WWE Superstar Logan Paul's brother Jake Paul recently went viral for outboxing the legendary Mike Tyson. Despite the fight drawing tons of controversy due to the age gap between the fighters, it did big numbers worldwide.

The highly-anticipated boxing match was streamed live on Netflix, which is all set to become the home of WWE RAW starting in January 2025. So, following in his brother's footsteps, Logan Paul could give the Stamford-based promotion a strong boost in the mainstream circle by bringing a legendary wrestler out of retirement.

There are several Hall of Famers and industry veterans along with whom The Maverick would attract a tremendous amount of eyeballs. Here are four high-profile names.

#4. 2022 WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

It goes without saying that The Undertaker is among the most popular wrestling personalities of all time. The pop he received in his surprise appearance at WrestleMania XL proved that fans still cherish The Phenom.

Following a legendary, near-30-year WWE run, The Undertaker retired after the cinematic 'Boneyard' match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. Even though the match received rave reviews from fans, it's hard to deny that such a generational megastar deserved to retire in a sold-out stadium.

But after last Friday's events, it's safe to assume that all hope is not lost. If 58-year-old Mike Tyson could dare to step into the ring again, the seven-time World Champion can consider one last outing too. Interestingly, The Undertaker himself isn't completely opposed to having one more match. If that happens, the uber-athletic Logan Paul should be the one standing across the ring from him.

#3. The Great Khali

The final couple of years of the Ruthless Aggression era saw The Great Khali not only arriving in WWE but also establishing his spot as a household name.

Within a year and a half of his TV debut, The Punjabi Playboy defeated the likes of The Undertaker, John Cena, Shawn Michaels, and Batista. While his momentum dwindled as the years went by, the impact he made in his first few years in the company alone turned him into a legend, as evidenced by his Hall of Fame induction in 2021.

Even to this day, clips featuring The Great Khali, whether wrestling-related or not, rack up impressive numbers across social media. So, if he were to come out of retirement to participate in an attraction match against social media sensation Logan Paul, chances are it would break the internet.

#2. Ken Shamrock

Logan Paul's response to his brother fighting 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' could be to fight the 'World's Most Dangerous Man,' and luckily for The Maverick, that man happens to be under a legends deal with WWE.

The man in question is none other than Ken Shamrock. Over the course of his wrestling tenure, the former Intercontinental and NWA World Champion wrestled the likes of The Rock, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker. On top of that, he had multiple stints in the MMA world, too, having close to 50 fights on his resume.

To this day, Shamrock remains in fantastic shape. Moreover, his most recent wrestling match took place roughly two years ago. So, now that he's once again affiliated with WWE, a match or two might be in the cards. If that turns out to be the case, a Fight Pit clash against Logan Paul would be a no-brainer.

#1. Shawn Michaels

WWE trusted Shawn Michaels to train Logan Paul ahead of the latter's first PLE main event. Given Paul's performance in said main event (against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022), it's fair to state that The Heartbreak Kid did a phenomenal job teaching the newcomer.

Thus, if The Showstopper decides to step back into the ring for one last showing, it would make sense for him to choose Logan Paul to be his opponent. While Michaels' first post-retirement match was panned by fans and critics alike, he wasn't at fault for the bout being lackluster. The tag-team contest failed to live up to expectations due to Triple H working hurt and The Brothers of Destruction not being in their prime.

But if the two-time Royal Rumble winner steps out of retirement to face Logan Paul, the match could very well be thoroughly entertaining. Michaels still moves like he could go in the ring, and given his outrageously stacked moveset, he could easily adopt a more grounded approach and let Paul take care of the aerial maneuvers.
