Logan Paul has made strides in his life like no other professional in recent times. He has been successful with everything that he has done, whether its YouTube, Wrestling, Boxing or Business.
Logan Paul is a man of many talents. Paul started as a YouTuber and is now a successful entrepreneur and wrestler as well.
The current United States Champion with the WWE revealed on his podcast with his co-hosts and KSI that he would love to fight LeBron James in the Summer Slam. This year the event is taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, and LeBron James is the most well-known Clevelander ever.
What did Logan Paul say?
"I would like MGK, the Kelce brothers, and my brother Jake to be present. I want it to be among the largest gatherings Cleveland has ever experienced. I'm hoping to face someone with whom I can bring the house down. Paul remarked, "I'm probably wrestling LeBron."
The YouTuber wished to include other well-known Cleveland figures on the occasion. He brought up the NFL brothers and podcasters, Travis and Jason Kelce. Additionally, he acknowledged singer-rapper Machine Gun Kelly.
Paul couldn't wait to host the big WWE event in his hometown. He stated: “This year's WWE Summer Slam will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, which is my hometown. It's crazy that we're bringing it back to the Cleveland Browns stadium.”
Paul further added: “Cleveland will host the Summer Slam for the first time since 1996. Cleveland is my favorite city. I'm thrilled to be able to return there after growing up there.”
