Logan Paul Explains "Trifecta" That Made WWE Contract Make Sense
WWE's signing of Logan Paul generated a ton of media coverage for the company, and the social media sensation turned sports entertainer recently revealed why he has chosen this particular career path. Vince McMahon seems to be moving the federation further away from professional wrestling and closer to a spectacle. Paul and his millions of followers play into that vision perfectly.
Paul, of course, made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 in a tag-team match. He partnered with The Miz to take on the father-son team of Rey and Dominik Mysterio. The 27-year-old looked like a natural, playing to the crowd and receiving some of the loudest boos of the weekend by impersonating Eddie Guerrero before nailing a picture-perfect frog splash. Following the bout, The Miz wiped Paul out with his skull-crushing finale finisher, which appears to be leading the two to a singles match at SummerSlam.
