Attack 25-time champion; form dream team with top heel? - 5 ways Logan Paul can return to WWE despite retirement claims

Logan Paul emerged with one of the smoothest transitions as a celebrity-turned-wrestler, fans have ever seen. However, he recently made a bold claim about his future in WWE.

It is no secret that Logan Paul certainly knows how to deliver quality entertainment. His matches against Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, and Ricochet are prime examples of his athletic capabilities. However, on the latest edition of his IMPAULSIVE podcast, he stated he had retired from professional wrestling now that he was a father.

While this announcement could concern some fans, retirement claims in professional wrestling often have a high chance of not coming to fruition. With that in mind, let's see five ways how The Maverick could return to the ring:

#5. Enter the Men's Royal Rumble

Now that Survivor Series is in the history books, WWE's next major premium live event Royal Rumble is set to take place on February 1, 2025. It will feature the Men's Royal Rumble Match which is famous for the surprises and returns it always showcases.

Logan Paul could return during the 30-man match to surprise the crowd and potentially deliver a show-stealing moment to be remembered for years. He could also begin his Road to WrestleMania 41 by starting a rivalry with someone during the bout.

#4. Go after the Intercontinental Championship

Logan Paul held the United States Championship for an impressive 273 days and also challenged for the Undisputed WWE Championship on multiple occasions. However, he hasn't held the Intercontinental Title yet.

Currently, the Intercontinental Championship is in the custody of Bron Breakker, who has been a dominant champion, to say the least. Logan Paul could confront the youngster on the Netflix debut episode of Monday Night RAW. The two could ultimately battle it out on The Grandest Stage of Them all.

#3. Try to regain the United States Championship

Logan Paul held the United States title before losing it to LA Knight at SummerSlam 2024. He hasn't returned to reclaim the title he lost yet but could do it soon.

The YouTube sensation could begin a rivalry with Shinsuke Nakamura over the United States Championship by confronting him on a future edition of WWE SmackDown. The company could also insert LA Knight into the feud to book a Triple Threat Match for the title at Royal Rumble.

#2. Ally with Dominik Mysterio at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event

Fans have been speculating about Logan Paul forming a dream team with Dominik Mysterio considering the two youngsters are experts at gathering nuclear heat from the WWE Universe. It hasn't happened yet but it could materialize soon.

At WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, The Judgment Day's Finn Balor will face Gunther and Damian Priest with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line. The company has featured several tensions between him and his stablemates over the last few months.

It could all lead to Dominik Mysterio betraying Finn Balor at Saturday Night's Main Event to introduce The Maverick as The Judgment Day's newest member. A moment like this would set the wrestling world on fire.

#1. Logan Paul could attack John Cena at WWE RAW on Netflix

WWE RAW will move to Netflix starting January 6, 2025. With that, the company plans to feature John Cena as one of the key attractions for the premiere. It could be topped off if Logan Paul confronts and attacks the former 25-time champion in WWE.

The moment will gather organic heat and could lead to a dream match between the youngster and the WWE legend on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Fans will love to see John Cena fight wrestlers of this generation during his Farewell Tour before he hangs his boots for good.

While these are great ways to book the monumental return, the Stamford-based company could find an even better way to surprise the fans if Paul's return is in the works.
