The WWE superstar typically seconds his brother to the ring, so it's hard to imagine he won't be there, although WWE is airing Smackdown on USA Network at the same time. I think Logan being there to support his bro is a good bet.

Mike Tyson-Jake Paul prediction
I grew up watching Tyson knock out everyone. But late in his career, he was a shell of his former self. And that was when he was in his 30s. Now he's pushing 60. The boxing ring is no place for a guy of his age, especially one with his health issues. Still, if he lands that one punch, Paul is going to sleep. But the younger fighter won't allow that. This fight gets stopped somewhere in the middle rounds, let's say the fifth and Paul is the winner.
