Logan Paul and AEW's Big Boom AJ cross over at Illinois convention

WWE star Logan Paul and AEW personality Big Boom AJ were spotted together at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Rosemont, Illinois. The two influencers‑turned‑wrestlers engaged in a light‑hearted “Boom‑Off,” flexing their arms and shouting “Boom” for more than thirty seconds before AJ was declared the winner.

Both athletes rose to fame on social media before signing with rival promotions—Paul with WWE and AJ with AEW. Paul, still recovering from a torn triceps suffered in May while he was one half of the WWE World Tag Team Champions, continues to appear on WWE television, whereas AJ remains undefeated in AEW, most recently extending his streak at Double or Nothing 2026.
