Logan Paul has just signed with WWE, so we’ll check out the extra details of his deal. We’ll
also see what’s going on with Mandy Rose and Nikkita Lyons, Ronda Rousey, and much more
Let’s start things off with the biggest news of the week so far
and that’s WWE’s official signing of Logan Paul
Logan Paul and WWE’s collaborations with one another all started back in early 2021
Sami Zayn had his whole storyline going on
at the time about how he believed there was conspiracies against him in WWE
So he was working on a documentary that would expose what he thought WWE was doing to him
In one of Sami’s interviews about the conspiracy documentary,
he mentioned how he was gonna send it out to all these big platforms to expose the truth,
he specifically name dropped sending it to Logan Paul as well, since Logan has a big audience
Logan Paul responded to Sami’s comments on Twitter about the proposal and it looks like
it was around this time where WWE and Logan Paul began their communication
Logan would align himself with Sami Zayn and would appear on WWE television throughout the weeks
leading to Wrestlemania 37 and would even make a special appearance at Wrestlemania 37 itself
Then a year later, Logan Paul was brought back again for an even bigger role at Wrestlemania
Logan Paul would team up with The Miz to take on The Mysterios at Wrestlemania 38
in his first ever official WWE match
For being a celebrity and stepping foot inside the ring for his first ever WWE match,
Logan Paul was definitely impressive in the ring
It was always rumored and expected that Logan Paul and WWE would continue their short terms
collaborations for future appearances, but no one really saw this coming
Logan Paul took to Twitter to officially confirm
that he has signed with WWE to be an actual WWE superstar on their active roster
Logan signed the contract at WWE’s headquarters with Triple H
and Stephanie McMahon standing over his shoulders
As far as the details of Logan’s WWE contract,
it’s a multi-year that contains an undisclosed number of live event appearances per year
Logan’s first major appearance from this new contract with WWE
will be this year’s Summerslam event
Considering how his Wrestlemania match ended with The Miz attacking him and how
The Miz recently brought all this back up on Raw, it definitely appears that whatever
Logan Paul ends up doing at Summerslam will involve The Miz in some capacity
it doesn’t look like it would make any sense for them to team up again,
so maybe it’ll most likely be a singles match between Logan Paul and The Miz
But it’s official, Logan Paul’s appearance can no longer be labeled as a celebrity appearance,
he’s an official WWE superstar from here on out

Ronda Rousey made her shocking return to WWE earlier this year at the Royal Rumble
But some of the confusion during those first few weeks of her return was about her character status
Was she still a heel, picking up from where she left off at in 2019?
Or was she back to being a babyface?
During her first few appearances on Raw and Smackdown,
Ronda seemed so cold towards the fans and no one knew what her character status really was
until later on when it became more clear that she was a babyface
Well Ronda Rousey recently spoke with the DC Check-In and revealed that the original plans
for her WWE return had to be changed due to the crowd’s reaction towards her at the Royal Rumble
Ronda said that the initial plan was for her to return as a massive heel,
but after hearing the reaction to her entrance at the Royal Rumble, it was Vince McMahon himself
who suggested that them changed directions and have Ronda continue as a babyface
Ronda said that WWE officials did tell her to smile more and be more engaging
with the fans after Vince McMahon made the babyface turn official
So if you were wondering why Ronda’s character came off as bit strange during those first few
weeks of her return, it was because Ronda was under the impression that she was a heel and
WWE was just trying to feel the crowd reaction out to get a sense about what direction to take her in
They ultimately decided to turn her babyface and have her dethrone Charlotte Flair as well
Ronda is currently feuding with Natalya, but she could potentially have a lot of more big feuds
on the horizon such as Shayna Baszler, and maybe event another rematch with Charlotte Flair

NXT featured another big return this week, this time being Nikkita Lyons
Nikkita was recently out of action for several weeks due to an injury
and the timing of the injury was just so unfortunate because
she was gaining a lot of fan support and was a big favorite to win the tournament that was going on
But Nikkita Lyons returned this week and really picked up from where she last left off at
Nikkita Lyons found herself on a big platform of being in the NXT main event
against NXT womens champion Mandy Rose
The two of them went back and forth a lot during that match,
but it would ultimately end in disqualification after the rest of Toxic Attraction got involved
What’s interesting about that finish though is
that it goes down in the books as Nikkita Lyons defeating Mandy Rose
So does that give Nikkita Lyons a reason to keep coming after
Mandy Rose and turn this into a title opportunity? That could be a possibility
Nikkita spoke after the match and talked how she just beat Mandy Rose
and how she smells the fear coming from Toxic Attraction
So all signs seem to be pointing towards a Mandy Rose
versus Nikkita Lyons feud starting up here real soon

During John Cena’s return to Raw, he interacted backstage with a lot of different superstars
He reunited with some superstars that he has a lot of history with,
and even met some superstars for the first time
One of those superstars that John Cena came face to face with for the first time was Theory
This was an interaction that everyone expected to see
during John Cena’s return night on Raw and that’s exactly what happened
Originally, fans thought Theory would no doubt be the individual to interrupt
John Cena’s celebration, but Cena’s celebration was left uninterrupted,
and they had the Theory and Cena interaction take place backstage
Theory called John Cena out for never being around anymore,
called him out for wearing jean shorts in 2022, and continued to
take shots at Cena until he turned around and tried to take a selfie with John Cena
Cena would end up walking away before Theory took the picture
John Cena had a lot of backstage interactions that night in Raw,
but this one clearly stands out as the most important interaction
that will most likely have the most significance in the near future
Rumor is still that Theory vs John Cena for the United States title is still on for Summerslam,
so it definitely appears that there will be a payoff for theory and Cena’s interaction backstage
John Cena didn’t give much details during his return promo
about when we’ll see him again and when he’ll be wrestling again
But with Summerslam only being a few weeks away on July 30th,
it would appear that John Cena would have to be around on Raw during the month of July
Will John Cena make some appearances on Smackdown during this run?
That’s still unknown, but he’ll most definitely be spending the majority of this 2022 run
on Monday night raw by the looks of this potential Summerslam feud with Theory
And John Cena specifically said during his Raw promo that it’s
not gonna he just one match and not to worry about that
So that’s very promising as well because John Cena 2021 run
was literally just one match on WWE programming
So if he’s already promising that we’ll see more than just one televised match
during this 2022 run, that already sounds event better than what he did in 2021
But what are your thoughts on all of todays stories with Ronda Rousey,
Nikkita Lyons, Logan Paul, and John Cena?
