Logan Paul has not wrestled since 23 May 2026, when he tore his triceps defending the World Tag Team Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event, and WWE executive Michael Hayes says he is not cleared until at least November.1 The break has not taken him out of the news: his Prime co-founder KSI left the Sidemen in May after 13 years, and the drinks partnership is the one business tie between them that still makes headlines.2
Few people who started on a phone app fit on as many kinds of list. Logan Paul was a Vine comedian, then a daily vlogger, a podcast host, a boxer who fought KSI twice and Floyd Mayweather once, a WWE champion and the owner of the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold. Here he is on 14 rankings.
The further a list gets from YouTube, the stronger Logan Paul's case: among creators he is one loud name of many, among celebrities who stepped into a WWE ring he holds championships none of the others won.
PewDiePie vs Logan Paul: the greatest YouTubers of all time
The 17 greatest YouTubers of all time is the widest list Logan Paul belongs to, and the most crowded. PewDiePie, MrBeast, Casey Neistat, Jenna Marbles and Markiplier made the cut, and KSI did too.
Logan Paul's claim is reach. His Logan Paul Vlogs channel, opened in August 2015, had 23.6 million subscribers by 2023, and Forbes put him among YouTube's highest-paid creators in 2017, 2018 and 2021.3
PewDiePie holds the older and deeper claim. He built the gaming commentary format a generation of channels copied, and his 2018–19 subscriber race with T-Series turned an audience into a movement.
Logan Paul's best reply is range. No other channel here comes with a WWE title attached.
Logan Paul vs Casey Neistat: the best American YouTubers
The 25 best American YouTubers is where the Ohio-born Logan Paul meets the vlog tradition he grew out of. MrBeast, Jenna Marbles, David Dobrik and his younger brother Jake share the field.
Casey Neistat made the daily vlog a genre in 2015 with a camera, a drone and a boosted board on the streets of New York. His edits came from a filmmaker's habits, and the camera stayed pointed at the city as often as at himself.
Logan Paul started his daily vlog that same year from Los Angeles and pushed it toward stunts, pranks and volume. The upload count was the point.
Neistat's admirers credit him with the craft. Logan Paul's defenders point at the copycats: the loud, every-day, fully-staged vlog that dominated the late 2010s looked more like his than like Neistat's.
YouTube in the 2010s: Logan Paul's best and worst decade
The 26 best YouTubers of the 2010s is a decade list, and the decade was Logan Paul's whole YouTube career. He registered his first channel in October 2013 and was one of the platform's biggest earners by 2017.
The same decade holds his lowest point. On 31 December 2017 he posted a video filmed in Japan's Aokigahara forest that showed a dead body; it drew 6.3 million views in a day before he took it down, and on 10 January 2018 YouTube removed his channels from its Google Preferred ad programme.3
Zoella stands for the gentler 2010s. The Brighton beauty and lifestyle vlogger built a brand and a bestselling novel out of a bedroom camera.
Both belong. One shows what the decade sold to advertisers, the other what it eventually had to answer for.
Lele Pons vs Logan Paul: the top Vine stars
Before YouTube, Logan Paul made six-second comedy, and the Vine stars ranking is where his career starts. Twitter's six-second video app ran from 2013 until it shut down in January 2017.
In 2015 Logan Paul was named the tenth most influential figure on Vine.3 His loops leaned on physical stunts, which travelled well at six seconds.
Lele Pons, a Venezuelan-American sketch comedian from Miami, is his natural opponent: she turned the same app into a music and television career. Zach King's editing tricks and a teenage Shawn Mendes, who sang six-second covers before a record deal, sit on the same list.
Jake Paul is here too. Two brothers from the same Ohio suburb on one Vine list shows how much of today's creator economy came out of that app.
Impaulsive vs H3 Podcast: podcasts hosted by YouTubers
The 12 best podcasts hosted by YouTubers ranks shows, not hosts, so Logan Paul is here as Impaulsive. The first episode aired on 20 November 2018, and the show won the Streamy Award for best podcast the following year.3
H3 Podcast, hosted by Ethan and Hila Klein, is the obvious rival: long, unscripted and built on commentary about other creators. Views, from David Dobrik's circle, and Markiplier's Distractible fill out the American side of the list.
Impaulsive works as Logan Paul's switchboard. Boxing announcements, WWE storylines and Prime launches have all passed through it, which makes it the one place where his other careers meet.
KSI vs Logan Paul: the best YouTuber boxer
The YouTuber boxer ranking is the one built for KSI and Logan Paul, because their two fights made influencer boxing a business. The first, in August 2018, ended in a majority draw; in the professional rematch at the Staples Center on 9 November 2019, KSI won a split decision.3
That record is KSI's strongest card against Logan Paul. Two fights, one win, one draw.
Jake Paul has the strongest card of all. The younger brother turned professional, beat a run of former MMA champions and headlined Netflix events against Mike Tyson and Anthony Joshua.
Logan Paul's counter is the opponent list. He went the distance with Floyd Mayweather, which no one else on this list has tried.
Mayweather vs Logan Paul: boxing's most disappointing megafights
This ranking lists the fights that sold far more than they delivered, and Mayweather vs Logan Paul is on it as an event. The exhibition at Hard Rock Stadium on 6 June 2021 went eight rounds with no winner announced and sold 1,000,000 pay-per-views in the United States.
