Logan Paul made his WWE return this past weekend at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event in San Antonio. This was Paul’s first Royal Rumble match, and he entered the 30-Man over-the-top-rope-extravaganza as the 29th participant. The YouTube star scored a single elimination, and his victim was none other than Seth Rollins.
The WWE Universe was shocked to see Logan Paul back in the ring just three months after suffering multiple serious knee injuries in his WWE Universal Title match with Roman Reigns at the 2022 Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.
Seth Rollins, who spent 37 minutes in the ring before getting eliminated by Logan Paul, addressed the matter on Instagram Live. It seems The Visionary isn’t really a fan of The Maverick.
“Alright, look. I was going to avoid this topic, but since I’ve seen a few of you guys asking so far about Logan Paul, I don’t know. I don’t know about Logan Paul. All I know is that I don’t really like Logan Paul. I’ll just say it. A lot of us don’t really like Logan Paul. We don’t. I don’t like Logan Paul, I don’t really need him in my locker room, in my space.”
Logan Paul was later eliminated by Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare ultimately defeated GUNTHER to win the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble match.
“Great, the guy is ultra talented as far as athletic ability is concerned. He snuck up on me at the Rumble and dumped me, fine. Whatever. I took my eyes off the ball, that one’s on me, but don’t go bragging about it like you did something otherworldly. It’s probably the coolest thing Logan’s ever gonna do in his life. I just advise him to stay in his lane. He’s had what, three or four matches? Again, athletic freak, no doubt about it. But, at the end of the day, he’s just not a wrestler. He doesn’t want to be a wrestler. He just wants to be famous, he doesn’t care about the industry. He’s not a wrestler. It’s best for him to just stay in his lane, whatever his lane is, I don’t know, buying counterfeit Pokémon cards. If that’s your lane, stay in that lane. Don’t come knocking on my door cause I’ll knock you out. You don’t have your brother for backup because he’s about to get cooked by this dude coming up in a couple weeks. He’s not gonna be around.”
Seth Rollins didn’t hesitate to tease a match with Logan Paul down the line. As a matter of fact, the Royal Rumble spot could be the foundation of their exciting rivalry.
“At some point, we’re gonna have to come face to face and i just really don’t think he wants none as they say I guess. That’s all I’m gonna say about LP, as they call him. Come in, do your thing, get your little claps and that. Have everybody hold your hand, great. But don’t be bragging about throwing me out of the Rumble. That’s just kinda… calling me a clown, look at this guy. That’s all.”
Rollins is currently set to compete in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match for the United States Championship at the premium live event on February 18th. It’s unknown when Logan Paul will compete in a WWE ring again, but it’s possible for him to return as a participant in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 39.
