Why Logan Paul May Be the Greatest Celebrity to Ever Perform Inside a Wrestling Ring
By ROBERT GUNIER
WWE fans have been left stunned by the performance of YouTube sensation Logan Paul, who has been in the company for less than two years. After being betrayed by The Miz following their victory at WrestleMania 38, Paul defeated him at SummerSlam 2022, displaying how impressive his moveset had become.
Impressed by Paul’s in-ring prowess, WWE booked Paul to face Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel 2022. Paul suffered his first defeat at the hands of Reigns, but the match proved that Paul had become one of the greatest celebrities to make a transition into pro wrestling.
Paul sold each offense by Reigns brilliantly, displayed athleticism through high-flying moves, even after tearing the MCL and ACL in his right knee halfway through the match. Paul is different from other celebrity wrestlers because he has shown an insane amount of growth in his in-ring skill and has dedicated himself in a way few other celebrities have done before.
