Logan Paul shares six-word demand he made to WWE boss Triple H for his next year in wrestling and teases alliance with rising star

Influencer turned grappler Paul has made a triumphant start to his career as a professional wrestler with WWE, recently reigning as the company’s United States Championship.

Proving adept at both the physical aspect of being a wrestler and the pantomime-style character work that makes for a good on-screen bad guy, or ‘heel’, Paul is presenting himself as the complete package.
One notable stick some have beaten him with, however, is that while he regularly appears on WWE programming week to week, he wrestles less frequently.
He has wrestled in a total of just 15 matches at the time of writing, making him a notable attraction at the likes of WrestleMania and SummerSlam.
The 29-year-old wants that to change, however, and has made that much clear to his boss, Head of Creative for WWE Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque.

“I’m looking at looking at the playing field and seeing what my options are, and I feel like you are the star of the group.
“I call it as I see it, and I know me and you, as some sort of team, some sort of tag partner, we could really take over this industry – but I don’t know about the other guys!â€
Paul strayed back into ‘character’ mode with Mysterio to discuss how their unlikely link-up might play out in future WWE storylines.
He went on to say: “I don’t think there would be a more dominant duo in WWE than you and I.
“Triple H, [this is] something for you to think about. Ponder it.
“They’ve even got a name for us on Twitter, bro. America’s Most Wanted.
Paul first signed for WWE in 2022, making his debut at WrestleMania during that year alongside The Miz against Mysterio and his father, legend Rey Mysterio.
He went on to hold the US title for the better part of a year before his defeat to LA Knight, which he described as being the most painful wrestling match of his career so far.

The influencer and business entrepreneur has enjoyed many high-profile moments and feuds over the last couple of years, having challenged both Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the company’s top male title.
Despite being just 27, Mysterio is, by contrast, one of WWE’s most utilised wrestlers.
Debuting in 2022, he has already featured in the better part of 300 matches, winning the tag team championships with his dad, before going on to feud with him and win NXT’s North American Championship.
