WWE are interested in a segment involving Logan Paul and Mike Tyson at WrestleMania next year, according to a report.
Tyson has hit the mainstream media once again in recent months amid his boxing fight with Jake Paul, which was broadcast on Netflix on Friday night and saw Paul win via unanimous decision.
As is the nature with crossover boxing, influencer Paul has lifted the status of former world champion Tyson, who has refused to rule out another fight despite admitting he nearly died earlier this year, to the limelight again.
He has a history with WWE, being a prominent figure in the attitude era and being heavily involved at WrestleMania 14, before returning in 2010 and having his only professional wrestling match against Triple H and Shawn Michaels.
In 2012, Tyson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and has maintained a strong relationship with the company. Now, he could be set to return once again, for a segment with Paul’s brother, Logan.
Logan is a WWE star and former United States champion, and, according to WrestleVotes, could be set to step inside the ring with Tyson in one way or another when WrestleMania 41 comes around next April.

‘Jake let him live!’ Logan Paul addresses Mike Tyson’s challenge
The report suggests that there is ‘interest’ in a potential face-off between the duo following the success of Friday night. In the aftermath of the fight, Logan told the 58-year-old he would ‘kill’ him after Tyson called him out for a boxing match next.
Paul has had mixed reviews around his work in WWE. Debuting in 2021 as a celebrity guest, he began training in wrestling and debuted at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. His success would continue, eventually claiming the United States championship.
Though the influencer impressed with his quick adaptation to the nature of professional wrestling, his appearances were sparse, with the now-29-year-old unable to commit to a full-time schedule despite being a champion.
He dropped his belt to LA Knight at SummerSlam in August, and has not been seen in the promotion since.
Still, it it likely he will be involved at WrestleMania due to the star power and following he boasts, and a segment with Tyson could make sense for all parties involved.
After the fight on Friday, Logan told Mail Sport: ‘I f***ing love Uncle Mike. That was impressive.’
When asked if he would take a potential fight against him, he shook his head and said: ‘I think he wants money, I don’t think he want to fight me. Uh-uh.’ When asked why, he remained silent.
Tyson, though a WWE Hall of Famer, has also been involved with All Elite Wrestling, WWE’s arch rivals, in recent years.
His future remains unclear, with his time in the boxing ring seemingly not up despite his recent struggles. He did, though, reject an approach from former rival Evander Holyfield to arrange a trilogy fight, with Holyfield eager to push the cause on Instagram.
