AJ Styles Says Logan Paul Hasn’t Earned His WWE Spot

AJ Styles isn’t buying into the Logan Paul hype, and he’s ready to put the social media star to the test. Styles and Paul have had their fair share of run-ins lately, but things escalated on WWE Raw when Styles took the fight to Paul, forcing him to retreat.

Speaking on Raw Recap, Styles made it clear that he’s not just fighting for himself—he’s fighting for everyone who’s had enough of Logan Paul.

“I feel like it’s me and the rest of the country wanting to hurt Logan Paul. So I’m just trying to do everyone a favor and get it done as quick as possible, get him out of our ring,” Styles said.

When asked if he thought Paul respected wrestling, Styles didn’t hold back, comparing him to a spoiled child who hasn’t paid his dues.

“It’s like giving your kids everything they want before they even work for anything. They’re spoiled, right, and I would say it’s kind of the same thing with Logan Paul. He thinks he can just come to a WWE ring. Not an independent wrestling ring, like the rest of us had, or maybe at least the PC to train a little bit. He has done none of that, and thinks he belongs in our ring? We’ve paid our dues, we’ve done what we’ve had to do to get to where we’re at. Logan Paul hasn’t. So we’re gonna find out how bad he wants it. I’m gonna stay on him. I’m gonna stay on him until either he’s gonna fight and do something about it, or he’s gonna leave.”

Styles admitted that Paul is an athlete but argued that doesn’t automatically make him a WWE star.

“He’s an athlete. He’s an athlete, there’s no doubt about it. The guy’s an athlete, but there are tons of athletes out there that don’t belong in our ring. We, like I said, had to pay our dues. We had to sacrifice something to get in that ring. Whether it’s time, whether it’s pain, or both, or all of it, we have to sacrifice so much, and then there’s a guy that thinks he can just walk into our ring and do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, claims he’s the biggest star. I mean, yeah, he’s got a lot of followers. Maybe Triple H is happy about that. Great. But he’s gonna have to earn his spot on the WWE roster. He hasn’t given anything. That is the problem, right? You gotta give something to get something, and he hasn’t given anything.”

Styles didn’t mince words—he’s ready to settle things in the ring and see if Paul can handle the pressure.

“I didn’t start this, Logan did. I’m just gonna finish it. We’re gonna find out how bad he wants it. If he wants to be in a WWE ring, how bad do you want to be in it? It’s not easy. If it’s, everybody would do it. So let’s just take him to a point where he might break, and if he doesn’t, maybe he belongs, and I’ll respect that. I don’t have to like him, but I can respect him. Maybe it’s a match. Maybe that’s what this needs to be. So yeah, let’s have the match. I don’t care where it is. Let’s do it. Let’s see what you’ve got. Let’s see how bad you want it. How much punishment are you willing to take? What injuries are you willing to come back from? Let’s find out.”

AJ Styles isn’t just talking—he’s daring Logan Paul to prove he belongs in WWE the hard way. No shortcuts, no handouts, just a real fight. If Paul wants respect, he’s gonna have to earn it the same way every other superstar did—by taking the hits and coming back for more. The question is, does Logan Paul actually have what it takes, or is he just playing wrestler until things get too real?
