Because of his impressive debut on the wrestling scene, the news of Logan Paul officially signing a multi-year contract deal was largely met with applause and accolades from fans, not jeers and boos as one might expect to follow the controversial YouTuber on his career-changing path. Between Paul in WrestleMania and the Creator Clash event, 2022 is proving to be a banner year for content creators turned fighters.

Logan Paul signing a multi year deal with WWE is a great move.He was one of the highlights of Wrestlemania, and if they keep him in a position where he is an attraction, and less of him taking a prime spot away from someone who actually deserves it, I don’t mind it
