Logan Paul Requested WWE To Let Him Open SummerSlam 2023

On the latest episode of his “IMPAULSIVE” podcast, Logan Paul revealed that he has requested WWE to put his match at the beginning of the SummerSlam 2023 card so he can leave early and attend his brother Jake Paul’s fight with Nate Diaz on the same night in Dallas.

WWE SummerSlam 2023 takes place on Saturday, August 5, at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, while Jake vs. Nate is scheduled to take place on the same night at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

A flight to Dallas takes two and a half hours from Michigan, and Paul noted that the time zone shift may make it difficult as the clock moves back an hour once he enters the central time zone. The boxing match will likely commence at 11 PM CST. Paul said,

“As soon as my match ends, I’m going to hop on a private jet, fly to Dallas in my [wrestling] gear, walk in the ring with my brother for his fight against Nate Diaz. I’m going to try. I don’t know if I’m going to make it, but I think if I do, it’ll be minutes. I walk into the venue round one, Jake Paul-Nate Diaz starts. It is barely possible, but how incredible [would that be]?”

Paul is likely to wrestle Ricochet at SummerSlam 2023, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
