After finding massive success as a YouTuber, Logan Paul has gone on to establish himself as an entrepreneur, influencer, and professional wrestler.
While many fans remained cautious, Paul has proven that he deserves to be in the ring, executing multiple high-caliber matches.
Now, Paul is ready to take on his next role: fatherhood.
On Sept. 29, 2024, Paul and his fiancée, model and influencer Nina Agdal, announced the birth of their baby daughter.
“Esmé Agdal Paul has entered the chat,” the couple said on Instagram.
Multiple people celebrated the birth in the comments, including Paul’s mom, Pam Stepnick.
“Grammy Pammy has entered the chat too,” Stepnick said. “Thank you Logan & Nina Thank you for bringing this little Angel into our family!!! Best collab yet!!!”
Paul made his WWE debut on April 2, 2021, as a guest of Sami Zayn for the premiere of Zayn’s documentary. He would finally make his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38, teaming with The Miz to defeat Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
After receiving praise for his match, Paul signed a multi-event contract with WWE. He would eventually get his revenge on The Miz at SummerSlam 2022 and challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel on Nov. 5, 2022, losing despite interference from brother Jake Paul.
Eventually, Paul would go on to defeat Rey Mysterio for the WWE United States Championship at Crown Jewel on Nov. 4, 2023. Paul would successfully defend the title against Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble 2023 and against Randy Orton and Owens at WrestleMania XL, both thanks to interference.
This would lead to Paul having another opportunity to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship, this time facing Cody Rhodes in a Champion vs. Champion match at King and Queen of the Ring.
Paul would eventually lose his title to LA Knight at SummerSlam on Aug. 3, 2024. This ended his reign at 273 days, although he only defended it three times. He hasn’t appeared on WWE television since.
In 2023, Paul was ranked No. 10 on ESPN’s list of the 30 Best Pro Wrestlers Under 30. He was also ranked No. 37 on Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s PWI 500 this year.
Other WWE Superstars ranked ahead of Paul include Rhodes (No. 1), Seth Rollins (No. 4), Damian Priest (No. 6), Gunther (No. 9), Zayn (No. 12), Drew McIntyre (No. 13), Jey Uso (No. 17), LA Knight (No. 27), Trick Williams (No. 28), and Ilja Dragunov (No. 30).
