Logan Paul had been off WWE TV for months. The last time WWE Universe saw him was months before when he got defeated by Seth “Freakin” Rollins at WrestleMania 39. Furthermore, the social media megastar also renewed his contract with the Stamford-based promotion days after it ran out on the day of Mania. Along with signing the new contract, Logan expressed his wish to win a WWE title as well.
On the latest episode of Raw, Logan Paul was set to make his long-awaited return. However, the fans were uncertain about what WWE had in store for his comeback. Well, that seems to be answered now. The Maverick was sitting on the top of the ladder with Money in the Bank briefcase above his head. He also announced himself to be added to the ladder match in London in two weeks.

Along with the surprising announcement, the Impaulsive host also generated some heat from Cleveland, Ohio. Following the declaration by Paul, he got interrupted by other competitors such as Ricochet, Shinsuke Nakamura, LA Knight, and other superstars already in the match and a massive brawl erupted between everyone with Paul standing tall.
Meanwhile, fans on Twitter are disgusted with the major announcement. Here is what Wrestling Twitter has to say:

No. Nothing against him but he shouldn’t even be in the running for it.

I hope not! Besides upsetting the 14 year old girls. No one wants him winning! LA Knight all of the way!

How does Logan just walk in and join the match while everyone else had to qualify?

Although fans don’t seem to agree with the decision, the inclusion of Logan Paul in the ladder match could turn out to be a great move from a business perspective. Also, his athleticism and high-flying abilities will definitely add a lot to the match which is designed for incredibly talented high-flyers. Henceforth, it remains to be seen whether The Maverick walks out of London with a briefcase in hand.
Rumored future plans for Logan Paul amid his WWE return
Although Logan Paul is just now announced to be added to the Money in the Bank ladder match, it was rumored to happen for weeks. Meanwhile, the latest reports suggest that The Maverick is slated to win the Money in the Bank contract in London.
Moreover, WWE is planning a WrestleMania rematch between Paul and Seth Rollins at Summerslam. This time it would be for the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. The Impaulsive host also expressed his desire to win a WWE title in the future while signing the new contract.
During his recent interview with ESPN, Paul explained why he renewed his contract with the company. “I wouldn’t have signed this contract if I didn’t think that I was capable of getting a WWE belt,” Logan stated. Also saying he would love to have that on his resume.
