Logan Paul walked into WWE as a heel in popular culture. Millions of people followed his every move, but may of them were also looking for him to screw up. In recent memory, things have certainly taken a legal turn for The Maverick.
Although Logan Paul remained on WWE television throughout a lot of his legal woes, lawsuits included, he kept the United States Title before losing it to LA Knight at SummerSlam in Cleveland Browns Stadium. It appears that all of those lawsuits and controversial situations outside WWE didnt affect Logans booking.
During his Backstage Report Podcast on Fightful Select, Sean Ross Sapp spoke about Logan Pauls situation in WWE throughout his lawsuits. It was noted that WWE hasnt commented on Logan Pauls mounting lawsuits either.
Just in case you need a refresher, in September 2021, Logan Paul launched an NFT-based game called CryptoZoo, which quickly faced criticism for using stock images and poor functionality. By December 2022, YouTuber Coffeezilla released a docuseries exposing the games issues, including its failure to deliver on promises despite significant funding, and allegations of marketing to children. Paul initially threatened legal action against Coffeezilla, but later deleted his response and offered a $1.3 million refund to NFT holders in January 2023.
By February 2023, Paul faced a class-action lawsuit from investors. He initiated a refund program in January 2024, requiring participants to agree not to pursue legal action against him. Meanwhile, Paul filed a counterclaim against his co-defendants. In June 2024, despite earlier apologies, Paul sued Coffeezilla for defamation. Coffeezilla claimed this was in response to his inquiries about Liquid Marketplace, another company co-owned by Paul, which is under investigation for alleged fraud.
We will keep a very close eye on Logan Pauls ongoing legal situation. Only time will tell how long it takes him to make a return to WWE, but odds are hes far from finished in the pro wrestling world.
Whats your take on Logan Pauls legal drama outside WWE? Do you think that he has a chance to beat Coffeezilla? Is WWE wise not to comment? Let us know what you think in the comments section!
