Logan Paul, who helped popularize the online spectacle of influencer boxing, has officially hung up his gloves and moved on to another form of fighting — professional wrestling.

After making an appearance at Wrestlemania in April, Paul has officially signed a contract to start working as a professional wrestler with the WWE.

At the time of that match, many online expressed their surprise and satisfaction with Paul's performance, some noting that his background and personality were a good fit for the WWE world.

In fairness to Logan Paul, he absolutely SMASHED IT at WrestleMania 38 in April.

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 to WWE is a huge business wise.

He’s a massive name in entertainment/social media. He proved he can go at wrestlemania.

I have no problem with it.

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
