An interesting comment from a WWE legend recently may have revealed how much Logan Paul is making to wrestle for the company.
For decades, WWE has blurred the line between wrestling and pop culture by bringing in celebrities to take part in their fictional sandbox. Wrestlemania 1 started it all with the inclusion of Cyndi Lauper and Mr. T. And it then eventually evolved to Hollywood elites like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hugh Jackman getting physical on WWE television.

Over the last few years, the celebrities they have brought in are far more physically inclined. And have stunned wrestling fans with how well they have performed in their opportunities. The most notable recent example is YouTuber turned boxer then wrestler, Logan Paul.
Like many celebrities, he appeared for the company a couple of years ago to draw his sizable young audience to the product. That then progressed to a full-blown multi-year contract to join the roster. His energy drink company Prime now even has a major sponsorship deal with the company.
Considering his immense fame on YouTube and social media, the assumption always was that Logan Paul was being paid well. Well, some specifics on what he is making in WWE may have been revealed from an unlikely source.
Kevin Nash claims Logan Paul making at least $5 million from WWE contract
During a new edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall-of-Famer Kevin Nash was talking about Paul and surprisingly mentioned, “From what I heard he’s making five million bucks for limited [dates].” That is a whopping amount for a part-timer with limited wrestling experience. In comparison, Japanese icon Kazuchika Okada recently got a three-year deal that pays him just over $4 million a year from AEW.
If that is a per-year number, it would put him among the highest-paid performers in the company. If it is $5 million for three to five years, it is still better than a majority of performers on the roster. Including several fan favorites. Nash is pretty tight with WWE head of creative Paul “Triple H” Levesque so it is very possible he heard that directly from him.
Rumors last year suggested Logan Paul’s WWE contract was for three years and $15 million. But that was shot down by company sources.
