Logan Paul isn’t a bad guy. He’s the bad guy, and he kind of likes it.
Paul has become one of the most prominent stars in WWE since he signed with the company in 2022. He has faced Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, among other stars, and he competed in the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble. Paul was initially presented as a face, but he has firmly been a heel in recent months.
Speaking with Stephen A. Smith on The Stephen A. Smith Show, Paul was asked whether it’s better to be a good guy or a bad guy.
“Stephen, I’m not a bad guy,” Logan Paul said. “I’m the bad guy. And it’s f-cking fantastic. I’ll be honest with you, when I’m up there, just being an a-hole, puppeteering the crowd, getting under my opponent’s skin in any little way I can, there’s a part of me that ignites. It’s a little scary, but I love the idea of being able to essentially conduct an entire audience however I want, whenever I want with what I say. I’ve recently leaned into being a heel, and I kind of like it.”
Paul defeated Ricochet at WWE SummerSlam after he hit the former Intercontinental Champion with brass knuckles.
