WWE Superstar Faces Severe Punishment, Receives Ban
Former WWE United States Champion Logan Paul reveals plans to join MrBeast’s Egypt pyramid exploration video were denied by government officials.
Logan Paul claimed the Egyptian government specifically prevented his participation in MrBeast’s recent pyramid exploration video. During his vlog, Paul addressed his intended involvement in the video, which has received over 120 million views.
Mr. Beast just uploaded a new video exploring the pyramids or something. I love the pyramids. So I was like ‘Jimmy, can I come?’ And he was like ‘For sure dude.’ Then a week later he called me and was like ‘Dude, unfortunately, the Egyptian government said that you can’t come, otherwise we can’t come.’
Paul expressed surprise at the situation, questioning the specific exclusion:
I was like ‘Wait what? I know I pissed people off but the Egyptian government? I’ve never even been to Egypt, why can’t I come to the pyramid Jimmy?’ He said ‘I don’t know the government specifically said you are the only person that cannot come on this trip.’
The WWE star has faced similar international travel issues before. In 2017, Paul received backlash following a video from Japan’s Aokigahara forest that contained footage of a suicide victim. While Paul maintains he is not banned from Japan, he stated he would only return with an official invitation.
