Logan Paul currently holds the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) United States Championship, a title he’s set to defend at Wrestlemania XL.

Starting as content creators, the Paul brothers amassed huge followings by producing humorous and often controversial videos. Their venture into combat sports began with a boxing match in 2018, where they fought against fellow YouTubers KSI and Deji Olatunji. Since then, Jake Paul has taken his boxing career more seriously, achieving notable victories against former professional athletes and MMA fighters, including Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz.

Despite a loss to Tommy Fury, Jake Paul’s determination has seen him transition from high-profile celebrity matches to more traditional bouts against seasoned boxers, leading up to his upcoming fight against Tyson.

Logan Paul, on the other hand, has made his mark in the WWE. After a few guest appearances and signing a multi-event contract, he won the United States Championship from Rey Mysterio and has defended it successfully, setting the stage for his participation in a triple-threat match at Wrestlemania XL. 

Logan’s involvement in WWE has not only added to his fame but also proven financially rewarding, with his PRIME Hydration brand becoming an “Official Hydration Drink Partner” of WWE.

The Paul brothers’ foray into combat sports has sparked discussions among fans and critics alike. While some question the legitimacy of their boxing matches, others are intrigued by the potential of seeing the two brothers face off in the ring, whether in a boxing match or a WWE event. 

As they continue to build their careers in their chosen sports, Jake and Logan Paul are demonstrating that their ambitions extend far beyond the digital fame they initially achieved. With Logan’s upcoming match at Wrestlemania XL and Jake’s highly anticipated bout with Tyson, the Paul brothers are set to remain prominent figures in the sports entertainment landscape.
