Logan Paul’s WWE run might still be in its early stages, but one wrestling veteran thinks he’s already leapfrogged the best in the business.

On a new episode of The Stevie Richards Show, the former WWE and ECW star didn’t hold back when asked whether Logan Paul is better than the entire AEW roster.

“I’m gonna say easy. Logan Paul is better than everybody in AEW.”

Richards didn’t stop there. He called out top AEW stars by name to drive home his point.

“John Moxley. Yes. Darby Allin. Will Ospreay? Yes. Swerve Strickland. Yes. Kenny Omega. Young Bucks. Yes.”

For Richards, it all comes down to character and storytelling—something he believes Logan Paul has in spades.

“He’s a character. I can hate or love Logan Paul, and he’s every bit as athletic as all of them. He’s proven it.”

He praised Logan for knowing how to pace his performances like a veteran instead of overloading fans with flash.

“He doesn’t debut all 12 moves at the same time. He doesn’t give you everything. He makes something special happen in a Logan Paul match every time he has it.”

According to Richards, this slow-burn approach reminds him of how stars like Goldberg and Big Show introduced new moves during their prime.

“Goldberg used to debut a new move once every week or two. It was a big deal. Same with Logan Paul. Big Show would do a moonsault, elbow off the top, leg drop… he would debut new stuff.”

And just in case you thought he was only targeting AEW, Richards made it clear Logan Paul is outperforming WWE’s full-timers too.

“I’m saying he’s better than 98 percent of the WWE roster as well.”

He credits Logan’s smart training and focus on self-branding for giving him an edge, especially in a system where many talents are creatively restricted. The end result? A celebrity-turned-wrestler who delivers every time.

“He consistently creates memorable moments every time he steps in the ring.”

Logan Paul didn’t spend years on the indies—but in Stevie Richards’ eyes, he doesn’t need to. He’s already outworking some of the most respected names in the game, and fans should start acknowledging that.
