WWE yesterday announced the following:
“Logan Paul is officially back after signing a WWE contract earlier this week. The YouTube megastar took to social media to break the news and share photos of his visit to WWE Headquarters. Paul didn’t waste the opportunity to also deliver a message to The Miz following their run-in at WrestleMania. Paul teamed with The A-Lister at The Showcase of the Immortals only to have The Miz drop him with a Skull-Crushing Finale following a win over The Mysterios. After speculation they might once again team up, Paul made it clear he’s out for payback at SummerSlam.”

Also, MMA rising sensation Valerie Loureda announced today on Ariel Helwani’s show “MMA Hour” that she has officially signed a contract to join WWE. Affectionately known as “Master” for her in-ring skill, the 23-year-old compiled a 4-1 MMA record while fighting in Bellator. An international Taekwondo champion and black belt, Louredo has already made waves in the MMA world with her infectious personality and social media presence.
Bellator’s Valerie “Master” Loureda is following in the footsteps of Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, and other MMA athletes-turned-professional wrestlers. According to ESPN, Loureda had a tryout with WWE in April and early May and called her manager crying and saying she didn’t want to leave. “I just want to get better,” Loureda told her manager, not wanting to miss out on any training.
