Despite saying he was retired from wrestling on his podcast last week, Logan Paul has been announced as the newest member of the WWE Raw roster.
Paul was at WWE headquarters today for the company’s Raw on Netflix kickoff event, where Raw’s General Manager, Adam Pearce, announced him as the newest member of the Raw roster.
Pearce said:
“Lately, there’s been a lot of speculation, innuendo, rumor about the future of the person I’m about to bring out here right now. I’m here to say that it is officially time to put it all to rest. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the newest member of the Monday Night Raw roster, Logan Paul.”

Paul hasn’t wrestled since WWE SummerSlam 2024, when he lost the United States Championship to LA Knight. In September, he and his fiancee, Nina Agdal, welcomed the birth of their first child. He noted on his podcast last week that he considers himself retired now that he is a father.
“I’m retired. I’m a dad, bro,” Paul said on his podcast.
However, he said today that he’s been watching Raw every week and it’s reminded him that he is better than everyone else.
Paul said:
“I’ve been watching a lot of Monday Night Raw. The premium live events. Paul (Levesque), you guys have outdone yourself. The product right now is amazing. Absolutely incredible. And guys, getting to watch my peers wrestle week in and week out is what truly made me realize how much better I am than everyone.”
Paul continued:
” I was the greatest United States champion of all time. Every single one of my matches is a banger. Think about it. Mike Tyson wants to fight me. Conor McGregor wants to fight me. Of course, they do. A payday with a Paul brother is a bucket list item for most all of these washed-up fighters.”
“So the best part of being me is that I get to do what I love and I love this sport. So here’s a message to the entire WWE roster, everyone watching back there, everyone watching at home, because I know you’re watching. If you have something that I want, I’m going to take it. I’m not asking permission. I am going to take it from you.”
They stay watching, I stay humble https://t.co/o2FapiAd9N
