Logan Paul is not planning an exit from WWE anytime soon. Speaking on The Stephen A. Smith Show, the former United States Champion committed to at least five more years in the ring, with the goal driven not by championship ambitions but by a personal reason: he wants his young daughter to grow up old enough to watch him perform and understand who her father is.
Paul framed the timeline around his two-year-old, admitting the schedule is demanding and that he still wants years left in him.
So, she’s two, right? And man, WWE’s hard. I would love to do WWE for a minimum another five years.
Five years is only his floor. ‘The Maverick’ said he would love to join the small group of celebrity crossovers who stick around long enough to build a genuine wrestling career, even joking about the reaction he still gets from crowds.
Maybe I’ll be one of those guys who has a 10-15 year career. You know, and maybe they’ll stop booing me eventually. Not that that’s what I want, but like maybe they’ll start cheering at one point.
Why His Daughter Is Driving The Goal
The heart of Paul’s answer had nothing to do with titles or headlining shows. He said he wants his daughter to be old enough to see him wrestle live and grasp what he built inside a WWE ring.
However, if I’m on the shorter side, like I don’t know… I’d be very lucky if my daughter could see me professionally wrestle. I think it would be really cool for her to see her dad do something that he loves and is good at in front of the people so she understands kind of who her dad is.
When Stephen A. Smith asked what comes after wrestling, given the businesses Paul runs outside the ring, Paul said he is not looking for an off-ramp. He pointed to a move into collectibles but stressed that WWE remains his focus because it is where he feels most creatively satisfied.
I love creating. And in the WWE I get to create. I get to… people feel. I get to tell stories and paint on the canvas that is the mat. And build these matches and use my body to express the story that we’re trying to tell. I find it all very beautiful and I really enjoy it.
From One-Off Attraction To Long-Term Fixture
Paul’s commitment tracks with how his WWE run has grown. He re-signed with the promotion on a multi-year deal in 2023, turning what began as a celebrity attraction into a longer-term arrangement, and captured the WWE United States Championship at Crown Jewel that same year.
He remains an active member of the RAW roster and he is a member of The Vision. Asked how far he wants this to go, Paul kept it simple.
Dude, I’ll be doing it as long as I possibly can.
A five-year stay would already place Paul among the longer-tenured celebrity performers WWE has run with. Should he reach the 10-to-15-year mark he described, the framing around him could shift from outside novelty to one of the company’s more durable long-term bets.
