Logan Paul has said his WWE contract is set to expire on April 1st but fully expects to sign a new deal with the company.
The social media star made the comments on an edition of ‘Ariel Helwani Meets’, which was posted earlier on Friday by WWE’s UK broadcast partner BT Sport.
Paul, who will be performing at WrestleMania on his 28th birthday on Saturday in a match with Seth Rollins, told Helwani:
I was contracted for a year to do two WrestleManias and, I think, five events … My life moves so fast and I don’t know what my stock will be in a year, and so it seems a little irresponsible to sign anything longer than year-long contracts.
Like, I don’t know, what’s gonna happen in a year. Last year, at this time, I had no idea I was gonna be a full-time, or even like, almost full-time wrestler, as like a staple of my career. And now I am.
So yeah, I don’t know. Hey, I mean, let’s be honest, brother, they’re gonna f**king renew my contract.
When asked whether any veterans had taken him under their wing, Paul responded:
I want to say Miz. He’s so cool and has helped me understand just how this industry works and has sort of even entered the WWE in a similar way to me, right.
And yeah, anytime I have a question or anytime I do something really personally fulfilling in the WWE, I’ll shoot Miz a text because he walked me through that first match. And I crushed it just because I had a good coach.
Elsewhere in the interview, Paul claimed that he had only ever undertaken two practice sessions as a wrestler, adding, “When I watch back the matches, after doing them, I can’t believe it’s me.”
