After defeating Mike Tyson despite astonishing criticism, Jake Paul has recently revealed that he is eying on to join WWE for the aid of his brother but the YouTuber-turned-boxer shared that he will stay out of in-ring competitions preferably taking a managerial role like WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman. It appears that Jake Paul has not much interest in stepping into the locker room or the ring for a fight.
Jake Paul wants to be Logan Paul’s Paul Heyman
Paul Heyman’s legendary status seemingly impressed Jake Paul as he is looking for a similar position at WWE managing his brother and former United States champion Logan Paul. Appearing in Logan’s Impulsive podcast, Jake shared that he is willing to join WWE but as his manager.
“I would want to be your like Paul Heyman. I wouldn't want to like wrestle as much like I could do some shit, but I would want to be like your sidekick business man,” Jake told Logan during a recent episode of his podcast.
The Paul brothers are two of the most prominent internet sensations, the YouTuber-turned-stars in the boxing and wrestling worlds have already made their names heard. Still, they are far from a slew of controversies. Recently, Jake defeated legendary boxer Mike Tyson in a fight that was aired on Netflix with reportedly 108 million viewers worldwide. The fight, however, invited a series of controversies as Tyson, despite his glorious boxing career is 58 while Jake is just 27.
Also, leading up to the fight, Tyson faced numerous medical challenges. It has raised speculation that the event was more about securing a payday than delivering a fierce contest. When asked if he eased up during the match, Paul admitted, "Yeah, definitely," adding that he "wanted to give the fans a show."

There was a point where I was like ‘OK, he’s not really engaging back.’ And so I don’t know if he is tired or hurt or whatever, and I could just tell that his age was showing a little bit and I just have so much respect for him and that violence, war thing between us … kind of went away as the rounds went on,” Paul added.
Reportedly, Paul earned a hefty $40 million just for stepping into the ring, while Tyson walked away with a $20 million payday.
