Logan Paul’s SmackDown Stunt Was No Accident—Here’s Who Planned It

WWE SmackDown in Toronto was already packed with chaos leading into Elimination Chamber, but the real story is who was responsible for scripting one of the night’s biggest moments. While Drew McIntyre, John Cena, Logan Paul, Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, and CM Punk delivered a heated segment, the people working behind the scenes were just as important.

According to Fightful Select, Cristian Scovell was the writer behind the explosive promo that saw McIntyre take shots at Cena, calling him out for distancing himself from WWE and even mocking his hairline. Things spiraled as Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, and CM Punk joined in, creating a four-way war of words. But the segment’s most shocking moment—Logan Paul coming out to Cena’s music just to troll the entire arena—was all part of the plan.

While Scovell handled the writing, Michael Hayes produced the segment, ensuring the tension hit just the right level before Elimination Chamber. The timing was perfect—Logan Paul soaking in the chorus of boos before taunting the Toronto crowd and his fellow competitors, only to bolt when CM Punk came after him.

The reaction was immediate. Fans erupted over Paul’s stunt, while the back-and-forth between the Elimination Chamber competitors set the stage for one of the most unpredictable matches of the year.

With the Chamber match now hours away, the real question is whether the chaos in Toronto was just the beginning. Will Logan Paul back up his trash talk, or is someone going to shut him up? Drop your thoughts below!
