Logan Paul recently discussed his experience in the wrestling world. When he first entered WWE, no one thought he would become a part-time wrestler. Yet, he surprised many by working hard and improving his skills, earning respect from peers. Still, he has faced backlash for being an “outsider” in WWE. Gunther also shared his views on the criticism Paul has received.
During an interview on Ariel Helwani’s podcast, Gunther was asked about Paul’s WWE journey. The World Heavyweight Champion had no problem with him, calling him a great addition to WWE. Gunther praised Paul’s athleticism and how quickly he learned wrestling techniques. He recognized Paul’s ability to adapt to the industry.
Gunther also spoke about the debate over outsiders in WWE. He supported Paul, saying he didn’t need to be the best wrestler to earn respect. While some fans have mixed feelings about outsiders, Gunther pointed out that no one would refuse the perks of being a WWE star. He acknowledged the advantages that come with the lifestyle.
“I think [Logan Paul] is a great addition for us. He’s a crazy athlete, and he picked it up really quick. I get there’s some sentiment towards the outsiders, but if you get offered that private jet and private locker room, none of you would turn it down. Come on guys.”

Gunther gave his honest opinion on not being in the main event of WrestleMania 41
Competing in WrestleMania’s main event is a huge honor for any wrestler. CM Punk spent years waiting for his chance to headline the Showcase of the Immortals. Gunther, despite being a top champion, won’t main event this year against Jey. The Ring General recently shared his thoughts on missing the spotlight.
During an interview with Helwani, Gunther was asked if he felt disappointed. He admitted he wasn’t upset, as headlining WrestleMania wasn’t a major goal for him. His priority is ending his career on a strong note. He also wants to ensure financial stability for his family.
This year, Cody Rhodes and John Cena will headline Night 1 of WrestleMania. Night 2 will feature a heated triple threat match between CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. The rivalry is intense, with all three men vying for Paul Heyman’s support. Heyman plays a key role in the storyline.
There’s two main event spots, but people argue there’s only one… that’s the night two. At the end of the day, they’re like big achievements but that’s not the thing I want to stress about because in the long term, later on when I finish my career, and I know I was able to be financially set up took care of my family.
Gunther about the main event spot
The stakes are high for everyone involved. Punk, Reigns, and Rollins each want Heyman in their corner. Meanwhile, Gunther remains focused on his own path. While some chase the main event, he prioritizes legacy and security. WrestleMania 40 promises drama, rivalries, and unforgettable moments.
