Why Seth Rollins Should Beat Logan Paul At WrestleMania 39 (& Why Paul Should Win)
Barring any last-minute changes or injuries, Seth Rollins and Logan Paul will collide in a high-profile match on the WrestleMania 39 card. The storyline between these two came out of nowhere, as 'The Maverick' has turned heel and gone after the former WWE Champion in the process.
The match is expected to be one of the most important on the card and promises to be a show-stealer. However, as is the case with any important WrestleMania match, fans understandably debate who deserves the win. In the case of Seth Rollins vs. Logan Paul, both men have their reasons to walk away with the victory.
10 Logan Paul: Needs Major Singles' Victory
Since showing up on WWE television in 2021, Logan Paul has had one of the most impressive celebrity runs ever. At this point, it's hard to consider him in that category as well, as he's become a full-time roster member that has a legitimately bright future. That being said, he's yet to score a win over a major name in a singles match.
While Paul destroyed The Miz at last year's SummerSlam, a win over Seth Rollins would be massive for the YouTuber. While everyone already knows that he's great, a big victory could help give him a massive boost of momentum.
9 Seth Rollins: Loss Would Damage His Stock
Seth Rollins is currently in a bit of a weird position. While every fan knows that he's one of the best wrestlers on the planet today, he's also been losing, a lot. While Rollins has handled those losses well, they shouldn't make a habit of that being the case.
In fact, it would be a bit hard to take Rollins seriously if he came up short once again. In order to keep his stock and value as a main eventer high, the former WWE champion needs the win.
8 Logan Paul: Build On Momentum

7 Seth Rollins: Builds to Championship Match
A loss could knock Seth Rollins out of WWE championship contention, which is the exact opposite of what should be happening right now. In fact, with a win, he could be pushed into a perfect situation, as the current WrestleMania main event features Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
Rollins has a history with both men, as he never got a rematch from his last outing with Reigns last year despite winning by disqualification. The chapter on his rivalry with Rhodes isn't done either, despite The American Nightmare being up 3-0 in the series.
6 Logan Paul: Doesn't Need to Win The Feud
While WrestleMania is normally supposed to blow off and close out a lot of feuds, the case with Seth Rollins and Logan Paul is a bit different. While this storyline began back at the Royal Rumble, they've barely shared the ring, and their match isn't even official.
With that in mind, there can be multiple matches between the two. If that winds up being the case, Paul could start off the series with an upset win at WrestleMania, and get even more heat for the angle.

4 Logan Paul: Viral Moment
On the other side of the coin, professional wrestling is a business. It's especially a business that is dependent upon stars and viral moments. To this point in his career, Logan Paul has been unable to have a match without a viral clip coming out of it.
A win over a former WWE champion in Seth Rollins would provide another such moment. While some would roll their eyes at Paul getting the win for business reasons, that's just how it works sometimes.
3 Seth Rollins: Provides a Fresh Start
Seth Rollins is stuck in a bit of a weird position, not a bad one, just a strange one that he hasn't been in for a while. While he's always been believable as a face, heel, champion, or challenger, the former WWE champion has been losing a lot lately.
A dominant win over Logan Paul provides him a chance to get back on the right track after coming out on the wrong end of his feud with Austin Theory. Even if Rollins doesn't head back to the main event scene, a big win provides a chance for a fresh start.
2 Logan Paul: Star-Making Performance
As previously noted, Logan Paul has defied expectations to this point in his career thus far. While he's put on some incredible matches and had some awesome moments, it still feels that he's on the verge of breaking out, and his best is yet to come.
A match with Seth Rollins at the grandest stage of them all provides Paul with the ultimate opportunity to become a star. On paper, if the YouTuber pulls off the victory, fans would be upset, However, when Rollins and he tear the house down, a win won't seem that crazy.
1 Seth Rollins: Needs A WrestleMania Win
Sometimes, it's best to just go with the simplest and most logical answer. While Logan Paul has looked great in his limited in-ring chances thus far, he shouldn't defeat Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39 because he doesn't need the win.
Rollins could benefit more from a win at this stage in his career. Paul will always be a star, and his future won't be destroyed by losing to one of the greatest of all time in his fifth match ever.
