Stephen A. Smith: ‘I Want To See’ Logan Paul ‘Challenge For The’ WWE Heavyweight Title

Stephen A. Smith has a clear vision for where he wants Logan Paul’s WWE career to go, and Logan is fully on board with it.

Speaking with Logan Paul on the Impaulsive podcast, the ESPN host made no secret of his desire to see Paul elevated to the top of the WWE card as world champion.

“I want to see Logan challenge for the heavyweight championship. That’s what I want to see. I want to see it. Right now, he might be a little bit small for the Brock Lesnars and Oba Femis of the world, but I want to see it. I know you open things up, you’re the spark plug, you stir the cup, but I want to see you as the main course. I want to see you close the weekend,” Smith said.

Paul launched into full promo mode in response, making a case for why his overall package sets him apart from the heavyweights Smith mentioned.

“Hey, that’s what I want to see. Me too. Whether I’m a closer or an opener, I can guarantee that when I’m in that ring, you are going to be watching the most entertaining match of the night. I am a showstopper. I steal the show. It is what I do. It is why I’m here. Yes, Brock is a big boy. Yes, Oba is a big boy, but I’m a big personality. I’m a big wrestler, I’m big everything. It’s not just what I can do inside the ring, it’s what I can do outside the ring. Even when I’m doing stuff outside the ring, I’m inside the ring. I’m doing a podcast right now with Stephen A Smith. It’s the number one podcast in the world. I just shot photos with the gang. I was on his show this morning. Guess what? I’m training later. I can do it all. I don’t know if these guys that we mentioned can say the same thing. I’m looking forward to becoming number one in WWE one day. Obviously, everyone loves me and they are very excited to see that happen,” Paul said.

Logan Paul is currently one-half of the WWE World Tag Team Champions alongside Austin Theory.
