It is well known that anything can happen in the WWE, and if that adage is true then one thing that should happen in the future is for YouTube megastar and now WWE Superstar Logan Paul to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

One fun and great aspect of the WWE is when they bring in celebrities from all over to take part in their shows. Sometimes it goes extremely well like Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 37 or terrible when Lavar, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball made their appearance on Monday Night Raw in 2017. And now with Logan Paul, things have gone so well, that the WWE Universe is anticipating his next appearance in the squared circle. One constant with all the aforementioned moments in the WWE and with these celebs is that they have all involved The Miz, more on that later.

Logan Paul, who I will admit I didn't understand the appeal of has definitely grown on me tenfold. I thought along with his brother Jake Paul that they were a flash in the pan and just annoying, some might still think they are annoying but once they started using their platform to get into the fight game and for Logan, into the WWE ring, I started opening my eyes a little more as they were taking it seriously and really becoming a success. It was great to see that they were taking things seriously, which allows us all to take them seriously whether we like them or not.

When Logan initially came into the WWE Universe, as a fan I am going to give everyone, especially a celeb a chance. To see that he was willing to roll with the punches, get booed, get cheered and get involved got me interested in his work with Sami Zayn which eventually landed him in the ring at WrestleMania 38 to team with The Miz. The performance he gave was so natural, showing that he was a gifted athlete and a gifted in-ring performer. And if that was it, he would forever be remembered as a celebrity that did very well and didn't embarrass themselves or the WWE.

But then at the end of the match, The Miz took the opportunity to give Paul a Skull-Crushing Finale finishing maneuver which almost guaranteed a future return for Paul. Fast forward to the 2022 SummerSlam, Paul signed a contract with the WWE and his first match was to get revenge on The Miz.

Logan Paul Defeated The Miz At WWE's SummerSlam

Paul who proved himself in the WWE ring initially at WrestleMania 38 has also proved himself in the boxing ring as he showcased his talents against Floyd Mayweather Jr. back in June of 2021. So when he challenged The Miz at SummerSlam, he made sure to showcase his boxing skills with a flurry of hands that got The Miz startled. Add an amazing moonsault to the mix and everyone knew instantly that Paul meant business and that this wrestling thing might just catch on.

The back and forth affair had everyone on their feet to see the next thing that would happen between the two. After constant outside interference from The Miz's side of the ring with fellow WWE Superstar Ciampa and Maryse, it still wasn't enough to put Paul down.

That gave Paul his chance to apply a Phenomenal Forearm to The Miz that put his opponent to the outside of the ring, Paul then set up The Miz on the announce table where he did a death-defying frog splash to lay him out. This leads to the ultimate revenge as Paul caught The Miz in his own move, the Skull-Crushing Finale to pick up the victory.

SummerSlam proved that Paul was not a fluke. And for Paul to defeat a two-time WWE Champion in the process was without question a reason to see that this would not be the last time we see him in action. He catapulted himself into the discussion of getting more matches and dare we say title opportunities.

Why Logan Paul Should Eventually Win The WWE Championship

The list of celebrities that have held a wrestling championship has been spotty at best. Everyone from Rob Gronkowski, Doug Flutie, and David Arquette have held different championships to varying success. Arquette is well known for winning the WCW World Championship, where the wrestling world turned on him immediately and hated every minute of it. Thankfully in Arquette's case, who is a lifetime wrestling fan has trained to become a great wrestler and has since had matches on the independent scene that fans now respect him and no longer look at his victory and WCW Championship win as bad as it once was perceived.

And with Paul's performances so far, he already is leaps ahead and has gained the respect of the wrestling world and the performers of the WWE that now it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a few title shots in his future. Now if he got in the ring right now with current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns then Paul would likely get his ass handed to him, but with a few more matches under his belt, he could begin to challenge for the other championships in the WWE like the United States or Intercontinental titles. All steps that every performer makes to eventually make it to be a World Champion.

The path could be easy or it could be tricky to eventually get that match but winning a future Money in the Bank or the Royal Rumble could always be in the cards to get Paul in the mix fast. And if and more likely when he gets his opportunity, people better not be surprised is he actually wins. Paul, who is only 27 has plenty of time to reach the top of the mountain, but after his current performances, the future is very bright.

Also if he won the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, the company would get so many new eyeballs on their product, so much press and so many people and wrestling fans waiting to see if he can do it again and again or lose spectacularly against one of our other favorite WWE Superstars.

With the regime of Triple H who is now in control of the WWE, this is one thing that could be done to get tons of people talking. And we think it should happen sooner than later.

Logan Paul as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has a nice ring to it.
