Logan Paul recently issued an open challenge to box NFL players, with him betting $1 million. After a while, Le’Veon Bell and Brieden Fehoko stepped up to the plate, and Paul had even drawn formal contracts to fight them next weekend.

However, just in the nick of time, ‘The Maverick’ received a phone call from someone at WWE informing the 30-year-old that the company wouldn’t allow him to box any NFL player.

As could be seen in the following clip, the person whom Paul was speaking to on his phone mentioned the risk of the Vision member picking up an injury should he box not one but two athletes. The older of the Paul brothers tried convincing the WWE rep by saying that he’s fine with taking a cut in his pay, as he was confident about making $2 million off those fights he was yearning for.

Despite the offer, the host of the IMPAULSIVE podcast got reminded about the ongoing WrestleMania season, and there’s no way WWE would let him put his health at peril. The former United States Champion had to swallow that pill and eventually agree that his loyalty has to be with WWE and he wouldn’t do any extracurricular activities without their blessings.

As much as he wanted to box, Logan Paul reaffirmed that he has to honor his full-time job after understanding the rationale behind WWE keeping him from boxing at this point in time. ‘The Maverick’ later took to X and iterated that his bosses don’t want him to indulge in any side quests.

The social media megastar said he’s “too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums.” Paul also tagged Le’Veon Bell and Breiden Fehoko for giving them their 15 minutes of relevancy. He quipped that they could now resort to being broke and retired. At last, ‘The Maverick’ stated that he’s going to be present at every episode of Raw.

What could be the expected WrestleMania 42 direction for Logan Paul?

After having his Vision stablemates succumb to unfortunate injuries, Logan Paul is leading the charge with Austin Theory playing second fiddle to him. Last week on Raw, Theory took on Jimmy Uso in a singles match. Paul got involved in it and eventually caused a disqualification with him and Theory ganging up on ‘Big Jim’ until Jey Uso arrived as the backup.

‘The Yeet Master’ had brought crutches with him to fend off the Vision members, which The Usos were ultimately able to do. The reigning world tag team champions stood tall over Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Earlier in the night, Jimmy Uso attacked Theory backstage after Paul Heyman was loaded into an ambulance after he got assaulted by Seth Rollins.

‘Big Jim’ has a firm belief that The Vision has something to do with ambushing Jey Uso on SmackDown a night before the Elimination Chamber. It has yet to be unearthed, but WWE could do it in the weeks to come to set up a tag team title showdown between The Usos and Logan Paul & Austin Theory.

While this match could main event an episode of Raw, some added personal vendetta might take it to the WrestleMania 42 card. Logan Paul got blasted by a returning Seth Rollins inside the Elimination Chamber. ‘The Visionary’ stomped ‘The Maverick’, which led to his exit from the match.

It appeared as if Rollins would be Paul’s WrestleMania opponent. However, since the fans have already seen them have their WrestleMania match in 2023, WWE could prevent some fan backlash by taking a different route for Rollins at ‘The Grandest Stage of Them All’. Who knows if Brock Lesnar steps up to Rollins to avenge the latter’s ambush of Paul Heyman?