CompuBox had Mayweather landing 43 of 107 punches and Logan Paul 28 of 217.3 Paul survived; the fight never became a contest.
Mayweather vs McGregor shares the list. The 2017 crossover with the UFC star at least ended in a stoppage, in the tenth round, while Tyson vs Jake Paul puts the other brother on the same page.
The case for Logan Paul here is that the disappointment was priced in. Nobody bought the fight expecting a result, and a million households paid anyway.
Bad Bunny vs Logan Paul: the best celebrity wrestler in WWE history
The celebrity wrestler ranking holds people famous elsewhere who wrestled real WWE matches, and it is where Logan Paul's record stands out most. He debuted at WrestleMania 38 on 2 April 2022, teaming with The Miz to beat Rey and Dominik Mysterio, and took the United States Championship from Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel in Riyadh in November 2023, when CBS Sports counted eight WWE matches on his record.4
Bad Bunny is the strongest challenger. The Puerto Rican star won a tag match at WrestleMania 37 and a street fight in front of his home crowd in San Juan at Backlash 2023, and wrestlers praised how fast he learned.
History supplies the rest. Mr. T teamed with Hulk Hogan at the first WrestleMania in 1985, and Floyd Mayweather knocked out the Big Show at WrestleMania XXIV in 2008.
Neither of them, and nobody else on this list, held a WWE championship. Logan Paul has held two.
WWE's part-timers: Logan Paul in The Rock's company
The part-time wrestler ranking changes the company Logan Paul keeps. Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Goldberg and The Undertaker are here, legends who chose a short schedule late in their careers.
Logan Paul works the same kind of calendar, a handful of big events a year, but arrived without the history. His best credential is the World Tag Team Championship he and Austin Theory won on Raw on 30 March 2026.
The Rock defines the category. A film career kept him out of the ring for years, and each return was booked as an event.
Pro Wrestling Illustrated gave Logan Paul a different kind of recognition: its Most Hated Wrestler of the Year award for 2025.3 For a heel, that counts as a compliment.
Prime and a record Pikachu card: Logan Paul in business
The YouTuber-turned-entrepreneur ranking measures what a creator built off camera. Logan Paul's entry is Prime, announced with KSI on 4 January 2022; Bloomberg reported sales of $250 million in its first year and $1.2 billion in 2023.5
The decline came fast. NielsenIQ data showed Prime's UK sales falling 48% in 2024, the steepest drop of any food or drink brand there.
His most profitable deal was a trading card. Logan Paul bought a PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator in 2021 for $5,275,000 and sold it at Goldin on 16 February 2026 for $16,492,000, a Guinness world record for any trading card at auction.6
MrBeast is the benchmark. Feastables and his burger chain grew out of the biggest channel on YouTube, and his supporters say that is the difference between a brand and a fad.
IShowSpeed vs Logan Paul: influential internet personalities of the 2020s
The 2020s influence ranking mixes streamers, short-video stars and a few survivors from the decade before. Logan Paul is one of the survivors, next to MrBeast, Kai Cenat, Khaby Lame and Charli D'Amelio.
IShowSpeed is the bridge between the two generations. On the Raw of 30 March 2026 the streamer interfered in the street fight that won Logan Paul and Austin Theory the tag titles, a WWE storyline built on a creator crossover.
Speed's own reach comes from live streams and world tours. Logan Paul's influence in this decade is structural: exhibition boxing, the creator drinks boom and the route from YouTube to a WWE contract all run through him.
From Vine to Airplane Mode: Logan Paul as an actor
The YouTuber-turned-actor ranking is Logan Paul's weakest showing. His screen credits include Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2015, the YouTube Red thriller The Thinning in 2016 and the comedy Airplane Mode in 2019.3
Donald Glover started in Derrick Comedy sketches online and went on to Community and Atlanta, which won him Emmys for acting and directing. Bo Burnham, Quinta Brunson and Awkwafina sit on the same list.
Logan Paul's acting was a sideline. His best performances happened in a wrestling ring.
Westlake, Ohio: Logan Paul among Armstrong, Edison and LeBron
The most famous people from Ohio ranking puts Logan Paul, born on 1 April 1995 in Westlake, a suburb of Cleveland, among astronauts, presidents and inventors. Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, Thomas Edison and Orville Wright are all here.
LeBron James is the modern Ohio hero. The Akron native brought Cleveland its 2016 NBA title.
Logan Paul is a small name in this company, and so is his Cleveland-born brother Jake, also on the list.
Jake Paul vs Logan Paul: the most overrated YouTubers
The 14 most overrated YouTubers ranking is the unflattering one, and both Paul brothers are on it. MrBeast, PewDiePie, David Dobrik and James Charles share the page.
Logan Paul's file is long. CryptoZoo, the NFT game he launched in 2021, left buyers with assets that never worked; after Coffeezilla's investigation he promised a $1.3 million refund in January 2023.
Jake Paul's file is different: boxing results his critics call matchmaking. The two brothers split the charges between them.
The defence is the size of the audience. An overrated list only holds names people rate in the first place.
A wrestler first, a YouTuber second
Logan Paul's YouTube lists are full of people who did one thing better than him. His wrestling lists are not, and that is the strangest result of a career that started with six-second jokes.
All fourteen rankings are built from head-to-head picks, so a celebrity can be weighed against The Rock without a spreadsheet. If a creator you follow has a second career, put both careers in a ranking of your own.
