Jake Paul Says TKO Barred Him From WWE Appearances

Paul attributes the alleged ban to his rivalry with UFC over fighter pay.

Overview

  • Jake Paul says TKO Group will not let him attend or appear at WWE shows, including events where his brother Logan wrestles.
  • Paul links the move to a business feud between his Most Valuable Promotions and UFC, and he named UFC figurehead Dana White as opposing him.
  • TKO Group owns both UFC and WWE, a corporate setup that can restrict crossover appearances across the two properties.
  • Paul kept up his push on compensation, citing a $12,000 UFC minimum purse that he says should increase.
  • Fightful, ClutchPoints, and Dexerto reported Paul’s comments and did not include a response from TKO, UFC, or WWE.
