Logan Paul forces WWE employee haircut after gum incident, sparking widespread conversation after an on-set prank went wrong at a recent WWE event. Tension rose when Paul accidentally threw gum that became stuck in the hair of a WWE staff member, ultimately leading to a forced haircut and a public apology.
Gum Prank Leads to Unexpected Consequences for WWE Cameraman
A behind-the-scenes mistake triggered the incident after Logan Paul, a well-known presence in WWE, threw a piece of chewing gum which landed in the hair of Stu, the company’s cameraman. The sticky mishap left Stu with no immediate way to remove the gum during the live event, forcing him to wait until after the show had ended.
Last week, Paul addressed the controversy in his vlog. He admitted to tossing the gum by mistake and confirmed that the action led to real consequences for Stu. Paul stated he could not express guilt at the time because his on-screen persona prevented an immediate apology, highlighting the blurred lines between performance and real-life emotions in the wrestling industry.
“No, because I couldn’t show remorse in the moment. I couldn’t show remorse in the moment because I was walking down the aisle. Why did you not take the gum off your hair? Paul asked. (3:50 – 4:00)” —Logan Paul, WWE wrestler
Employee Shares Frustration About Forced Haircut
The incident left Stu feeling both frustrated and disappointed, as he was unable to get the gum out of his hair until after his backstage responsibilities for WWE had concluded. He explained that the sticky situation left him with little choice but to cut out a sizable portion of hair, a process that could only happen once the broadcast was over and his duties were finished.
“There was no remorse there. That’s why I got the freaking haircut. Yeah, I had to get a haircut to get it out of it. There was a big chunk out of it, because I couldn’t walk around with gum in my hair, could I? I had to, I couldn’t do it until the actual show ended,” Stu revealed. (3:54 – 4:15)” —Stu, WWE Cameraman
Incident Adds to Challenging Week for Logan Paul
This unexpected episode compounded an already difficult week for Logan Paul, following his defeat in a tag team match alongside John Cena. The timing of these setbacks left the WWE star facing intensified scrutiny from both fans and colleagues, with the gum incident now serving as a reminder of the real-world impacts that can stem from lighthearted actions gone awry.
The event also drew attention within WWE circles, as personalities like Mick Foley remain active in the wrestling news cycle, highlighting the intense atmosphere and stakes both inside and outside the ring. Looking ahead, Logan Paul’s on-air conduct and off-camera responsibility may remain under observation as the organization continues to balance entertainment with professional accountability.
