WWE has introduced an unexpected change by listing Logan Paul, the former United States Champion, as a free agent. This shift comes amid the WWE Draft, which typically assigns superstars exclusively to one brand—Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown, or NXT. Initially, Paul was slated for Monday Night RAW before its Netflix debut, but recent events have seen him involved in a prominent feud on Friday Night SmackDown. Reports from WrestleVotes Radionoted reveal that WWE’s creative team now has the freedom to feature Paul on either brand, reflecting uncertainty about his permanent placement.
Potential High-Profile Matchup with WWE Legend The Undertaker
Despite losing a singles match against John Cena at Clash in Paris, Logan Paul’s presence in the ring with such a WWE icon is a notable achievement. Wrestling analyst Sam Roberts, speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, suggested Paul could be part of another major encounter, this time facing off against legendary wrestler The Undertaker. While Roberts expressed doubt that The Undertaker could return for a physical match, unlike The Rock who could potentially perform again after a year of training, he imagined a possible WrestleMania 43 match in Saudi Arabia. Roberts described the idea of a Street Fight match without the traditional Undertaker attire, emphasizing the intensity of the showdown.
“If we do get Undertaker, I could see a Street Fight with The Undertaker. I don’t think we’ll do a full on match, but Undertaker doesn’t have to bring out the coat and the hat, goes full on American Bada**, street fight. Undertaker versus, who’s a great villain for the Undertaker to go one on- Oh my gosh. Guys, Street Fight. Undertaker. One more WrestleMania match versus Logan Paul. Undertaker versus Logan Paul.” – Sam Roberts, Wrestling Analyst
