Logan Paul threatened to leave WWE backstage at the Royal Rumble due to The Rock.
Despite making an impact in WWE, the social media star dramatically threatened to quit the company twice ahead of the Royal Rumble.
Logan Paul threatened to ‘quit’ WWE if The Rock returned.
Logan Paul is known for his commitment to WWE, impressing fans with his memorable moments alongside Ricochet at the Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank.
In a VLOG posted to his YouTube, Paul shared his training process for the WWE match, including practicing his leap from the apron to the commentary table.
Paul managed to avoid elimination by LA Knight and sneaked back into the ring, thwarting AJ Styles’ hopes of a WrestleMania main event.
The video reveals some concerns from WWE officials about the move, but Paul remained confident he could succeed.
He said: “There’s no way I won’t make this jump. I’ll quit wrestling if I don’t land this jump.”
That wasn’t the only time he hinted at leaving WWE, as he suggested he would quit if The Rock took his spot in the Rumble.
Fans speculated that the WWE Hall of Famer might return as entrant number 30 or 31 to finally set up a long-awaited WrestleMania clash with Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes.
Paul was unimpressed by the idea, stating: “If Dwayne Johnson comes and tries to take my 30 spot, I’m going straight to the boss. I’m calling Nick Khan and saying, ‘Dude, I quit.’”
Paul is scheduled for an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on the February 10 episode of WWE Raw against Rey Mysterio.
Why Logan Paul felt ‘betrayed’ by John Cena
Paul’s Royal Rumble journey ended at the hands of John Cena, and he was less than pleased with how it unfolded.
John Cena is expected to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, but Paul might be angling for a match with the 16-time champion.
On his podcast Impaulsive, The Maverick said: “I feel a little bit betrayed by John Cena, to be honest. I’ve looked up to him my whole life, and then he just tossed me out like I’m trash. I did his show, bro. We drove around in a car for three hours together, and then he throws me over the rope?”
Cena made it to the final two in the Royal Rumble but lost to eventual winner Jey Uso at the 2025 event.
