Logan Paul says WWE fans will be forced to respect him after WWE Crown Jewel.
Paul made his in-ring debut at WWE WrestleMania 38, and he went on to compete in his first singles match at WWE SummerSlam 2022. Paul has been praised for his in-ring performances so far, and he will headline WWE Crown Jewel. There, in his third match, he will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
In an interview with Verge Magazine, Paul was asked what he intends to showcase at Crown Jewel, having already proven many of his doubters wrong in his previous two matches. The social media star made it clear that some people still might not like him, but they will be forced to respect him after he steps into the ring with Reigns.
"If the WWE fans don’t already respect me, after Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 5th, you will be forced to respect me. You might not like me. I might not be your favorite wrestler, but you will have to respect what I can do in that ring, and that’s my goal. I could give two ***** who likes me or not, but you will always acknowledge that when I get in that ring, you are going to be entertained. That’s my goal," Paul said.
Speaking of respect, Paul shared his thoughts on what being identified as a WWE Superstar means to him, and he stated that he feels validated having a title that garners respect. He noted that people tend to respect those who sacrifice their body in order to entertain the fans.
"It’s been an evolution of how people identify me when they see me in the streets, right? At first it was 'The Vine Guy', and then it became “I’ve seen your videos Guy”. Then it became 'The YouTube Guy'. Then it became 'Yo, Paul Something, right?' Then Logan Paul 'WWE Superstar'. After all these years, I feel like that title is the one with the most validity. Not that I need to be validated, but also it’s awesome that I’m validated with a title like that because immediately you get respect and at the end of the day, everyone just wants to be respected. I think it’s really hard to not respect someone who’s willing to get in that ring and sacrifice their body for the entertainment of millions of people. It’s incredible," he said.
In the same interview, Paul stated that he wants to compete in India And Australia. Check out his comments here.
