We are steaming ahead toward WrestleMania 39, which will be another two-day WWE spectacular. Mania this year comes from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Saturday, April 1, and Sunday, April 2. The theme is all about WrestleMania going Hollywood – this makes sense given that the event is basically in Los Angeles – so it is fitting that the match of the weekend will feature a celebrity performer.

Rollins Vs. Paul
Sure, this match hasn’t been announced yet, but it is only a matter of time before WWE adds Seth Rollins vs. Logan Paul to the WrestleMania card.
The seeds for this feud were planted at the Royal Rumble when the Maverick eliminated the Visionary when Rollins looked to be in a great position to win the match and move on to the main event at WrestleMania. The storyline was furthered at Elimination Chamber when an injury angle allowed Paul to sneak into the chamber. One Buckshot Lariat later, and Rollins US Title hopes were no more.
Comments on WWE After The Bell saw Rollins take shots at Paul and how the way he has entered wrestling s is bad for the very foundation of the business. Rollins talked about how the way to come through is to earn your stripes, wrestling all over the world and training for years instead of being an influencer doing this as a side hustle.
It is an easy story to tell. It is also the right story to tell, given how Paul is seen as an outsider and how he is already disliked by the WWE fanbase (especially those hardcore fans who will be at ‘Mania) for his very existence as a celebrity. Paul comes off as unlikeable (be it an image or his reality) so the crowd will be white hot when this match happens.
As much of a jerk as his image has created, there is no doubt that Paul can work. He is taking this seriously – something that no one was sure would happen when he first appeared on the scene – and his athletic ability and size make him a natural fit as a wrestler. Putting him in the ring with Rollins – legitimately a top-three worker in the entire business – will make for a great match.
Their chemistry is already there, and Paul and Rollins will come up with a spot or three that makes this the most talked about match from ‘Mania weekend.
Always remember folks. Pro Wrestling is Real.
