Logan Paul claimed that he is banned from attending his brother’s matches in WWE.

In a recent appearance on the Undefeated & Undisputed podcast, Jake Paul claimed that TKO Group (WWE & UFC’s parent company) has banned him from attending WWE events, and he is unable to attend his brother, WWE star Logan Paul’s matches.

Attributing the ban to the ongoing beef between Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions and the UFC and Paul’s previous spats with UFC President Dana White, over multiple issues, including the controversial fighter pay, Paul said:

“I don’t take any beefs too serious. I think it’s definitely in the name of entertainment. However, there is truth in it and there are points and some certain facts that I would like to see pushed through. Like the UFC fighter minimum pay being $12,000, that needs to rise.

But from my side, I’m just having fun and the fact that one of the biggest organizations in the world, the TKO group, has this major beef with me. They won’t even let me go be in my brother’s WWE matches because they hate me so much. So it’s pretty wild how much under their skin we are.

To me, it’s just been a fun journey. I enjoy s** talk. Like when people make fun of me. I’m easy to make fun of. I’m able to make fun of myself. So the beef, to me, is just fun and entertaining for everybody.”

In another appearance on a stream with 6ix9ine, Paul further commented, “Dana White and them hate me so much… They don’t want to have me on there because it’s indirect promotion of me as a brand. They won’t even let me be in my brother’s WWE wrestling matches… They won’t even let me be in WWE, they hate me so much.”

No, Jake Paul is not banned from attending WWE shows. This, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, who claimed that those in WWE have clarified that Jake is, in fact, not banned from attending WWE shows.

Paul’s last WWE appearance was at the 2022 edition of Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Jake interfered in Logan’s Undisputed WWE Universal title match against Roman Reigns.

In an interview with Newsweek in 2025, Paul expressed interest in becoming Logan’s manager, while denying any interest or plans for making an in-ring debut.

“I would be down to be Logan’s manager, Paul Heyman-style in WWE, but I don’t think my body is cut out for the athleticism and the madness that the WWE takes. I feel like I would break my back. I definitely want to do MMA...”
