The WWE Universe is most likely aware of Logan Paul's success and fame as a social media and YouTube star. However, some may not be aware of Logan Paul's athletic background. The social media star experienced a significant amount of sporting success during his formative years.

During his high school years, Logan Paul rose to the ranks as an all star linebacker on his high school football team back in 2012. Furthermore, Logan Paul also qualified for the state-level Ohio High School Athletic Association Division 1 Wrestling Individual Championships in 2013.

Because of his amateur wrestling background, Logan Paul has often toyed with possibly entering the world of Mixed Martial Arts during his career.

Nevertheless, because of Logan Paul's athletic pedigree, he could be a perfect candidate to transition into training to become a professional wrestler. Some of the biggest superstars in the history of WWE had backgrounds in football and wrestling before entering the squared circle.

Names such as Kurt Angle, Chad Gable, Dolph Ziggler and Brock Lesnar all had extensive amateur wrestling backgrounds before seamlessly transitioning into the world of sports entertainment.

That's not to say that Logan Paul will ever be as successful as those names. However, athletic background is something WWE talent scouts look for when recruiting talent for developmental contracts.

By appearing on WWE television and accompanying Sami Zayn to the ring at WrestleMania, Logan Paul would certainly have his foot in the door with WWE. Who's to say that Paul wouldn't be interested in training as a professional wrestler for a match sometime in the future.
