YouTuber Logan Paul made headlines this week by defeating Dillon Danis in a boxing ring. Therefore, the 28-year-old is currently trying out multiple things and is doing great at all those things. Earlier this year, Paul signed a multi-year contract with WWE as a performer following his stellar match against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles.

Initially rumored to have signed one of the most expensive contracts on the roster, The Maverick was thought to have a deal comparable to those of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. However, it was later clarified that he isn’t among the top five highest earners in WWE. With WWE’s merger with Endeavor, fans are curious if there have been any alterations to Logan’s contract under the new management.

Under the new regime, WWE made a lot of budget cuts, releasing around 20 superstars from the roster. This included veterans like Shelton Benjamin and Dolph Ziggler. However, this did not affect Logan Paul, as he continues to be under his contract. Currently, there are no evidential reports on Paul’s existing contract with WWE.

While the exact details of The Maverick’s contract remain undisclosed, speculation suggests it’s worth millions over multiple years. His entertaining matches have helped bring WWE into the mainstream. Given this impact, it wouldn’t be surprising if Logan Paul is earning a significant sum from his contract.

Logan Paul’s response, “See you soon,” suggests he may be returning to WWE. He was last seen at SummerSlam where he defeated Ricochet, and rumors speculate he will face Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Given the event’s history of star-studded matches, fans anticipate Logan’s participation.

Last year, Logan Paul faced Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Although he could not defeat Reigns, the 28-year-old put on a spectacular performance in his third match ever in the WWE ring. Therefore, he won the appreciation of a lot of veterans of the industry due to his performance.
