Jake Paul has expressed that he might not be physically prepared for the demands of professional wrestling. With his brother Logan making waves as a full-time WWE superstar, Jake has stated he has no desire to step into the ring himself.
In a recent conversation with Newsweek, Jake discussed the possibility of managing Logan but vehemently ruled out wrestling. He stated,
“I might be interested in managing Logan, very much in the spirit of Paul Heyman in WWE. However, I’m not convinced that my constitution would be compatible with the rigorous athleticism and the extreme nature of what WWE typically demands. My back would most probably give way.”
Elsewhere, Cody Rhodes has been considering his options in the aftermath of an unexpected black eye received from rapper Travis Scott during the Elimination Chamber: Toronto pay-per-view event. This incident coincided with John Cena taking a surprising heel turn and teaming up with The Rock.
In a recent dialogue with Complex, Rhodes responded to queries about planning a “receipt,” a retaliatory move against Scott. He revealed,
“I’m not really upset per se. However, I am exercised and keep my eyes peeled for an opportunity, something we might characterize as a ‘receipt’. Should Travis Scott find his way back to WWE, a receipt could await him. Interestingly I was a fan of Travis Scott prior to the incident, even purchased his kicks on [Sneaker Shopping].”
Rhodes also spoke about his ongoing rivalry with The Rock, one that has lasted more than a year and culminated in The Rock demanding Rhodes’ soul. Despite rejecting The Rock’s proposition at WWE Elimination Chamber, The Rock has since been left unmentioned by both Rhodes and John Cena.
In his chat with Complex, Rhodes was queried about any message he had for “The Final Boss.” To which he responded,
“Just a lone message for The Rock which I am sure he will get. I wish for the Final Boss to kick back and take cognizance of WrestleMania 41 as I make him a fortune, so they leave the extravaganza musing over me rather than him. However, as the ‘boss’ he gets to benefit in similar ways but in all honesty, I’m grateful to him. He has a unique approach which may seem unorthodox, but I’ve learned significantly from him and look forward to learning more.”
