World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, known for his well-documented conflicts with various wrestling personalities in WWE and AEW, has no issues with former United States Champion Logan Paul. Logan Paul, once a controversial YouTuber turned podcaster and entrepreneur, stepped into professional wrestling in 2021. Recently, on his show “What’s For Lunch,” Punk discussed both Paul and Chef Donnie, expressing that he believes it’s positive for internet personalities like Paul to join the wrestling world.
Punk acknowledged the criticism Paul faces but highlighted that he respects Paul’s commitment to taking wrestling seriously. He noted that if it were him a decade ago, he might have been very critical, but given today’s business landscape, Paul’s presence brings value, even if he’s widely disliked. In wrestling, being hated often translates to financial success, which Punk finds interesting.
Punk and Paul have squared off in significant matches, including the 2025 Elimination Chamber and this year’s WarGames event. In a recent storyline before Survivor Series, Paul faked a turn to the good side but then attacked Punk with brass knuckles. Currently, Paul is fully aligned with The Vision, a faction that includes Bronson Reed and Bron Breaker—the latter showing interest in Punk’s title—signaling the possibility of a direct rivalry between Punk and Paul soon.
Fan Take: This development is exciting for WWE fans as it introduces a fresh dynamic with Logan Paul deeply involved in the wrestling scene alongside established stars like CM Punk. It could lead to compelling storylines that blend mainstream celebrity appeal with wrestling talent, potentially drawing new audiences and revitalizing interest in WWE events.
