With a monumental win over Mike Tyson in the boxing ring under his belt, Jake Paul could potentially switch to the WWE.
The promotion is said to have expressed strong interest in signing Jake Paul to a premium live event (PLE) in 2025. It’s a potential transition following in his brother’s footsteps, Logan Paul, who recently left his mark on the WWE, holding the United States Championship.

WrestleVotes recently shared the following on Twitter via Backstage Pass:
“Sources indicate WWE has notable interest in a Jake Paul appearance at a PLE sometime in 2025. It’s worth noting that WWE Superstar Logan Paul and Mike Tyson exchanged words at the conclusion of last Friday night’s fight on Netflix. Time will tell where all this goes.”
This tweet started the speculation that Jake Paul would make his WWE debut after the high-profile boxing match against Tyson and his interactions with WWE star Logan Paul, who also shared a ring with Hall of Famer Mike Tyson. It also suggests the WWE may already be starting to build a story around these wrestling-adjacent moments.
Jake Paul’s WWE Role: A Managerial Ambition?
Recently, Jake Paul has made it clear that he wants to manage rather than compete in interviews where he likened himself to WWE legends like Paul Heyman. He has yet to prove his abilities, but his charisma and mic skills can place him in an ideal managerial or guest spot, especially with his brother Logan.
During a podcast with Logan, Jake suggested he was willing to join WWE rather than later:
“I would love to (come to WWE). But I would want to be your — yeah… I’d wanna be your Paul Heyman. I wouldn’t wanna wrestle as much. I could do some sh*t but I’d want to be your sidekick businessman or some sh*t,” said Jake.
A Strategic Move for WWE
With his athleticism and showmanship in high-profile matches, Logan Paul has proven that the Paul family can thrive in WWE. With his WrestleMania and SummerSlam appearances, his potential as a long-time performer has been established. And Jake Paul may be the next to step into the limelight. If Jake signs into the WWE, that could open the door for some really unique storylines between both brothers and even as a tag team or rivals.
By bringing in mainstream celebrities to WWE, we know that the company has proven its ability to grow its audience. Logan Paul’s WWE story has been a success, and Jake Paul’s fans and media reach could do the same for the company. It also syncs with WWE’s current role where it has collaborated with icons from around the world like Bad Bunny, and Tyson Fury, to name a few.
What’s Next for Jake Paul and WWE?
As there’s been no official announcement, it looks like Jake Paul will make his WWE debut in 2025. WWE could use WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to bring about such a debut, continuing a tradition of dramatic debuts at its largest events.
Now that fans and industry insiders alike all have something to speculate about, there’s a lot of wondering about how Jake Paul could integrate into WWE storylines. Could he get Logan Paul to a world title? Or will the brothers fight in sibling rivalry storylines? Time will tell, but one thing is for certain: if Jake Paul joins WWE, it will be one of the biggest, most talked-about moments of the year.
