Logan Paul has made the shocking announcement that he has retired from professional wrestling.
Paul had been signed with the WWE since 2022 and had been one of the company's biggest stars over the last few years despite his limited experience inside the squared circle.
Paul has not been seen on WWE programming since August, when he lost the company's United States Championship to LA Knight. Paul became a father for the first time in September with his fiancee Nina Agdal.
'I'm retired. I'm a dad, bro,' Paul said on his podcast on Thursday.
Paul had previously stated he attended a Netflix event with the WWE prior to the company brining its flagship weekly television show, 'Monday Night RAW', to the streaming service in January.
Paul could be keeping under wraps plans for his return by dismissing any future, as he has had a few surprise appearances over the last few years.

Paul brought up his retirement when asked about his involvement in WrestleMania 41, which will take place in April in Las Vegas.
Paul has been credited with adapting to the sport of wrestling quickly with impressive performances in premium matches.
If Paul's wrestling career is over, his only title win was his United States championship reign of 273 days.
Before working for the WWE, Paul was a well-known YouTube personality, frequently collaborating with his younger brother, Jake Paul.
Logan was ringside for Jake's mega fight against Mike Tyson last month that aired on Netflix.
Netflix revealed that an average of 60million viewers tuned in for the fight at AT&T Stadium.
WWE's WrestleMania 41 will take place April 19 and 20 from Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders and this year's Super Bowl.
