Logan Paul initially signed for WWE in 2022
Paul’s first contract with the WWE was for one year. That deal saw him appear as a performer on a handful of shows, including some major WWE pay-per-views.
His first ever match was at last year’s WrestleMania 38, where he wrestled in a tag-team match alongside The Miz versus a team made up of Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio.
At last year’s SummerSlam, Paul wrestled his former partner The Miz in a solo match. He then wrestled Roman Reigns at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. Paul suffered a knee injury in that match.
He returned to action at the Royal Rumble in January, entering as the 29th participant in the titular match.
At WrestleMania 39 last month Paul wrestled Seth Rollins.

Recently Paul claimed he had a deal to fight former UFC fighter Nate Diaz, but Diaz pulled out of the deal.
