KSI is excited to see what Logan Paul can do as an official WWE superstar.

The controversial YouTuber’s former rival turned business partner has responded to the news Logan has put pen to paper on a multi-year deal with the wrestling giant, and he was blown away by the announcement.

He replied on Instagram: ‘Been watching WWF/WWE for so years and to see you achieve this is legit unbelievable. Congrats (sic)’

KSI and Logan previously fought in a boxing match, but have since become partners after launching their Prime drink – which featured in the photos released from the latter’s WWE contract signing – in 2021.

In a simple statement announcing the news, Logan wrote: ‘Just signed with the @WWE’.

Fans got a glimpse of what to expect from the social media sensation when he stepped into the ring alongside The Miz against Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, Texas back in April.

Commenting on his contract, WWE legend Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque tweeted: ‘I think it’s safe to say @LoganPaul shocked the world with his abilities as a guest at #WrestleMania … just imagine what he’ll do as a @WWE Superstar. Congratulations and welcome!’

And Stephanie McMahon – who is serving as interim chairwoman and CEO – added: ‘Welcome to the dance @LoganPaul. Excited to have you as a part of the @WWEUniverse!’

Meanwhile, the new signing used the opportunity to lay a gauntlet down for Miz, delivering a message towards his rival, holding up a piece of paper which read: ‘Coming 4 u @Miz.’

Although all signs are pointing to Logan facing The Miz this summer after the A-Lister betrayed him at Mania, there’s a chance he could be joined in the ring by KSI one day – at least if the British star has his way.

KSI has made no secret of his love for WWE, and he’d be delighted to follow in his business partner’s footsteps by stepping into a wrestling ring.

‘Man, that’s my childhood. I used to watch Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Sting, Mick Foley/Mankind, The Undertaker, all these guys, Triple H,’ he said last year. ‘I’m a fan, so it would be a dream come true to fight in the WWE.’

WWE Raw (Mondays) and SmackDown (Fridays) air weekly at 1am on BT Sport 1.
