Logan Paul has officially put pen to paper and signed a multi-year contract with WWE. Paul is officially a WWE Superstar.

Paul had a tag team match at WrestleMania 38 this past April and was a guest in WrestleMania 37, where he was stunned by Kevin Owens as the crowd cheered:

The reaction from the pro wrestling community has been a bit of a mixed bag, but there has been plenty of buzz:

You have people making light of the signing, which, honestly, it's pro wrestling, so how can't you poke a little fun?

But there is plenty of understandable displeasure from fans due to Paul's controversial history:

Unfortunately, unlikability SELLS in the WWE, and Paul does have some legitimate athletic ability and an understanding of playing the heel (bad guy), so I think most fans understand the purpose behind the signing.

Celebs stepping into WWE TV are usually disliked by the pro wrestling community no matter who they are, but with some unlikely exceptions.

I'm clearly not alone in wishing it was Bad Bunny who received a contract.

Hats off to Bad Bunny and any celeb who steps in the ring, because pro wrestling is very physically demanding. I'm sure the pay is incredible, but you know most stars are doing this for fun and love of rasslin':
