Logan Paul is returning to WWE Raw on January 6, 2025, when the show debuts on Netflix. After his brother Jake Paul’s big fight with Mike Tyson, Logan aims to replicate that success in WWE. But there’s one problem: he previously said he retired from wrestling after becoming a father.
Logan Paul’s last match was at SummerSlam, where he faced LA Knight to defend his United States Championship. He lost, ending his 273-day title reign, and he hasn’t been in WWE since. Recently, on his podcast, ‘Impaulsive,’ Logan said he retired from wrestling, mainly because he became a dad.
But during the WWE Raw Netflix kickoff in Stamford, Connecticut, Logan unexpectedly made a comeback to WWE. The crowd of 400 fans booed him, but Logan played his role as an antihero. He then sent a bold message.
Logan Paul has been moved to the Raw brand ahead of its debut on Netflix and has declared himself "the future WWE World Champion."

The YouTube sensation said, “Here’s the message to the entire WWE roster, everyone watching back there, everyone watching at home, because I know you’re watching. If you have something that I want, I’m going to take it. I’m not asking permission. I am going to take it from you. You are looking at the future WWE World Champion and his name is Logan Paul.”
GUNTHER responds to Logan Paul’s WWE World Title dreams
At the Netflix Kickoff event, Logan Paul said he wants to be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. GUNTHER, who is the current Heavyweight Champion, isn’t taking this lightly. He made it clear he’d enjoy crushing Paul’s dream of winning the title.

They also invited ‘The Ring General’ to the kickoff show. Targeting Logan Paul at the event, he stated, “If Logan Paul thinks he can walk in here and take this away from me, if he ever makes it to the top of the line to challenge me for the World Heavyweight Championship, it will be my duty and my pleasure to slap that stupid smirk out of his face.”
