Logan Paul’s WrestleMania 41 victory over AJ Styles has positioned him for a WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity – but the social media megastar may have an unexpected twist planned. Industry observers speculate The Maverick could cede his title shot to undefeated boxer Jake Paul at Backlash 2025, providing The Problem Child’s official in-ring debut against Jey Uso.

The brothers share WWE history, with Jake famously knocking out The Usos during Logan’s 2022 Crown Jewel match against Roman Reigns. Now holding legitimate combat sports credibility after defeating Mike Tyson, Jake represents a viable threat to Uso’s championship reign while preserving Logan’s undefeated ‘Mania streak.

This strategic move would achieve multiple objectives: introducing a new mainstream attraction, prolonging Logan’s championship pursuit, and reigniting the Paul brothers’ rivalry with Bloodline-affiliated stars. While unconfirmed, the scenario aligns with Logan’s pattern of high-impact surprises as he continues transitioning from YouTube personality to full-time WWE competitor.

WWE has yet to officially announce Uso’s Backlash opponent, leaving the door open for what could become one of 2025’s most buzzworthy debuts. The May 10 event marks WWE’s return to St. Louis, Missouri – incidentally the same city where Jake Paul scored his first professional boxing victory in 2020.
