Ric Flair Surprised by Logan Paul’s WWE Skills: “Didn’t Expect Him to Be That Good in the Ring”
WWE legend Ric Flair recently shared his thoughts on Logan Paul’s wrestling career — and the Nature Boy admitted he’s been caught off guard by how well the YouTube star has adapted to the squared circle.
Logan Paul, who initially entered WWE as a crossover celebrity attraction, has steadily silenced critics with his athleticism, timing, and charisma. While many fans expected him to be a short-term novelty act, his performances against superstars like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and The Miz have proven otherwise. Flair, known for being brutally honest when it comes to in-ring talent, admitted that Paul has exceeded all expectations.
“Logan Paul is way better than anyone thought he’d be,” Flair said during a recent interview. “I didn’t expect him to be that good in the ring. The guy looks like he belongs, and that’s not something you can say about many outsiders who try to step into wrestling.”
Paul’s ability to blend his natural showmanship with legitimate athletic ability has made him one of the most talked-about performers in WWE today. From jaw-dropping high spots to smooth execution of technical moves, he’s managed to hold his own with some of the company’s best.
For Flair, who has seen generations of wrestlers rise and fall, the key is that Paul isn’t just “playing wrestler” — he’s earning respect. “You can tell he puts in the work. That’s what makes the difference,” Flair added.
With a growing resume of impressive matches, Logan Paul is no longer just a celebrity guest in WWE — he’s becoming a legitimate superstar. And if Ric Flair is giving you praise, you know you’re doing something right.
