Is Logan Paul no longer a WWE Superstar? Exploring his contract status amid retirement revelation

Logan Paul was last seen at SummerSlam 2024 where he put his United States Championship on the line against LA Knight. The Maverick was dethroned by The Megastar after holding onto the title for 273 days. WWE has hosted a few premium live events since The Biggest Party of the Summer but there has been no sign of the 29-year-old.

Interestingly, The Maverick made the announcement of his retirement on his IMPAULSIVE podcast, saying that he would not be a part of WrestleMania 41. Additionally, he emphasized that his priorities had shifted ever since Nina Adgal and he welcomed their daughter earlier this year.

"No brother, come on I'm retired. I'm a dad," he said.

You can check out the podcast below for his comments:

Logan Paul reportedly signed a 'multi-year' contract with WWE shortly after WrestleMania 39. This means his deal would likely be a minimum of two years. Keeping that in mind, The Maverick is possibly signed with the Stamford-based promotion till at least after WrestleMania 41, and even beyond that if the deal spans more than two years.

Logan Paul might just be taking a break from WWE since becoming a father to prioritize spending time with his family. However, it is highly unlikely that he has retired from in-ring competition already.

Logan Paul did a media shoot for Netflix

It's well known by now that WWE RAW is moving to Netflix from January 6, 2025. Triple H is shuffling superstars within the three brands to create a power-packed roster for the red brand's debut on the global streaming platform.

The Maverick participated in a media shoot for Netflix and revealed feeling right at home when he put on his wrestling gear after months.

"We were shooting that thing yesterday. This was goofy, but I put on that outfit, and I was like, 'Oh yeah! My wrestling outfit.' We were doing the shoot. I put on my WWE outfit. I hadn’t put it on in a couple months, and I felt good. I felt at home," he said.

Considering he was featured in a media shoot for Netflix, sporting his WWE outfit, his retirement story could be banter.

She believes Rollins made the title relevant after its reintroduction by consistently defending it against a diverse set of opponents.

If allowed to rework a WWE storyline, Shuvangi would have featured Roman Reigns on weekly TV in a more prominent role leading up to his main event matches at WrestleMania XL. She believes The Tribal Chief was overshadowed by The Rock in The Bloodline-Cody Rhodes saga.
