WWE responds to CM Punk\u2019s AEW debut with Logan Paul return AEW \/ WWEWWE responded to former superstar CM Punk\u2019s debut on AEW by making a special announcement of their own \u2014 Logan Paul will return to Monday Night Raw for the third time in 2021. Logan Paul burst onto the fighting scene in 2019 after taking on Olajide Olayinka Williams \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji in a sanctioned boxing match. He kicked it up a notch in 2021 after going the distance against Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout. But that\u2019s not all he\u2019s been up to. He made his professional wrestling debut for WWE after apppearing alongside Sami Zayn on Friday Night Smackdown. He was also floored with a Stone Cold Stunner from Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 37 a week later. And now that CM Punk debuted on AEW after a shock switch to the rival company, WWE responded by getting Logan to come back for the third time. He\u2019ll appear alongside The Miz and John Morrison on Monday Night Raw. MONDAY on #WWERaw! \ud83d\udca6@TheRealMorrison @LoganPaul @mikethemiz pic.twitter.com\/EmLZ8ScXHa \u2014 WWE (@WWE) August 21, 2021 It\u2019s hard to imagine that he\u2019ll get a pop from the crowd that rivals what we saw during CM Punk\u2019s AEW debut. After all, the near-capacity crowd blew the roof of the stadium as the iconic superstar walked out to his trademark song. In fact, the loudest pop he got last time was when Kevin Owens dropped him. But that doesn\u2019t mean he won\u2019t be a useful asset. Some would say he\u2019d even make the perfect heel given the mixed opinions people have about him.

However, there\u2019s no denying that Logan is a huge draw given his popularity on the internet, especially among younger fans. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out once the show goes live on Monday, August 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
