Wait, Is Logan Paul Actually Joining WrestleMania 37?
As the weeks wind down to WrestleMania 37, the WWE has indicated it hopes to make the event much bigger than last year's. This means big live fans, big matches, and of course, celebrities. Now, it appears that one celebrity of particular note in the fighting world may be getting involved in the big event, as Logan Paul could play a role in a matchup between two WWE superstars.
SmackDown fans may have heard Logan Paul referenced on the latest episode during a segment between feuding superstars Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Zayn and Owens have an upcoming match against each other at WrestleMania 37, and Paul will reportedly appear on SmackDown in the coming week to react to Zayn's upcoming documentary trailer about how he's been "robbed" by the WWE. A report from Wrestling Observer Radio has stated that Paul's role will stretch beyond that appearance and that he'll be involved in the two's match at WrestleMania.
At the moment, it's unclear as to what Logan Paul's role in the match could be. Typically, when celebrities are involved in WrestleMania, their roles can vary from ringside observer to guest referee and even a full-blown participant. Given Paul's recent stint in fighting, I would speculate he'll step in the ring at some point during the match in some way, and maybe even cheap shot Kevin Owens if the opportunity presents itself.
As of right now, the news that Logan Paul will be at WrestleMania 37 is unconfirmed, but the upcoming SmackDown appearance definitely lends credence to the theory. It's also worth noting the Sami Zayn has interacted on social media as of late, which only further pushes the narrative that the YouTuber-turned-fighter will be working with WWE:
Plus, if there's one thing the WWE loves, it's real-world fighters with a healthy amount of buzz around them. And while Logan Paul may not be on the same fighting level as folks like Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey, he's got a massive internet following that would likely tune in to see what he'd do in the ring. As for Paul, he could use the WWE exposure to further boost his fame and potentially secure the booking for some of the high-profile bouts he's been trying to get in recent months.
The news may not be officially confirmed yet, but I personally wouldn't be surprised if there's confirmation Logan Paul will participate in WrestleMania 37 sometime in the final two weeks leading to the main event. His appearance would definitely draw some eyes to the event and maybe even boost some Peacock subscriptions in the process.
With that being said, would Logan Paul's appearance at WrestleMania 37 be something you'd like to see?
