Paul Heyman Pitched For Logan Paul To Join WWE When He Was Executive Director

Logan Paul has established a solid notoriety as a result of joining WWE, although it was unclear who pitched for Logan. Paul Heyman has disclosed that, when serving as the executive director of WWE Raw, he pitched Logan Paul about joining the company.

Logan Paul was spotted by Paul Heyman long ago to join WWE. In just his third WWE match and second singles battle, Logan Paul will take on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WWE Crown Jewel. Obviously, Paul Heyman’s eye for talent has not diminished.

Heyman will be in Reigns’ corner, and if the Wise Man had his way, Paul would have been a long-time member of the WWE Universe. When asked if there was any trepidation to undertake a program with a star like Logan given his lack of expertise, Heyman gave his statement on WWE After The Bell.

“I didn’t have to think about it at all, and neither did Roman Reigns.”

“When I was executive director of Raw, I had pitched Logan Paul to the then-chairman Vince McMahon to get involved in a scenario that would ultimately culminate in a SummerSlam or Survivor Series or Royal Rumble match. I had seen the Paul brothers disrupting the boxing industry from the very beginning when they got involved, they just came in at such a level and with so much fan fair.”

“This is a no-brainer to the Tribal Chief and a no-brainer to the Special Counsel. This is global publicity, a chance to take Logan Paul’s audience and put those eyeballs on WWE, and more importantly on Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and the Bloodline. The desire is, to retain as many eyeballs as possible because we’re trying to seduce them on our brand of entertainment.”

From June 2019 through June 2020, Paul was the WWE Raw executive director. Prior to WrestleMania 37, Paul made his debut appearance on WWE TV as a participant in a feud between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. For further updates stay tuned to Ringside News.
