Here is everything you need to know.
Logan Paul signs multi-year deal with WWE
Logan Paul took to his Instagram page to share the news with his fans on 30th June Thursday.
The YouTuber uploaded two photos of the time he visited WWE’s headquarters to sign the contract.
The pictures featured WWE’s interim CEO and chairperson, Stephanie McMahon, and her husband Paul “Triple H” Levesque who is a former WWE star and executive vice president for global talent strategy and development.
He outlined the post with the caption, ‘Just signed the WWE contract.’
The 27-year-old star supposedly signed a multi-year deal with WWE for an undisclosed number of ‘premium live events’ across 2022 and 2023.
Logan Paul takes a dig at The Miz
Logan Paul made heads turn when he teamed up with The Miz in Wrestlemania 38 back in April.
They formed a tag team to fight against the father-and-son team of Rey and Dominik Mysterio. Regardless, the match ended with the unlikely duo Paul and Miz winning it.
However, suddenly towards the end, Miz betrayed Paul by hitting him with a Skull-Crushing Finale (The Miz’s finish move).
Additionally, it seems like Paul is ready to continue his storyline with Miz.
While signing the contract, Paul mentioned in a video, ‘So look, I’ve just signed my contract – it is a big deal. But after all, it is my contract, so I’m going to make a little addition here.’
However, later scrawls ‘I’m coming 4 u @Miz’ on the back of the contract.
Paul continued, likely addressing Miz, ‘Yeah, you read that right, assuming you can read.’
According to sources, the YouTuber will supposedly fight Miz for his debut pay-per-view appearance. It is reported that it will be held at SummerSlam in late July.
