Brock Lesnar: Jake Paul responds to WWE star's unexpected support for him

Jake Paul has responded to the unlikely support levelled his way from current WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar.

During a recent interview, Lesnar was asked about his feelings on Jake and Logan Paul, and the former UFC star seemed to be a fan of the polarising brothers.

Lesnar praised the Paul brothers for thinking “outside the box” and being able to “promote themselves” in the manner in which they have done.

“Great for YouTube. I’m happy for those guys. They worked at something. They built their name up. They thought outside the box, they promoted themselves.”

During the interview, Lesnar was also asked about whether or not the pair would become full-time WWE Superstars, which ‘The Beast’ didn’t rule out:

“Can they become professional wrestlers? Maybe if they puts as much ambition into that.”

Fans of WWE will know that Logan Paul is set to wrestle his first match for WWE next month at WrestleMania, when he teams with The Miz to take on Dominik and Rey Mysterio.

Now, taking to Twitter, Jake Paul has responded to the comments made by Brock Lesnar last week.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer said it was “crazy” to see the positive comments made about him and his brother by Lesnar in his interview.

Jake explained that he and Logan grew up being big fans of Brock, and urged fans to continue to chase their dreams.

Wow Brock Lesnar supporting my brother and I is crazy, we loved him and used to watch him all the time growing up. GO CHASE YOUR DREAMS TODAY.

As of right now, only Logan Paul has appeared in WWE, making his first appearance for the company around this time last year.

Considering the mainstream popularity of the brothers, you have to suspect that WWE will use Logan Paul’s run with the company at the moment to try and lure Jake
