WWE is gearing up for a historic move as the flagship show of the promotion, Monday Night RAW, is ready to make a monumental shift to Netflix from January 6. Logan Paul has officially confirmed that he will move to the red brand, leaving SmackDown. He even voiced that he will capture the World Heavyweight Championship next year. However, the social media star made waves online lately for his potential bout against a UFC legend. It appears that the 36-year-old star has confirmed the reason behind this surprise super-bout.

Logan Paul is set to compete in a mega-money fight against 36-year-old Conor McGregor in a boxing exhibition in India underneath the Ambani family’s banner. A couple of recent reports have revealed some fresh insights on the bout; a source has claimed both parties will be receiving $250 million to lock horns inside the ring at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.

Recently, an X (formerly Twitter) account shared a report stating that the potential reason behind the multi-million dollar fight in India between Logan and Conor was that it would be part of the historic "Visit India" campaign, which means the authorities in India have bigger goals from this bout. Not only do they want to earn money, but they also want to promote India’s tourism with it. The Notorious One endorsed the report by reposting it and quoting a heart with the Indian flag.

Big matches are rumored for Logan Paul in WWE

Logan Paul’s last appearance on WWE television was at SummerSlam 2024, where he lost his United States Championship to LA Knight in a singles match. The Maverick has definitively proved critics wrong and has made a name for himself as a legitimate superstar.

While the 29-year-old star is all set to return next year, some major bouts are reportedly being pitched for the social media megastar. A bout against John Cena at WrestleMania 41 was reported recently. However, a source later revealed that some higher-ups were against the pitch. Some are even anticipating a feud between Paul and World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.

However, these points are hypothetical for now. It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has in store for Logan Paul in the coming months.
