Logan Paul is set to take on Ricochet at today’s SummerSlam premium live event, marking another high-profile match in his ongoing collaboration with WWE. Since joining the company in 2021, Paul has become one of the biggest celebrity partnerships in WWE history. In a recent interview with Stephen A. Smith, Paul discussed the impact he has made during his time with WWE and revealed an interesting tidbit about his signing.
According to Paul, he was one of the last superstars to be signed by Vince McMahon before the former chairman announced his “retirement.” In the interview, Paul shared McMahon’s words of encouragement after his first match:
“Your future is here,” McMahon told Paul backstage. The significance of those words from McMahon is not lost on Paul, who recognizes the weight they carry. He expressed his belief that if he were to fully commit to WWE and give his all, he could potentially become the face of the company.
However, Paul acknowledges that his fate in WWE ultimately lies in the hands of the fans. He understands that some may perceive him as arrogant, cocky, or conceited and may view him as an outsider in the industry. Despite this, Paul remains confident in his abilities and his desire to become WWE Champion if he chooses to pursue that path.
The upcoming match between Ricochet and Paul is just one of the marquee matchups on the stacked SummerSlam card. The event also features highly anticipated bouts such as Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso, GUNTHER vs. Drew McIntyre, and Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler. To see the full card, click here.
