Logan Paul has directly addressed dissenting voices within WWE regarding his accelerated placement in significant company spots. His comments arrive amidst a backdrop where some performers, who have dedicated more time to the wrestling industry, question the opportunities afforded to Paul.
Recently, Karrion Kross voiced a perspective, indicating a preference for WWE to develop its full-time roster for viral exposure rather than depending on external personalities, asserting that the company’s dedicated talent possesses the capability to achieve such reach if provided the platform.
Responding through his latest vlog, Paul offered his rationale for his current standing within WWE.

It’s my understanding that some of my peers are not happy that I get these shots so quickly in my career. Let me break it down for you.
He continued, directly challenging the notion that his social media virality is the sole driver of his opportunities.
In your simple brains, do you think I’m here because I go viral? You see the numbers and you think that’s why I’m here. No. The reason that I’m here, the reason that I’m given these opportunities so early in my career is a) because I’m fantastic, but b) because I’ve been getting those impressions for a decade now.
Paul elaborated on the value he brings through his established viewership.
And with those impressions comes an audience, a fanbase, eyeballs. That’s why I’m here. Because people watch what I do. They care what I do.
He further emphasized the nature of audience engagement as a critical factor.
Whether they’re on my team, they want me to win, whether they’re waiting for me to fail – doesn’t matter, they’re watching, and that’s the currency: Attention.
Paul concluded his statement with a direct question aimed at those who find issue with his role.
So my question would be, for the people who have a problem with my position in the WWE – who’s watching you?
