Next week’s Raw will serve as the go-home episode for the Royal Rumble. While WWE has yet to announce any major segments, former United States Champion Logan Paul will make his Monday Night Raw on Netflix debut, bringing much-needed star power to the show as the road to WrestleMania intensifies.

With a promo package aired on Monday Night Raw last night, WWE has officially confirmed the debut of Logan Paul. Though it’s unclear what The Maverick has planned for his first appearance on Raw, many expect him to announce his entry into the Royal Rumble match. There are also some speculations that he might confront Gunther amid rumors of WWE planning their WrestleMania match.

The Social Media Megastar’s last appearance was on Raw’s Netflix debut earlier this month. Despite the brief stint, Paul managed to spark significant controversy. In his event vlog, he directed racially insensitive comments toward WWE superstar Dragon Lee, which drew widespread backlash and criticism from fans and peers alike.

The last time Paul competed in a WWE ring was when he dropped his United States Championship to LA Knight at SummerSlam. He has not wrestled since then. If he enters the Royal Rumble next week, it will mark his second appearance in the coveted match. It will be intriguing to see how The Maverick’s return unfolds and what direction his WWE journey takes from here.
