul said, “People really responded to our match and Ricochet is so good. The guy’s so good. He made it easy to look good and it was a fun match, and I’m interested to see how this conversation continues and my WWE career story arc happens with this boxing weaving in, you know? Because I wanna hop back and forth. I don’t know if it’s ever been done.

The Maverick was referring to his Summer Slam match against Ricochet, which went viral just like he predicted. He also appreciated Ricochet’s effort in the match, which made all the tough spots look easy. The part-time WWE superstar continued by saying that he will be returning to the boxing ring soon and would like to be engaged in both wrestling and boxing at the same time. 

As per his knowledge, nobody has done it so far. Though there have been wrestlers who jumped from UFC or MMA to the WWE, nobody has performed in both fields simultaneously.
