Logan Paul has made quite a name for himself as a WWE Superstar. He has gained many new fans who appreciate his dedication to wrestling. Fans from all around the world get a chance to meet him at fan fests throughout the year. It was a similar experience for one particular fan at the Fanatics Fest. The fan went there to meet The Maverick but ended up disappointed due to some controversy.
Paul met the fan, who requested him to sign his Topps card, which captured a moment of him hitting a springboard moonsault with Jey Uso on the table. Unfortunately, he figured out it was a fake Topps card because it hadn’t even been released yet. The former United States Champion refused to sign the card and also clarified on X that it was indeed a fake card, as he confirmed it with the Topps company.
Talking about his WWE journey, he recently worked with three of the company’s biggest stars: John Cena, Uso, and Cody Rhodes. He partnered with the 17-time World Champion in a tag team match against Uso and Rhodes but lost. In the final moments of the match, Ron Killings made his return and went straight after Cena. He then struck Cena on the head with the Undisputed WWE Title belt.
“Confirmed with Topps that this was a fake. It would’ve been the very first “Logan Paul Rookie Card” that I autographed & I didn’t want that moment to happen with a counterfeit”

The Peacemaker actor was done for by that point, and Rhodes planted him with a Cross Rhodes. This secured the pinfall and victory for himself and The Yeet Man.
As of now, he has no clear direction regarding his future in the Stamford-based company. However, Paul has expressed his desire to win the world title someday.It will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
Logan Paul Reveals Why He’s Been Handed a Ton of Opportunities in WWE
It’s been three years since Logan Paul was offered a WWE contract in June 2022. Since then, The Maverick has risen through the ranks in no time compared to most of his peers. The Westlake-born influencer recently posted a video on YouTube. In it, he called out those who are disgruntled with his undeniable success in WWE.
Paul affirmed that he wasn’t handed those high-profile spots just because he was a social media megastar. He said that WWE treated him as a special entity because he was fantastic and had been pulling mainstream views for over a decade now. Taking offense to his reasoning, Karrion Kross came up with a resounding response.
“It’s my understanding that some of my peers are not happy that I get these shots so quickly in my career. Let me break it down for you. The reason that I’m here, the reason that I’m given these opportunities so early in my career is a) because I’m fantastic, but b) because I’ve been getting those impressions for a decade now.”

While he didn’t outright mention Paul by name, Kross’ remarks were intended to address The Maverick. The former NXT Champion said that pro wrestlers were never taught in wrestling schools that, to be successful in their careers, they’d have to build a brand outside of WWE like Paul did.
