Logan Paul responds to claims he “flirted” with WWE star while engaged to Nina Agdal
WWE/NetflixLogan Paul says he doesn’t want to cause any “drama” after a backstage altercation ensued over claims that he’d been flirting with another WWE star.
Back on January 27, Logan Paul met up with R-Truth backstage after his match with Ludwig Kaiser and claimed that Kaiser’s real-life girlfriend, Tiffany Stratton, was hitting on him.
“His girl was hitting on me the other day or something, and then he got mad at me for it and tried to attack me. If Ludwig wants me, he can get it. You beat him,” Paul said.
In video footage, Kaiser could be seen chasing after Paul, who is notably engaged to and has a child with model Nina Agdal.
Straton, the WWE Women’s Champion, called the claims “complete BS,” adding that she’s “much better” than ‘The Maverick’ in the ring. Now, Logan has revealed his thoughts on what transpired.
Logan Paul breaks silence on “flirting” with Tiffany Stratton
During an episode of Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, the former US champ interviewed commentator Michael Cole and revealed that Tiffany was supposed to be the guest on the show, but she canceled.
When Cole inquired about what actually went down between the influencer and Stratton, Paul opened up on the incident, calling the alleged flirtation the “dumbest narrative.”
“I don’t even want to feed into it. Michael Hayes (WWE Vice President, Creative Writing & Booking) is the one who started this,” he said.

“I was just telling Tiffany, like a good peer, ‘If you ever need advice on how to be a good wrestler or anything’ – I know she’s the Women’s Champion, but I’m THE champion of everything – so I was just like, ‘Yo, if you wanna learn how to do a good moonsault better, a frog splash, I can help you.”

According to Paul, Michael Hayes came up and told him he was “busted” and accused him of flirting with Tiffany, which opened up a whole can of worms.
“And then Ludwig took it wrong and tried to attack me backstage with a chair because I was ‘flirting’ with his girl, or so he thought. I’m not here to cause drama, I don’t want any problems. I’m here to win.”
While Cole seemed intrigued by the potential WWE “rivalry,” Paul shut the idea down, calling the fiasco “peanuts.”
WWE“I’m wrestling the big matches! The Elimination Chamber, the top three of the Royal Rumble,” the YouTuber dismissed.
Although Paul may not see a future match with Ludwig Kaiser in the cards, ‘The Maverick’ will be competing in the aforementioned Elimination Chamber match in Toronto on March 1 for a chance to fight Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed title at WrestleMania.
