Logan Paul Reveals WWE Initially Rejected His WrestleMania 39 Entrance
WWE were not too keen on the zipline
Apr 5, 2023
Logan Paul has revealed that WWE initially rejected his WrestleMania 39 entrance request.
In a scene reminiscent of Shawn Michaels's iconic entrance from WrestleMania XII, Paul made his way to the ring with the aid of a zipline. However, it took some convincing, as Logan explained during a recent edition of his IMPAULSIVE podcast:
"Get me as high as I can possibly go (in a ring). I love flying which is why I requested the zipline. I requested this zipline (for) last year's WrestleMania, my first-ever WrestleMania ever. I said, 'WWE, can I get a zipline in?'. They're like, 'Why don't you get a match in first, kid?'. I was like, 'I get that, I get that'. But this year, I requested the zipline again, it got denied and I was like, 'Hey, it is like a liability thing? Can I convince them to do it? Is it an insurance thing? I'll cover it' and the WWE got me a zipline into SoFi Stadium for my birthday…
"Like four different companies (were contacted to get that zipline setup squared away). Very expensive stunt and I love the WWE so much for doing this because when I was flying in the air on that zipline, I'm looking around at all these eyeballs and phones just pointed at me and ever since I moved out to Hollywood which was where WrestleMania took place this year, my goal was to be the biggest entertainer in the world and Goddamn, in that moment I felt like the biggest entertainer in the world".
WWE have been hesitant to do stunts featuring cables and great heights since the tragic accident that killed Owen Hart at Over the Edge 1999.
Logan Paul lost to Seth Rollins in their match on night one of WrestleMania 39.
