The one-year contract of Logan Paul with WWE expired following his appearance at WrestleMania 39. The YouTuber-turned-wrestler confirmed yesterday in a tweet that he has extended his WWE contract by two years.
Logan made his professional wrestling debut only a year ago. Nonetheless, the internet influencer accomplished a lot and acquired a significant following in just one year. The Maverick has established himself as one of the most promising additions to the WWE roster.

Paul demonstrated his immense star power and wrestling prowess in just a few ring appearances. Hence Logan’s contract renewal was inevitable, but like most of his other activities, it sparked controversy.
What is the unexpected twist with Logan Paul and his contract extension update?
Logan announced that his contact with the professional wrestling organization has been expanded by uploading a photo of himself with the Chief Content Officer of WWE. The internet was quick to notice parallels between this picture and his original contract signing picture as soon as the elder Paul brother released the photo.

This has led to an absurd ambiguity about whether Logan actually uploaded a photoshopped image. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon appeared in the original image. Surprisingly, Stephanie wasn’t present in the image from yesterday, as if she had been deliberately removed. In addition, it appears that the colors of Logan’s jacket and Prime’s bottle have been altered.
Logan had a few outstanding squared circle performances in a single year that stunned wrestling fans. From the tag team matches at WrestleMania 38 through the one-on-one match with Roman Reigns, the undisputed WWE Universal Champion. This year saw a thrilling matchup at the Royal Rumble versus Seth Rollins and, finally, a legendary entrance at the WrestleMania Goes Hollywood.
All of this occurred within a year, but it brings up the issue of why Maverick would go to such lengths as to modify a photo and write about extending his contract. Considering the YouTube star’s fame and influence, there was a good likelihood that WWE management would be eager to reach an agreement on a new deal with Logan.
Some people are saying I photoshopped my new contract from the first time I signed with the WWE.
That is untrue.
As you can see, my jacket is a different color, Stephanie McMahon is no where to be found, and Prime is a different flavor pic.twitter.com/0A4VxopNNi
