A megastar has teased that he could make his WWE return under special circumstances. He also confirmed that he would like to be in Logan Paul's corner.
Jake Paul is the younger brother of WWE Superstar Logan Paul. Jake is a megastar in his own right who has accomplished a lot despite being just 27 years old. He is an accomplished boxer who has already taken down a couple of legends of the combat sports world like Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley.
Jake Paul is riding high after he defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson last weekend. Paul has also previously made a WWE appearance at Crown Jewel 2022 to help his brother Logan fight off The Bloodline in the latter's main event clash against Roman Reigns.
Since then, there have been rumblings that Jake could potentially follow his older brother and join the WWE. Speaking on the most recent episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast, Logan Paul asked Jake if he would be interested in joining the Stamford-based promotion. Interestingly, the 27-year-old megastar replied that he would be more interested in performing a Paul Heyman-type role for his older brother instead of wrestling. Logan also seemed interested in his younger brother being his manager.

"I would love to [on coming to WWE] but I would want to be like your Paul Heyman. I wouldn't want to wrestle as much like I could do some s**t but I'd want to be like your sidekick businessman or some s**t." [20:04 - 20:21]
Former WWE writer Vince Russo questioned the legitimacy of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight
After months of hype, Jake Paul finally stepped into a boxing ring against Mike Tyson last weekend. The two men danced around the ring for eight rounds, with Paul winning by unanimous decision. The fight has come under scrutiny by many fans and critics who labeled it as a staged show and a cash-grab opportunity for both boxers.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's Legion of RAW podcast, Vince Russo questioned the legitimacy of the fight, claiming that the 60 million people who watched the fight were ripped off.
"If you don't think this fight was a work, you either didn't watch it or you're a blind person. There is no one, not one person out of the 60 million people that viewed this fight thought this was a shoot. 60 million people were ripped off. Bro, that's gotta be a record. How many people got ripped off at one time?" [From 3:18 onwards]
It will be interesting to see if Jake Paul will join his older brother, Logan Paul, in the Stamford-based promotion anytime soon.
