The feud between Logan Paul and former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell still seems far from over. Bell has again accused the WWE star of avoiding the proposed fight and raised some questions about WWE’s involvement.
The issue began when Paul offered a $1 million challenge to any football player willing to fight him in a boxing match. This happened after an exchange with Tom Brady, where the NFL legend called pro wrestlers “cute.”
Following that, Paul and Brady took some shots at each other. Later, the WWE star claimed that professional wrestlers are just as athletic as top NFL players and offered a cash prize to anyone who wanted to prove him wrong.
Le’Veon Bell, who has also tried professional boxing, accepted the challenge. At first, it looked like the fight might actually happen. But Paul later shared on social media that the fight would not happen because WWE had blocked it. According to him, WWE officials called and said the risk of injury was too high, especially amid WrestleMania season.
Logan Paul also shared a video that appeared to show him receiving a phone call from someone connected to WWE.
However, Bell does not believe that explanation.
Le’Veon Bell Questions Why WWE Won’t Approve a Fight With Logan Paul
Bell responded on X, calling Paul a “clown” and claiming the phone call was staged as an excuse to avoid the fight. Bell now pointed out what he sees as a double standard in how WWE treats its wrestlers when it comes to competing in other combat sports.
Bell mentioned that Brock Lesnar was allowed to fight in the UFC while he was still connected to WWE. He also noted that Paul himself boxed Dillon Danis in 2023 while under a WWE contract. Because of that, Bell believes that Paul is just avoiding the fight.
it’s just so weird to me the @WWE let Brock Lesnar do MMA while UNDER CONTRACT .. they also let @LoganPaul fight Dillion Danis UNDER CONTRACT, but for some reason won’t let Logan fight me .. ???
seems a little DUCKY if you ask me ??? pic.twitter.com/fIQiaU0z8x

Even so, WWE’s decision could still make sense. With several wrestlers, including Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, dealing with injuries and the company preparing for its biggest event of the year, risking a major star in a boxing match may not be worth it.
