Logan Paul has made clear who he wants to face once he is medically cleared to return to the ring: Joe Hendry. Paul, who has been sidelined by injury, addressed the potential showdown during his latest vlog, according to Fightful and Wrestling Headlines.
The interest in a Hendry match is not new. Hendry has spent recent months needling Paul with his signature music videos and original songs, including a track titled “Fire Logan Paul,” which has reportedly gotten under Paul’s skin on multiple occasions. Despite the trolling, Paul singled out Hendry as one of the first wrestlers he wants to step into the ring with when his recovery is complete.
Neither Fightful nor Wrestling Headlines specified the nature of Paul’s injury or provided a timeline for his in-ring clearance, so any match between Paul and Hendry remains speculative until WWE makes a formal announcement.
Paul Praises EK Prosper’s Announce Table Moonsault
During the same vlog, Paul also reacted to a high-risk spot from NXT competitor EK Prosper, telling him, “Brother, you got balls,” per Fightful’s report. The moment in question came during the September 29 edition of WWE NXT, when Prosper challenged Grayson Waller for the WWE NXT Championship. In the course of that match, Prosper hit a springboard moonsault off the ring apron through the announce table on the outside.
Paul, who has executed a similar springboard moonsault spot of his own in a previous match, noted the difference between his version and Prosper’s attempt, though the specific comparison was not detailed beyond his vlog reaction. The outcome of the Prosper-Waller NXT Championship match was not included in the available reporting.
For now, the Hendry comments represent the most concrete development: a sidelined former pro boxer and social media star publicly naming his preferred comeback opponent, and a former NXT North American Champion who has made a habit of baiting that very opponent from a distance. Whether WWE books the pairing once Paul is cleared remains to be seen.
