Logan Paul reached out to Cameron Grimes after his WWE release

United States Champion Logan Paul was among the people who reached out to Cameron Grimes following his release from WWE.

During a Thursday appearance on Busted Open Radio, Grimes was asked if he was shocked by anyone who reached out after his release. Grimes said, with Paul being the level of star he is, he thought it was cool that Paul contacted him.

"This is going to sound like weird because the level of star he is," Grimes said. "Logan Paul actually reached out to me. And I thought that was pretty cool because, you know what I mean, he’s a megastar really -- and even beyond past wrestling. He reached out to me and said some stuff to me. So that helps me feel good."

Grimes noted that he helped put together some of Paul's WWE matches, including Paul's title defense against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 40.

"And over the past year, Shane Helms, I want to go ahead and put his name out there, he's always been very pivotal in my career. And he did so much for me. In the past year -- he's the guy behind Logan Paul. No one knows that because he doesn't want to say it, but he's the guy behind Logan Paul. Every time Logan's going to have a match, he's the one that's helping him," Grimes said.

"In the past couple matches, I was Shane's helper to Logan. So I got to be around them and kind of help that. So that was something that was really cool. This WrestleMania, I got to help be a part of that triple threat match and help kind of put some pieces together for that. So that was incredible for me. Literally two weeks ago I was at the biggest WrestleMania of all time and I was sitting in Gorilla [position] for a match that I got to help kind of -- I didn't put the whole thing together but I got to help put pieces to that."

Grimes was released from his WWE contract this Tuesday. Jinder Mahal, Xia Li, Veer, Sanga, Xyon Quinn, and Von Wagner have also been released from the company in advance of the 2024 WWE Draft.

The draft begins on SmackDown tonight. With Paul being United States Champion, he isn't eligible to be drafted. Paul will remain part of the SmackDown roster.
