Jake Paul Rules Out Wrestling For WWE

Speaking to Newsweek in an interview alongside brother Logan, Jake Paul denied aiming to become a wrestler in WWE - but didn't rule out involvement in another role. He explained:

"I would be down to be Logan's manager, Paul Heyman-style in WWE, but I don't think my body is cut out for the athleticism and the madness that the WWE takes. I feel like I would break my back. I definitely want to do MMA. Nate Diaz, still to this day, has not accepted the $15 million deal that we have for him. For me in MMA, it's just about finding the right opponent."

In the same interview, Logan Paul spoke about John Cena's seismic heel turn in the build to WrestleMania 41. He stated:

"I predicted that [Cena] was a snake, that's what I said. I actually did not see the heel turn coming; that was insane. I'll tell you what, I am here for all of it. Knowing what I know about him, if there were a team-up in the future, you have to consider that I would then be the one that gets snaked in front of everyone — which has the power to turn him back babyface. So, I don't know if I want to give him that, and I gotta be careful 'cause I'm building and doing my own thing in wrestling. [...] I am a fan of heel Cena, for sure."

While primarily an exhibition boxer and internet personality, Jake Paul has made appearances for WWE alongside Logan Paul, including at Crown Jewel 2022.
