Logan Paul might be WWE’s top villain right now, but Drew McIntyre believes he’s destined to become a fan favorite. Here’s what that could mean for Logan’s wrestling future.
From Booed to Beloved? WWE Star Thinks Logan Paul’s Big Turn Is Coming
Logan Paul has built a pretty solid home for himself in WWE — as a villain everyone loves to hate. Whether it’s through cocky mic work, flashy moves, or just his general Logan-ness, the crowd has never had trouble booing the YouTuber-turned-wrestler.
But according to one of WWE’s top stars, Logan might be closer than he thinks to winning the fans over — even if he’s not planning on it.
Drew McIntyre Sees a Babyface in Logan’s Future
During an episode of imPaulsive, Logan’s own podcast, former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre dropped a prediction that caught some fans off guard:
“Eventually, people don’t believe it and can laugh, but eventually you’re going to turn babyface (good guy),” McIntyre said.
“There is a fine line between love and hate, and, eventually, you’re going to get wildly cheered down the line.”
McIntyre praised Logan’s impact so far in WWE, calling everything he’s done “a slam dunk.” He encouraged him to keep crushing it now while also thinking long-term about where the character’s heading.
Translation? The more Logan shows up and shows out, the more likely fans are to flip from booing him… to cheering him.
The WWE Heel-to-Hero Pipeline Is Real
WWE fans love a redemption arc. Just ask guys like The Rock, Roman Reigns (pre-Bloodline dominance), and even John Cena — all of whom got booed before being loved (or vice versa). It’s kind of a rite of passage in the business.
So while Logan’s persona screams heel right now, history says the “good guy” turn is almost inevitable — especially if he keeps pulling off viral moments and solid in-ring performances.
Next Stop: SummerSlam Showdown with Jelly Roll & Randy Orton
Logan’s next big WWE moment is coming up at SummerSlam, where he’ll tag-team with McIntyre to face off against Randy Orton and… yep, country music star Jelly Roll.
(Yes, that’s a real sentence. Welcome to WWE.)
It’s a high-stakes match for Logan, especially after his last major tag match — where he teamed up with John Cena — ended in an injury. He’ll definitely be hoping for a better outcome this time.
Why This Could Be Huge for Logan’s WWE Career
If Logan does make that babyface turn one day, it wouldn’t just change his vibe — it could catapult him to megastar status in WWE. Fan-favorite merch, main-event pushes, title runs… it’s all in reach if the crowd flips.
💡 Pro Tip: In wrestling, a “heel” is the bad guy, and a “babyface” is the hero. Switching sides (a “turn”) is a major moment in a wrestler’s character arc — and it can make or break careers.
Summary
- Logan Paul is one of WWE’s biggest villains right now.
- Drew McIntyre says fans will eventually love him — and he’ll become a babyface.
- The two are teaming up at SummerSlam against Randy Orton and Jelly Roll.
- Logan’s next big moment might not just be in the ring — it could be in the crowd’s reaction.
Whether you love him or love to hate him, Logan’s wrestling journey is only just getting started. And if Drew’s right, we might all be chanting his name sooner than expected. (Weird, right?)
