Major RAW Star’s Brother Banned From WWE Due To Beef With TKO

WWE TKO Shapiro Manuel Nick Khan Dana White

A top WWE star’s brother is facing the repercussions of his feud with TKO Group.

TKO is the parent company of both the Stamford promotion and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Jake Paul, meanwhile, has been involved in a feud with Dana White, who is the president and CEO of UFC.

Paul is also the co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), a mixed martial arts and boxing promotion company, which was set up in 2021.

Jake Paul has previously claimed that he has been banned from attending WWE events, owing to his rivalry with White. The 29-year-old’s beef with White stems from his previous comments regarding UFC Fighters’ pay.

The Problem Child is also known to have released a diss track on Dana White, which obviously did not sit well with the business mogul. Tensions between them further escalated due to the MVP’s signing of former UFC names like Ronda Rousey, Nate Diaz, and Francis Ngannou.

Jake Paul Reveals TKO’s WWE Ban On Him

Jake Paul recently spoke to Chael Sonnen and Ian Parker on the Undefeated & Undisputed podcast, where he admitted that TKO had banned him from attending WWE events.

He kicked off the discussion by stating that he did not necessarily take his beefs seriously, but his criticism of UFC had some truth to it.

I don’t take any beefs too serious. I think it’s definitely in the name of entertainment. However, there is truth in it and there are points and some certain facts that I would like to see pushed through. Like the UFC fighter minimum pay being ,000, that needs a rise.

He also claimed that TKO’s ban on him prevented him from attending live events featuring his brother and YouTube star Logan Paul. Jake has previously admitted that he would love to manage his brother in the Stamford promotion.

But from my side, I’m just having fun and the fact that one of the biggest organizations in the world, the TKO group, has this major beef with me. They won’t even let me go be in my brother’s WWE matches because they hate me so much. So it’s pretty wild how much under their skin we are.

Despite his issues with Dana White, Jake Paul continues to maintain that his feud is only part of the entertainment business and he enjoys the exchanges.

To me, it’s just been a fun journey. I enjoy s**t talk. Like when people make fun of me. I’m easy to make fun of. I’m able to make fun of myself. So the beef, to me, is just fun and entertaining for everybody.
