Logan Paul admits he could be tempted to join WWE full-time after his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38.
The controversial YouTube star will take part in his first official match in Dallas, Texas next month when he teams up with The Miz against father/son duo Rey and Dominik Mysterio, and he thinks his bond with Vince McMahon bodes well for the future.
He told talkSPORT: ‘To be honest, bro… Probably. Yeah, probably. It just has to make sense with my schedule.
‘I’m doing so much stuff and I have to really be careful where I allocate my energy. This happened with boxing. At first I did it, I tried it out and I loved it, so I kept doing it.’
He thinks something similar could happen with wrestling, although he admitted the crowd at the AT&T Stadium on April 2 and 3 will determine whether or not it’s the right fit.
‘So again, I fall in love with this sport and I soak in the energy at WrestleMania and feel like there’s a future for me here, man, I’m gonna have to run with it,’ he explained.
‘But it’s not my decision, it’s up to the fans. Either love me or hate me – that’s great. But if they’re indifferent to me, we got a f***ing problem and I’ll probably get out of this sport.’
Logan also noted how Vince has welcomed him into the WWE fold ‘with open arms’, and he already feels a close bond with the boss since he initially worked with the company in the lead up to last year’s WrestleMania.
He said: ‘Vince is like a step-dad to me. Does that make sense? He’s like the guy you have a good relationship with, a firm handshake, “How you doing? I respect you, I’m glad to have you here,” and it’s just a really positive relationship.’
Meanwhile, Logan’s tag team partner The Miz recently suggested he has the potential to do great things between the ropes.
‘I think after WrestleMania, a lot of people are gonna be like, “Hey, he could go full time if he wants,”‘ he told TMZ Sports.
‘Honestly, it’s up to him, and obviously it’s up to WWE. If he does well at WrestleMania, this could lead to something more.’
