SUMMARY
- Logan Paul is a WWE star, YouTuber, a social media sensation, and an actor.
- The Maverick has been reigning as the United States Champion since November, 2023.
In its long history, WWE has been able to get a lot of celebrities on board as in-ring competitors. But not many have made an impact like Logan Paul. It’s been just years since he joined the Triple H-led promotion, but he’s already considered among the greatest celebrity-turned-performers in the company’s history.
Due to his growth as an in-ring star, the company decided to give The Maverick a run with the US title. But now fans feel that Paul isn’t serious about maintaining the decorum of being a champion. The reason why they have been thinking like this is the way Logan has handled the title outside WWE, especially his podcast.

In a similar incident, the YouTuber recently hosted rapper and songwriter, Rubi Rose, on his Impaulsive show and a picture from the episode has grabbed fans’ attention. As visible in the photograph, the female star had the US title around her waist, and pro wrestling audience is really disappointed with it.
Sharing how this is a clear mishandling of the United States title, a pro wrestling enthusiast wrote, “Just like that, this belt has been touched by thousands.” “Logan out here disrespecting the US title,” a WWE universe member wrote to express their disappointment with the star. (Via: X)
It must be noted that this isn’t the first time that someone has posted with the social media star’s title. Previously, Logan’s partner, Nina Agdal, also posted with the championship. However, Paul’s recent photograph with Rubi has made fans really furious, as they want WWE to handle such things in a better manner.
Logan Paul is set to defend his US title at WWE Royal Rumble
Amid the attention Logan’s recent picture with Rose has attained from the fans, a lot of them wonder what’s next for the US Champion inside the WWE. For everyone asking this question, The Maverick is set to defend the prestigious title at WWE’s upcoming mega event, Royal Rumble.
At the 2024 edition of the PLE, Paul will be defending his title against Kevin Owens. Until now, the promotion has done a fair enough job in building this feud, and they’ll probably try to make things event better in the remaining episodes of Friday Night SmackDown before the annual event.
As the Canadian-born pro wrestler has gone through an entire tournament to get a shot at Logan’s title, he’ll look forward to come out victorious from the show in St. Petersburg, Florida. If Owens fulfils this objective, he will enter his fourth reign as the United States Champion.
The question is: can Kevin really dethrone the YouTube sensation from his title? Or will Logan Paul use some dirty tactics to retain the US Championship on January 27. As he did something similar at 2023’s SummerSlam, there’s surely a possibility. But whatever happens in the end of their match, the WWE universe is bound to get an epic contest between these two stars.
