Mike Tyson wants to have a go at Logan Paul in the WWE

In his words, "I would do it! I would kick his [expletive] ass, yes I would do it. Even though I love him."

Tyson then joked that while most people think the WWE is fake, the "check is real" and he'd do it for free.

Contrary to the popular belief, Mike Tyson never actually wrestled for the WWE. Although he appeared in the WWE (or the WWF) a couple of times, it was mostly as an attraction. Specifically, the legendary heavyweight boxer was the special guest enforcer at WrestleMania XIV when Austin faced off against Shawn Michaels for the WWF Championship, which was also the last appearance of the Winged Eagle title belt.

Most recently, Tyson has been involved with the AEW, specifically in a feud against Chris Jericho. Ironically, Tyson knocked out Jericho on the January 10, 2010 episode of Monday Night RAW.

According to Jim Ross, there was never really a plan to have Tyson wrestle in the WWE but not for the lack of trying.

Of course, this could all change really soon. Triple H, who was previously in line to have a "boxing match" against Tyson at WrestleMania 17 in 2001, is the new head of creative, and they've worked closely together over the years. Not to mention, a Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson match, perhaps at WrestleMania 40, could be an excellent opener on either Day 1 or Day 2 of the event.

If ever this dream match happens, there would be no shortage of fans who'd line up to see it happen.

Speaking of Logan Paul, The Ultimate Influencer has officially signed a new contract with the WWE and is now expressing his interest to contend for the WWE Heavyweight Championship Belt. The WWE will crown the first WWE Heavyweight Champion at the Night of Champions on May 27. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What did Mike Tyson say about wrestling and Logan Paul?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Mike Tyson said that he's a huge fan of wrestling and would love to get into a tussle with Logan Paul in the WWE.
