Kurt Angle is of the belief that Logan Paul can become a world champion in WWE.
Logan has taken to pro wrestling quite quickly, only debuting in the sport at WrestleMania 38 in April of 2022.
Since then, he has competed in several high profile singles matches, most recently defeating Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel 2023, capturing the WWE United States Championship in the process.
Speaking on True Geordie, Angle discussed Logan’s ability and what he can accomplish in a professional wrestling ring, noting that he could become a world champion one day.
“He’s another kid that has really, at first, I was like, ‘He’s a YouTuber, he’s just trying to get the fame.’ But he was producing. He’s winning fights. Then he goes to the WWE, and he shows his athleticism. It’s like, woah, this kid has it. Why did this kid start out with YouTube? Why didn’t this kid be a pro boxer when he was younger or a pro wrestler? This kid has the ability to be those, all those, all the above. Watching him, I’m literally impressed by his skills. I’m really happy for him. He just won the US Title. I think that’s a great accomplishment, for only wrestling your eighth match. I will tell you this. I won the Intercontinental Title wrestling my ninth match. So I know the feeling. But he’s on that level with me and Brock, he really is. I think if he continues on and he has more experience, because he’s not quite experienced enough yet, I think if he gets more experience, he’s gonna be really, really good, and I think he’ll end up being world champion,”

Kurt was then asked what kind of advice he would give the social media mega star if he had a conversation with him.
“Try not to spread yourself too thin. I know he’s got a bunch of shit going on. His PRIME drink and wrestling. I don’t know if he’s still fighting or not. He got the YouTube thing, I don’t know if he’s still doing that. But he seems to be all over the place, and that’s really good, as long as he has a great management team. But just try to focus on one or two things and do the best you can at those one or two things. I think that’s the one thing I would say to Logan. If you love wrestling, focus on it. Make it your first love, and make it first priority. Do what you gotta do to become world champion,”

It is unknown when Logan will return to WWE television, but he was recently announced for WWE Elimination Chamber next year.
