Logan Paul has challenged NBA superstar LeBron James to a match at WWE SummerSlam in Cleveland.
Paul, a famous internet personality and the current WWE United States Champion, challenged the Lakers legend on his podcast on Tuesday, while formally announcing WWE’s second-biggest annual show will be held at Cleveland Browns Stadium on August 3.
Both James and Paul are from the Cleveland area. Paul has been an on-camera talent for the WWE since 2022, while James has never appeared for the professional-wrestling company in an official capacity.
Paul listed several Cleveland-native celebrities he wanted to see take part in SummerSlam, including Travis and Jason Kelce. He did not mention if Taylor Swift, Travis’ girlfriend, would get an invite.
Also mentioned by on the podcast as a possible participant were boxer and fellow internet personality Jake Paul, Logan’s younger brother, rapper Machine Gun Kelly, and comedian Dave Chappelle.

‘I want it to be one of the biggest events Cleveland has ever seen and hopefully I get an opponent who I can bring the house down with,’ Paul said.
‘LeBron!’ Paul’s close friend Mike Majlak interjected.
‘I’m probably going to be wrestling LeBron,’ Paul added.
Paul has wrestled for WWE in football-sized stadiums before, including the last two editions of WrestleMania.
After WrestleMania, SummerSlam is considered WWE’s biggest show of the year and is considered one of the company’s ‘Big Four’ of live events that also includes Survivor Series and Royal Rumble.
