Logan Paul failed to defeat Seth Rollins at WWE WrestleMania 39. However, the match gave him more confidence in his longevity with the company.
The rivalry between The Maverick and The Visionary reached its boiling point at WrestleMania 39, where both men left no stone unturned in their quest for victory. Rollins outpointed Paul on a few occasions in the contest, ultimately taking the win.
The match was the last of Logan Paul’s previous contract with WWE. Shortly thereafter, ESPN announced that The Maverick had re-signed to a multi-year deal with the company.
speaking to ESPN, Logan Paul revealed that his match at WrestleMania 39 made him feel more confident about his longevity with the company. He added that he was “going for the long haul” after his impressive performance on The Show of Shows.
“After WrestleMania, when I came out unscathed, like I tell you unscathed, the next day I could have run a half marathon, I was much more confident in my longevity in this sport. Is there a way to do it. There’s a way to perform where you mitigate athletic risk, and I’m going to find it, and I’m going to go for the long haul,” Logan Paul said.
He continued:
“So now I have to get really good at this and take it seriously and be creative in how I can do these lifelong moments that people never forget over and over again,” Paul said. “…So while it’s definitely harder to impress, and the WWE universe will be watching me very carefully and examining how I perform and how I grow as an athlete, I’m excited for the challenge.” [H/T – ESPN]
The 28-year-old star has made a name for himself in different fields of entertainment, including social media, the boxing ring, and the wrestling ring. WWE will likely look to use it to its full potential to push their product into new territories.

Being the hyper-ambitious person that I am, I’m going for a belt. I wouldn’t have signed this contract. if I didn’t think I was capable of getting a WWE belt.
