Logan Paul made his return to WWE at the Royal Rumble, and now Elon Musk has indicated what his next blockbuster feud could be.
Paul was last seen on WWE television at Crown Jewel, where he took on Roman Reigns in a quest to become Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Reigns retained at the event in Riyadh, handing the YouTube star his first defeat in a WWE ring.
While Reigns walked away with the title, Paul left Saudi Arabia with an injury, having hurt his knee in the bout. Though it was initially feared the star may have torn his ACL, it turned out to be damage to the MCL and meniscus, which is far less severe.
As such, Logan Paul was healed in time to make his return at the Royal Rumble in San Antonio, TX on January 28th, entering to massive boos from the crowd inside the Alamodome. Despite the negative reaction, the star put in a massive effort, and had one of the spots of the night when he and Ricochet collided in the middle of the ring in a double splash after jumping off the ropes on sides opposite one another.

One fan took to social media to respond to the incredible stunt, seemingly commenting on the physical resemblance between Ricochet and Andrew Tate, who was incarcerated in Romania in December on charges of human trafficking and kidnapping. When saying that the spot seemed close to a Paul vs. Tate match that has been teased in the past, Twitter owner Elon Musk weighed in and joked that confrontation is “only a matter of time.”
It’s only a matter of time 😂

Logan Paul Previously Challenged Andrew Tate To An MMA Fight
Though Logan Paul is no stranger to wanting to create huge moments by calling out other massive celebrities for a fight, his animosity toward Andrew Tate is more personal. Not only was Tate negotiating to face Logan’s brother Jake Paul in a boxing match prior to his December arrest, he’s also called out Logan Paul in the past and accused him of steroid use.
During an October 2022 interview with the TimboSugarShow, Logan responded to Tate’s trash talking and challenged him to an MMA fight, something outside the wheelhouse of the celebrity boxers.
“So I got a solution, why don’t we do something that both of us have never done? Clean record, 0 and 0, let us step into the f***ing octagon brother. An MMA fight, me vs. Tate, in the UFC. Bro, he knows how to kick, I can’t throw a kick for my life. He has two of the three skillsets, I have two of the three skillsets. He’s a world-champion kickboxer, I’m a YouTuber with no wins, bro. What are you f***ing running from?” (h/t eWrestlingNews)
