Logan Paul has making strides ever since his arrival in WWE and this win marks his biggest accomplishment in the promotion. He has been garnering praise from quite a few WWE legends owing to his performances and now has another name in his growing list of admirers.

Impressed by Paul’s athleticism, a former WWE Champion compared Paul’s meteoric rise to his own and Brock Lesnar.

Former WWE Champion praises the Maverick Logan Paul

Former World Champion and WWE legend Kurt Angle was invited to the True Geordie Podcast. In the episode, Kurt Angle discussed his addiction issues, the death of Benoit, and the future of YouTube star Logan Paul.

While praising Logan Paul, Kurt Angle said, “I’m literally impressed by his skills and I’m really happy for him. He just won the US title. I think that’s a great accomplishment for only wrestling your eighth match.” Logan Paul has shown great athleticism during many moments including Royal Rumble and his match against Ricochet.

Kurt Angle praised Logan Paul for winning the US title within eight matches of his WWE career, as the Maverick is a part-timer. When Kurt Angle debuted in 1999, he won the Intercontinental Championship after defeating Chris Jericho at No Way Out in 2000.

The Olympic Gold Medalist compared Logan Paul’s rise to the early days of his and Brock Lesnar. He further said, “But you know, he’s on that level with me and Brock. I mean he really is and I think if he continues on and he has more experience because he’s not quite experienced enough yet. I think if he gets more experience, he’s going to be really, really good and I think he’ll end up being a World Champion.”

Impressed by Logan Paul’s dedication and performance, Angle believes Paul can become a World Champion if he gains more experience. But will WWE ever pull the trigger on the social media star?

As of now, WWE does not seem interested in dethroning Roman Reigns while Seth Rollins continues to be the work-horse World Champion. Given WWE’s intent with the World title, it seems a distant possibility for WWE to hand over the World title to another part-timer.

Are you impressed by Logan Paul’s run in WWE till now?
