‘Better than anyone in AEW’ – WWE fans react as Logan Paul set to make wrestling return on Raw after calling out The Miz
LOGAN PAUL is set to make his return to WWE just days after calling out former partner The Miz for a SummerSlam showdown.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer, 27, made his bow in the organization on SmackDown last April.
But fireworks didn’t properly fly until he teamed up with The Miz at Wrestlemania 38.
The pair proved to be a devastating duo, defeating Rey and Dominik Mysterio and taking the W in style.
Still on a high from winning his debut match, Paul was blindsided and swiftly betrayed by his partner, who hit him with a Skull-Crushing Finale.
Logan signed a multi-year contract with WWE in June and blasted The Miz, vowing revenge at SummerSlam.

Paul said: “Miz, I don’t know what to tell you, man.
“I’m not confused about what I said and I’m definitely not going to change my mind based on what The Miz said.
“I don’t want to be your partner. I don’t want anything to do with you.
“I said it when I signed my WWE contract and I’ll say it again now so you can read my lips: I’m coming for you, Miz, at SummerSlam. Understand?”
Paul is now set to return to the ring on a Monday night edition of Raw on July 18.
‘LOGAN OWNS THE ENTIRE AEW ROSTER’
The WWE official Twitter account revealed: “NEXT WEEK on Raw – Logan Paul returns!”
Fans were divided over the YouTuber’s participation, with some not sold on the social media sensation.
One WWE fan wrote: “I’m gonna be REAL interested to see if he gets booed or cheered.”
While another added: “Logan’s actually getting some cheers but Miz still owns him.”
But others were more than in favor of WWE’s new star – and let rip at rival organization All Elite Wrestling.
One fan said: “Logan Paul owns the entire AEW roster.”
And another declared: “This announcement just saved the entire raw tonight.”

Logan’s return comes just days after it was reported Tyson Fury is eyeing up a return to the WWE to face either Paul or Drew McIntyre.
The WWE are now hoping they can lure boxing champion Fury and internet sensation Paul into a clash on September 3.
Dave Meltzer said in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter: “It originally was an idea to try and make McIntyre more mainstream and garner publicity for him outside of wrestling.
“Without McIntyre, the question would be who would he [Fury] face.
“It would be a risk since both don’t have much experience, but given that Jake Paul and Tommy Fury [Tyson’s brother] have been linked of late for a fight, Logan Paul would have a storyline to it.”
