WWE Superstar The Miz recently shared his thoughts on Logan Paul‘s presence in WWE, emphasizing that Paul, despite his impressive talents, still faces the challenge of earning acceptance from the WWE Universe. Speaking on No-Contest Wrestling, The Miz drew from his own experience of initially not being embraced by wrestling fans, underscoring that establishing oneself in this industry requires more than just a brief appearance.

He elaborated,
“We wanna see if you’re a mainstay, that you wanna be here, that you have a love for this business.”
The Miz stressed the importance of dedication and genuine passion, adding that both he and Paul must continuously prove their worth every time they perform in the ring.
Look what Logan Paul’s doing right now,
The Miz said.
We wanna see if you’re a mainstay, that you wanna be here, that you have a love for this business. So I had to prove myself to everyone and continue having to prove myself just like Logan Paul is going to have to continue having to prove himself every time he goes out to that ring.
