After Jake Paul broke streaming records with his fight against Mike Tyson, Logan Paul can’t let his brother have all the spotlight and announces he is stepping back into the ring for WWE Raw when the show makes its highly anticipated Netflix debut on January 6.
Logan Paul’s WWE Return
Logan Paul, who joined WWE in 2022, has been on hiatus for much of the year. At a WWE event in Stamford, Connecticut, Paul was reintroduced by WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Raw GM Adam Pierce. Emerging to boos from the crowd, Paul addressed both the audience and the WWE roster:
“Here’s the message to the entire WWE roster, everyone watching back there, everyone watching at home, because I know you’re watching. If you have something that I want, I’m going to take it. I’m not asking permission. I am going to take it from you.”
Paul ended his speech by telling the crowd, “You are looking at the future WWE World Champion and his name is Logan Paul.”

Netflix’s Big Bet on WWE
Netflix’s $5 billion investment in WWE programming marks the streaming giant’s boldest move yet into live sports entertainment. After the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight drew record-breaking viewership, Netflix is betting that Logan Paul can bring similar attention to WWE Raw.
At a recent press event in Los Angeles, WWE’s Triple H expressed confidence in Netflix’s ability to deliver, even addressing concerns about streaming stability as a lawsuit has been filed against Netflix following complaints the Jake Paul vs Tyson fight failed to deliver.
“If it blinks a couple of times, and we do 60 million [viewers], I’m good with that,” he said.
Ok I’m unretired

Logan Paul Brothers vs Conor McGregor?
Rumors have even swirled about Logan facing UFC legend Conor McGregor in a boxing exhibition in India. At the WWE event, Logan Paul teased the match up, and McGregor tweeted he has entered into a preliminary agreement to fight Logan Paul.
“Every single one of my matches is a banger. Think about it. Mike Tyson wants to fight me. Conor McGregor wants to fight me. Of course they do, a payday with a Paul brother is a bucket list item for most all of these washed-up fighters.”
The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.

I have agreed.
I will then seek my return to the Octagon.
