Logan Paul has some very illustrious WWE fans.

Logan Paul was a controversial and divisive figure long before he stepped inside a WWE ring and his career inside the squared circle has done little to change that.

Despite his antics rubbing many fans the wrong way, he’s consistently earned praise for his impressive feats in the ring. So naturally, whenever he shows up, all eyes are on the star wondering what might come next.

When Paul made his latest return to Raw on January 27th, he announced that the next challenge would be the Royal Rumble on February 1st. So that raises the question, could he really go on and become World Champion?

According to one former WWE Champion, the answer is a resounding yes.

Kurt Angle Respects “Talented” Logan Paul

During an interview with GreatOffshoreSportsbooks, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle said he could see Paul going on to become World Champion. Angle noted that the YouTube star has been able to pick up pro wrestling quicker than anyone in history, including himself, who is often cited as the benchmark.

“Yes. Yeah, That kid is incredibly talented. I’m a big fan of his. I’ll be honest with you. When he was a boxer, I hated his guts. But I get it now. I know what he was doing. He wanted me to hate him. But I love this kid. This kid is so talented. He has picked up on the business quicker than anybody in the history of the business, including myself.

I have a lot of respect for that kid. It’s amazing how he’s been able to pick up on everything that he’s accomplished, you know as a fighter, as a boxer, as a pro wrestler, as a businessman, this guy is nothing but gold and I have a lot of respect for him and I’m a big fan.”

Paul has actually challenged for World Championship gold before, having faced Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022.

Meanwhile, Conor McGregor has claimed UFC blocked his fight with Logan Paul. The pair had agreed to face each other in a boxing exhibition in India, but according to McGregor, UFC had no interest in getting behind the project.
