>>20070210Logan is already the top guy. It just hasn’t yet been officially recognized with a belt and Mania main events. He’s a LOT better a LOT sooner than I think everyone thought he would be.
He’s probably ~5 years ahead of schedule, and now they have to stash him in the midcard because they’ve already made commitments to the 38yo+ guys like Punk, Reigns, Orton, Cody, Brock, Seth, Sami, Drew, Gunther, Balor, Knight, and both Uso’s. (Yes, all those guys are at least 38).
Logan Paul turns 31 in a couple weeks, btw.
Literally the only thing against him is that he didn’t “come up through the program” and doesn’t have a long background in wrestling. This makes old heads feel like he needs to “pay his dues first.”
But he’s the perfect “WWE Superstar” in every other way (notice I didn’t say “wrestler” because whatever that means sure as shit isn’t relevant in 2026).
He’s a 10/10 scripted promo.
He’s a 10/10 improviser on mic.
He’s a 10/10 performer in ring, willing to do all kinds of high risk shit and willing to sell his opponents’ moves. He’s got his own creative finishers and signature moves.
He’s got a 10/10 look. He’s 6’2” and sculpted, and the black and yellow Karate Kid villain gear is dimes.
He’s got a 10/10 gimmick, with the loud, obnoxious, flashy, better-than-you Maverick swagger who succeeds at everything and mocks the concept of being “humble” because that’s exactly what everyone who has hated him all his life has told him he needs to be.
Most importantly, directly BECAUSE he’s an outsider, he’s a 10/10 heel who gets genuine heat because he doesn’t “need” wrestling to be successful.
And obviously, he’s one of the most famous, cross-platform stars in the world who is literally married to a supermodel (perfect for a heel), has multi-millions from a variety of income streams, and even has a famous brother.
He’s literally the dream WWE Superstar for this generation.
