Social media star-turned-wrestler Paul has shone since joining WWE in June 2022.
He even holds the United States Championship and has enjoyed a number of matches against top stars, leading to Rousey’s claims.

The man who has been helping Paul is Shane ‘The Hurricane’ Helms, a WWE legend
The chap in question is none other than WWE legend Shane Helms, as Grimes said during an appearance on the Busted Open show.
‘Over the past year, Shane Helms, I want to go ahead and put his name out there, he’s always been very pivotal in my career. And he did so much for me,’ Grimes began.
‘In the past year — he’s the guy behind Logan Paul.
‘No one knows that because he doesn’t want to say it, but he’s the guy behind Logan Paul.
‘Every time Logan’s going to have a match, he’s the one that’s helping him,
‘In the past couple matches, I was Shane’s helper to Logan. So I got to be around them and kind of help that. So that was something that was really cool.
‘This WrestleMania, I got to help be a part of that Triple Threat match and help kind of put some pieces together for that. So that was incredible for me.
‘Literally two weeks ago I was at the biggest WrestleMania of all time and I was sitting in Gorilla [position] for a match that I got to help kind of — I didn’t put the whole thing together but I got to help put pieces to that.’
