Wrestling fans might call him part-time, but Logan Paul is having none of it. Fresh off a high-profile victory over AJ Styles at WrestleMania 41, the former United States Champion has addressed criticism over his limited WWE appearances and declared that he's always ready to step up when the call comes.
Paul, known globally for his YouTube stardom before entering the ring, is now in his fourth year with WWE. However, questions continue to swirl around his sporadic match schedule. As of April 2025, he has only competed in four matches this year. Despite that, Paul insists the issue is not a lack of commitment, but rather about timing.
Speaking at the WrestleMania post-show press conference, Paul fired back at the critics who label him a “part-time performer.”
“I’m available. I’m here. I signed up to be a WWE Superstar,” he said. “When Triple H calls me, I answer the call. Whoever he wants to put against me goes from professional wrestler to victim. It’s been that way for the past year.”
Paul emphasized that he doesn’t choose when to show up, he simply rises to the occasion when WWE needs him. With a 3-1 record at WrestleMania, including wins over top names like Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and now AJ Styles, Paul has shown he can deliver on the big stage.
Navigating fame and full-time expectationsSome fans argue that his high-profile slots at Premium Live Events come at the expense of full-time talent. But Paul isn’t fazed. He credits his performances for silencing critics.
“I put on five-star matches every single time. Whoever they want to put me against, I’ll rise to the challenge - and not only rise to the challenge, I’ll become the challenge.”
Paul’s most recent win came with a bit of controversy. At WrestleMania 41, distractions from Karrion Kross and Paul’s entourage helped him secure the victory over Styles, a veteran with nearly three decades in the business.
Outside the ring, Paul continues to stay in the spotlight. On a recent episode of his podcast, he claimed that WWE legend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin turned down $1 million to appear at WrestleMania dressed as a Prime energy drink bottle. Though the story raised eyebrows, Austin did make an appearance - although with an accidental ringside crash on his ATV.
Love him or hate him, Logan Paul’s star power is undeniable. And if his words hold true, fans can expect to see more of him.
