WWE Hall of Famer calls for change regarding Logan Paul: "Time has changed" (Exclusive)

WWE star Logan Paul has been rising in the ranks of the company surprisingly fast, considering he's relatively new to the business. According to Hall of Famer Teddy Long, the most common criticism of him at this point is not sensible.

Despite starting with the company just a few years ago, Logan has already won the WWE United States Championship once and has competed against some of the biggest names in the industry. His match against Roman Reigns was one of the most outstanding ones so far, putting him on the radar of many veterans. His latest bout with John Cena further solidified his talent.

The Maverick's rapid rise has at times been criticized, with some pointing out that he never went through the journey to being a top star. Speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long stated:

"We got to get away from that. Time has changed. You know that. I have heard that so much, he never paid any dues, how many arenas did he sell out, and all that. We gotta let that go, you know that."

According to Teddy Long, The Maverick's match against John Cena at Clash in Paris indicates that Logan has a bright career ahead of him.

Speaking on the same episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, Teddy said:

"There is really nothing to say. I mean, Bill (Apter) just said it all, you know, and I agree. Logan Paul is gonna certainly be a big star. And I think for John Cena to work with and pass the torch, you know, it couldn't have went any better than that." [0:58 onwards]

It remains to be seen what is next for Logan Paul in WWE.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
