Paul made his pro wrestling debut in 2021. He appeared on a segment where Sami Zayn was promoting his documentary.

Paul returned to a WWE ring in July 2023, competing in a Money in the Bank ladder match. While he lost that match, many were impressed by his athleticism. Paul also started a rivalry with Ricochet, facing him at SummerSlam on August 5 and winning the bout by using brass knuckles.

Paul returned to the ring in 2021 to face boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition. The bout went the distance but wasn't scored. “The Maverick” has since called out Mayweather for not paying him and threatened to sue the Hall of Fame boxer.
