Wrestling star tips MrBeast to go head-to-head with Logan Paul in headline fight
A wrestling star has tipped MrBeast to go head-to-head with Logan Paul in a headline fight.
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Kenny Omega has revealed that he thinks there is a possible fight between the two YouTubers in the near future.
Logan Paul and MrBeast could headline an event together, according to Omega.
Paul moved away from social media and turned his hand to wrestling in 2021 after making his WWE debut.

The following year, the YouTuber signed a multi-year contract with WWE, fighting under the name ‘The Maverick’.
Meanwhile MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, also broke into traditional media with his TV show Beast Games launching on Amazon Prime.
Donaldson also owns a chocolate brand, Feastibles, which collaborates with Paul’s brand, Lunchly.
And it seems that the influencers could collaborate on another venture as Omega believes the pair could headline a WrestleMania event together.
Appearing on an episode of the AAA Podcast, the wrestling legend spoke to YouTuber Adi Shankar, where he said: “I don’t know if I’ve ever said it publicly or not, but I mean, I think we’re headed on a path where, a couple of WrestleManias down the road, the main event’s gonna be Logan Paul vs MrBeast.
“It’s like, what is the wrestling acumen? How many miles have they put into it? Does it matter? It’s the process of evolution. People are getting cast in roles for films just based on their social media following.
“That’s kind of in relation to the Logan Paul thing. He just decided he wanted to try wrestling… I would say it’s more that, but also, that thing that was once so protected, that insider industry kayfabe… the doors are almost wide-open. It’s a paper-thin curtain.”
Paul isn’t the only social media star that has paved a career in wrestling as his own brother, Jake Paul, has also been making waves, even fighting Mike Tyson in an event that seemed to grip the world.
Jake has gone on to claim that he has dreams of becoming a legitimate world champion.
After his fight against Tyson, Jake appeared on his brother’s podcast, Impaulsive, to share his thoughts on the fight.
He said: “I wish he would have put up a better fight so I could have risen more and done more.
“He was surviving, so that was the only thing I didn’t like.”
Jake added: “I want to be a world champion, that’s my goal.”
