He had previously made his WWE debut back in April. The American has also experienced fighting in another ring, having had one professional boxing match with fellow YouTuber KSI, followed by an exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather.

The Ohio-born star now looks set to reignite his feud with veteran wrestler The Miz. During Paul’s debut, he joined a tag team with the superstar at WrestleMania 38 but The Miz turned on him - flooring him with his trademark Skull-Crushing Finale finisher after the duo beat The Mysterios.
Paul and The Miz are set for a heated meeting at SummerSlam at the end of July. The 27-year-old revealed the news to his 23.2 million Instagram followers with a picture of him next to WWE bosses Stephanie McMahon and Paul "Triple H" Levesque.
In a video message shot at the company's headquarters, the 27-year-old turns to the camera and says: "The Miz is dead to me, he is my enemy, and I signed this contract so I could beat his ass at Summerslam."
Meanwhile, his brother Jake’s big boxing bout with Tommy Fury remains in doubt following the Brit being unable to fly over to the US for the fight’s press conference after being stopped at the airport earlier this week.
