In the framework of WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Logan Paul shone on the second night of the event on Sunday, defeating AJ Styles to establish himself as one of the WWE‘s stars.

“It’s a ridiculous amount, because let me tell you something,” Logan Paul began, before adding: “I love WWE. It’s the best job in the world, and I was literally born to wrestle.”
Jake Paul’s brother explained that fighting in WWE makes him feel good and think that this is the reason why he was born and is on Earth.
“When I’m in the ring, I fight and beat the superstars that everyone says are better than me. They’re not,” said ‘The Maverick’.

“The money that is generated at the end, from pay-per-view, takes a while. I’m still cashing checks from fights from seven or eight years ago,” ‘Money’ Mayweather told The Pivot Podcast
