Logan Paul is a well-known figure both to WWE fans and to the greater masses. He is an actor, an amateur boxer, a podcaster, and a YouTuber who has had many brushes with fame for both good and bad reasons during his career.
In WWE, The Maverick has been a different animal entirely. While still controversial and smug, these attributes benefit him, and it has led to Logan Paul becoming an incredibly talented performer, which almost nobody expected.
Paul won the United States Championship last year. His 273-day reign was recently ended by LA Knight at SummerSlam 2024. So, what’s next for the social media sensation?
Andrade is an incredible pro wrestler. He started his career off in Japan but has had success across different promotions. Even in WWE, Andrade is a former NXT Champion, a former United States Champion, and the reigning Speed Champion.
El Idolo returned to WWE earlier this year and embarked on a winning streak in singles and tag matches. The streak ended last week, as Santos Escobar defeated him in a Number One Contender’s Match for the US Championship, thanks to interference from Carmelo Hayes.
Logan Paul could see Andrade’s rapid ascent and subsequent loss and draw parallels between himself and the former United States Champion. This could lead to The Maverick mocking or even attacking Andrade in an attempt to make himself seem superior, which will inevitably lead to a series of big matches between the two.
#3. He could turn babyface on WWE SmackDown
Logan Paul being controversial and annoying has worked out tremendously for him. He knows how to play the villain perfectly and does so both in WWE and outside of the company alongside KSI, Jake Paul, and his other influencer friends.
Still, Logan doesn’t always have to play the villain. It was just around two years ago when Paul was a babyface in WWE. He even feuded with Roman Reigns and challenged the Original Tribal Chief for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title as an underdog hero.
There is a chance Logan could show up on SmackDown and turn babyface again. He could realize his past mistakes and admit LA Knight was the better man at The Biggest Party of The Summer. This could then slowly lead to the YouTuber becoming a good guy again.
#2. Logan Paul could help Grayson Waller betray Austin Theory
A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory) is a despised team on Friday Night SmackDown. Despite being hated, they have been successful and are former WWE Tag Team Champions.
Despite their success, however, tension seems to be brewing between the two. Austin Theory is regularly put down by or pushed into the line of fire by Grayson Waller. Many suspect that Theory will eventually grow tired of it and turn babyface.
Instead, Austin may be forced into it by Grayson Waller and Logan Paul. The Maverick has had a professional relationship with both men, so this would be a shocking betrayal. From there, Logan and Grayson could potentially unite to chase tag team gold.
#1. He could join Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline to stop Roman Reigns
The Bloodline saga has taken several unexpected turns this year. Solo Sikoa took over the heel faction after Roman Reigns lost to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. The Street Champion subsequently booted out Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman and added Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu to his Bloodline. The self-proclaimed Tribal Chief repeatedly called out Roman Reigns during the latter’s absence.
Roman Reigns finally responded at SummerSlam 2024, as he made a stunning return during the Bloodline Rules Match between Solo and Cody Rhodes at The Biggest Party of The Summer. The Original Tribal Chief laid out his former Enforcer, enabling The American Nightmare to retain the title. Last week on SmackDown, Reigns decimated Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
Unfortunately for Roman, he has made a lot of enemies over the years, and one particular foe could come back to bite him. Logan Paul and Roman were rivals in the past, and this could lead to The Maverick uniting with Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline. With Roman being a lone wolf at the moment, Paul can get his sweet revenge on the man who bested him in Saudi Arabia in November 2022.
