The Maverick will be sticking around WWE for a while.
As first reported by ESPN’s Mike Coppinger, Logan Paul has agreed to a new WWE contract that will keep him with the company for multiple years. Paul’s previous deal expired following WrestleMania 39.
“I feel incredibly blessed to have found something that I’m good at, at 28 years old,” Paul told ESPN. “And the fact that the organization believes I’m good enough to continue hopefully building this WWE legacy is mind blowing.”

Known for his millions of followers on social media and his “Impaulsive” podcast, Paul dabbled in boxing before trying his hand at pro wrestling last year. He immediately turned heads with his athleticism and natural aptitude, first in a tag team at WrestleMania 38 and later in a singles match with The Miz at SummerSlam 2022.
WWE raised some eyebrows by booking Paul in a title match against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel last November, but he performed well on that big stage too. He returned this year at the Royal Rumble, turning in a breathtaking aerial spot with Ricochet before appearing on night 1 of WrestleMania 39 in Inglewood, losing an entertaining bout — one that saw him inadvertently splash his friend and business partner KSI through an announce table — against Seth Rollins.
Paul and WWE have also leaned into his status as a polarizing figure, and he appears comfortable doing what it takes to draw boos from the fans. There’s also been speculation that his brother Jake, who has been even more devoted to his boxing career to date, might eventually get drawn into the pro wrestling fold at some point.
The only thing Paul hasn’t done is become a regular fixture on WWE TV, and one assumes that probably won’t change given his other business interests. Given his ability to pick up the craft while wrestling very part-time so far, that might not matter, as the sky appears to be the limit for Paul, like him or not.
