Is Logan Paul a respected name in the WWE locker room?

It’s been four years since Logan Paul took the wrestling world by storm. Out of the gate, the 29-year-old seemed to understand the business from an in-ring perspective and it generally does seem as if Logan enjoys being inside of the wrestling ring. 

However, from day one, Paul has gotten a special treatment that WWE tends to give big name celebrities. Logan has been on every WrestleMania card since debut. Plus, he has a part time schedule where he mainly works the big shows throughout the calendar year.

Some guys and girls who work for the company non-stop don’t get the chance to work the big shows like Logan Paul nor are they given the same opportunities as the former United States Champion.

Because Logan Paul gets special treatment, does it mean that he’s not a respected name in the locker room?

Former United States Champion Baron Corbin (who’s going by Bishop Dyer now) spoke to Ariel Helwani on The Ariel Helwani Show,  and discussed plenty of things including Logan Paul and whether he has respect backstage.

"Sure. I don't know. Look, he works hard and wants to go out and perform. I think some of the stuff he has said probably has some truth, and some of it is part of the show, and some of it irritates me for the way he talks about the business. I know sometimes they're just doing it on social media when they're telling you how good they are, but they're in these tiny towns, doing the live events, hitting the road. I don't like those guys that get that super special treatment. It's not like he earned it through working his way up through NXT. He gets that treatment because of his stardom through social media and YouTube. 

He's handed a lot of things that I think there are more deserving talent of it, but he's getting the views. It's a double-edged sword. What do you do with a guy like that? He works hard. When he has big matches, they take guys down to Puerto Rico for him to train with and he wants to learn and get better. I can't stand people who run around with an entourage, he always has an entourage. They're nice people, but it irritates me seeing that backstage.

People respect the work he brings to the table, and the work he's done to get his name to where he is, but I think I'm protective of this industry and when outsiders come in like that with a gold or platinum spoon, I struggle to really buy into it. Some guys have and some guys don't care. Seth Rollins is a guy who doesn't care. 'I'm at the top, catch me if you can,' but there is 85% of the roster that are fighting for spots and when you bring guys like that in, it just takes those spots without any effort. That can be frustrating. When I say, 'Maybe, maybe not,' it's probably a 50/50 split. 

I worked and did segments with him. He was fun and a nice guy. He's a celebrity in his own way and own right. If you ask me to go into the ring and have a match with him, I know we'd tear the house down. We don't have to like each other to do that. I appreciate his love for the fight game. If he ever wants to throw down, I'm happy to do that as well. We can do jiu-jitsu, boxing, whatever. There is money to be made with people like him. That's what WWE sees, the money he can bring to the table and the millions of views he brings. I'm about tired of seeing PRIME bottle, but it is what it is.

Dyer goes on and talks about his surprising WWE release, his future wrestling plans, and so much more during the 40 plus minute interview.
