Logan Paul, the former United States Champion, appeared this week at the WWE RAW Netflix Premiere at the Inuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. He debuted at WrestleMania 38 in 2022 and quickly faced top stars like Roman Reigns, Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio, and The Miz.
The promotion recognized his potential after his first year in wrestling. In 2023, Paul won the United States Championship by defeating Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel. He held the title for 279 days, becoming the third-longest reigning US Champion in WWE history. However, he lost the title to LA Knight at WWE SummerSlam.
After that loss, it was announced that Paul would be drafted to RAW during the transfer window. Moving him to RAW during WWE’s Netflix era shows that the promotion sees a lot of potential in him. Recently, his former rival and tag team partner, The Miz, made a bold prediction about Paul’s future in WWE.
The Miz’s bold claim: Logan Paul is WWE’s future face
Ahead of RAW’s premiere on Netflix, The Miz appeared on NBA Today, where he was asked about the potential crossover between NBA players and WWE stars. He was specifically asked about NBA sensation Victor Wembanyama, noting his impressive height and potential as the new face of the NBA.
When it came to the promotion, The Miz compared Wembanyama to an upcoming superstar who could be the face of the promotion, pointing to Logan Paul. The Miz mentioned how Logan Paul has brought significant attention to the promotion.
He stated, “I think of WWE, and I think of a person who’s an up-and-coming superstar who could be the face of WWE. I’m thinking Logan Paul. Oh, people might not like this, but I brought in Logan Paul. He has literally brought so much attention to WWE and himself. He has done an exceptional job inside the ring. So, Logan Paul.”
The Miz is a Grand Slam Champion in the promotion. He believes Logan Paul could become the face of the promotion. It’s a big compliment from a future Hall of Famer for Paul. Now that Paul is part of RAW in the Netflix era, it will be exciting to see what plans the promotion has for him.
