In a recent interview with ESPN, Logan Paul commented on the news that he has renewed his contract with the WWE, as well as his next goals in the company.
“I feel incredibly blessed to have found something that I’m good at, at 28 years old and the fact that the organization believes I’m good enough to continue hopefully building this WWE legacy is mind-blowing, and I’m incredibly grateful and incredibly blessed, and as long as I can keep putting on good shows man, I’m gonna keep doing this sport.
It’s hard to do that when you don’t have a long contract with a piece of talent, or you’re talking about putting a guy over who may not be there next year. The idea with this multi-year contract was to get really creative around the story that we’re telling as my professional wrestling career unfolds. Being the hyperambitious person that I am, I’m going for a belt. I wouldn’t have signed this contract if I didn’t think that I was capable of getting a WWE belt, I think it’d be the coolest thing ever, I’d love to have it on my resume, and I’d love to show every kid around the world who watches WWE that you can achieve anything.
I was worried that maybe I was too fragile for this sport, having a lot of self-doubts about my vessel and my body’s capability to withstand the type of damage that you take in this sport, you have to be durable to be a wrestler. After this WrestleMania, when I walked away unscathed, like I’m telling you unscathed, the next day I could have ran a half marathon, I got a lot more confident in my longevity in this sport.
There’s a way to do it, there’s a way to perform where you mitigate athletic risk, and I’m gonna find it, and I’m gonna go for the long haul, so now I have to actually be really good at this and take it serious and get creative in how I can make these lifetime moments that people never forget over and over and over again, so while it is definitely harder to impress and the WWE Universe is gonna be watching me very carefully and scrutinizing how I perform and how I grow as an athlete, I am excited for the challenge. I’ve always wanted my whole life to be the biggest entertainer in the world and WWE has given me a platform to do that, and so I’m gonna take these next years really seriously as a wrestler and hopefully continue breaking boundaries and doing the impossible.”
