Summary

Logan Paul said WWE management told him to stop pursuing boxing matches against NFL players after his viral $1 million challenge.

According to Paul, WWE cited injury risk close to WrestleMania 42 as the reason and said it preferred that he not box.

Several NFL players had responded to Paul’s challenge, including Dion Dawkins, Le’Veon Bell, and Breiden Fehoko.

Paul later posted that WWE bosses intervened and that he is returning to RAW on Mondays.

Logan Paul and WWE risk decision centers on WrestleMania 42 timing

WWE stepping in now keeps Logan Paul focused on in-ring WWE plans, because the company’s stated concern was an avoidable injury before WrestleMania 42.

The call also effectively cools the NFL crossover angle for now, even after multiple players responded to his open challenge.

Quote from WWE representative

“We don’t want you to get injured… It’s just unnecessary risk, like you don’t know if you slip, you fall. We don’t want to risk any injury… we just would prefer for you not to be boxing.”

Quote from Logan Paul

“Welp. The bosses called. Turns out I’m too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate and for their 15 minutes of relevancy. Now back to being broke and retired. I’m going back to RAW every Monday on Netflix .”
