Logan Paul’s brother Jake and former WWE Superstar Matt Riddle may face off one day, but if it happens, it won’t be under MMA rules.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it is reported that while Riddle has spoken directly with Paul, a fight under MMA Rules is off the table. The report states,
“Matt Riddle and his reps spoke directly to Jake Paul of late regarding doing a match. Paul expressed no interest in facing Riddle under MMA rules, where Riddle would have the experience edge even though he hasn’t been active or trained for fighting for years. Riddle was willing to do a boxing match, and at this point, it’s up to Paul’s side, which obviously it always would be since he’s the A-side.”
Riddle was released from WWE in September of this year, the first wave of releases of the TKO era, and was one of the biggest names cut at the time.
Jake Paul has yet to compete in WWE but appeared in support of his brother when Logan challenged Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022.
