On the fans of Logan Paul and The Rock becoming fans of WWE: “So, if you’re someone who is just looking to absolutely maximize your opportunity and to just make an impression on them? This is money in the bank that’s going to start acquiring interest next year because the retention of those fans? They become your fans.”
On other talents who will benefit from Logan Paul’s buzz: “One day it will be their turn to bring in the audience with them, and allow someone else to capture the imagination. The opportunities that exist right now for LA Knight, Austin Theory? And to a smaller extent, me.”
