Logan Paul is one of WWE’s fastest-rising stars today. Despite having a relatively short career, The Maverick has already shared the ring with several legends and captured the United States Championship. However, he frequently faces criticism from both fans and peers, with many accusing him of being handed opportunities rather than earning them.

Recently, in his YouTube vlog, Paul addressed the criticism with a scathing response. He stated that everything he does—whether inside or outside the ring—grabs attention and draws eyeballs. The Maverick added that fans pay to see him, whether they want him to win or lose; the bottom line is, they want to see him.

In your simple brains, do you think I’m here because I go viral? You see the numbers and you think that’s why I’m here. No. The reason that I’m here, the reason that I’m given these opportunities so early in my career is a) because I’m fantastic, but b) because I’ve been getting those impressions for a decade now.

That, he explained, is exactly why he’s consistently featured in high-profile matches and presented as a poster boy in WWE. Logan Paul even fired back at his critics, questioning whether fans were paying to see them. If not, he said, they should stay silent and enjoy his work in the ring. It was a bold and outspoken message from the YouTuber—one that perfectly aligns with his cocky persona in WWE.

Recently, the 30-year-old faced backlash from the WWE Universe after being handed yet another opportunity at the World Title. Many fans felt that other full-time stars in the locker room were more deserving of a shot against Jey Uso than a part-timer like Logan Paul.

Nevertheless, WWE went ahead with the decision, booking him to face The Yeet Man at Saturday Night’s Main Event—a clear indication of the company’s strong trust in him.

Logan Paul suffered a hard-fought defeat against Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, he received unexpected assistance from John Cena during the match, aligning himself with the WWE legend in a surprising new alliance. In response, Cody Rhodes issued a challenge to Paul and Cena for a tag team match at Money in the Bank next month, vowing to put an end to their mission of disrupting WWE.

The American Nightmare has announced that he will team up with World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso for the highly anticipated tag team match. While the exact stakes have yet to be revealed, a victory for Paul in this bout would undoubtedly elevate his standing in WWE. With SummerSlam on the horizon, a strong performance could very well catapult The Maverick into a main event spotlight this summer.

Initially, fans were eager to see John Cena face Logan Paul in a one-on-one showdown. However, with The Franchise Player’s recent heel turn, that singles match now seems unlikely. As such, it will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for this unexpected alliance between The Maverick and The Cenation Leader moving forward.

Goldberg praised Logan Paul for his amazing in-ring work

Logan Paul has already impressed numerous WWE legends with his in-ring performances, with many predicting a future World Championship reign for The Maverick. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg shared his thoughts on Paul, offering his perspective on the rising star’s potential.

Speaking on The Claw podcast, the former Universal Champion expressed his respect for Paul’s ability to adapt so quickly to WWE’s demanding schedule. He praised the 30-year-old for excelling in a business he wasn’t originally a part of, noting that Paul is outperforming many talents who have been doing it for years.

Logan Paul. To be able to come in and not be someone from the business and be able to pick it up so quickly and be innovative at the same time. I was new. I was from the outside. I get it. I understand. That’s what makes it such an accomplishment.

The WCW icon added that, although he doesn’t know the YouTuber personally, from a professional standpoint, Paul has the potential to go down as one of the greats. Goldberg emphasized how impressive Paul’s rise has been, especially considering the short amount of time he’s spent in WWE so far.
