What did WWE say about allegedly offering Lele Pons a $20 million contract? Logan Paul spills the beans

Social media star Lele Pons made headlines in the wrestling world when she claimed she turned down WWE's $20 million offer while on Logan Paul's podcast. The Maverick has now provided an update on the alleged offer.

The Stamford-based promotion is no stranger to inviting celebrities, music artists, and even social media influencers into the mix. Some mainstream names who have recently competed in the company include Johnny Knoxville, Bad Bunny, and Logan Paul.

After rumors about the Venezuelan-American YouTuber turning down an impressive offer from the wrestling company, Logan Paul seemingly set the record straight. As per The Maverick on his recent Impaulsive podcast episode, the Stamford-based promotion reached out to him to clarify that they did not offer Lele Pons a $20 million deal.

"[WWE] reached out to me and were like, ‘FYI, we did not offer Lele Pons $20 million.’ I knew that, I didn’t think anyone would take it serious," said Paul.

Lele Pons on the reason why she turned down WWE's alleged offer

Pons rose to fame on social media by creating skits, which would be a useful skill in WWE, alongside her familiarity with the camera. However, it looks like the YouTuber needs to prepare further if she decides to step inside the wrestling ring.

Lele Pons revealed that even if WWE offered her a large sum of money, she would turn it down if she was not mentally ready. The star added that being a pro wrestler requires dealing with criticism and insults, and she wasn't comfortable with confrontations.

"You know, it takes a lot of energy, how do you deal with that? For me, they can offer me $20 million. It's not about the money, I swear. It really isn't, we fight a lot about this. It's because like mentally I wanna be really prepared because you have to be mentally prepared. You should not give a f*ck about what people are saying because there's a lot of confrontation. And I suck at confrontation. You tell me something and I am just like 'you're right.'"

The 26-year-old star may not be seen in the Stamford-based promotion in the near future, but it's still possible that the company will bring in more mainstream names. It remains to be seen which celebrities will make their presence known in the squared circle soon.
