Logan Paul responds to Ronda Rousey's comments on the special treatment that she believes he gets from WWE.
Logan Paul and Ronda Rousey both came into WWE from other worlds and were utilized as special attractions. Ronda Rousey, who has been very outspoken regarding her time in WWE as of late, recently stated that she wishes she could have had the time to prepare and rehearse her matches in the same way that Logan Paul appears to get the chance to prepare.
Speaking on BS w/ Jake Paul, Logan explained that he doesn't believe the UFC Hall of Famer is a "hater," rather Logan just acknowledges that she's frustrated with how her time in WWE unfolded.
“I want to approach this from a real mature standpoint because I like Ronda Rousey. What she’s done in MMA is incredible. We watched her growing up, snapping arms. I have a lot of respect for Ronda Rousey. Every time I’ve met her, it was very amicable. So when she’s saying that, I don’t think it’s a personal attack on me by any means. I don’t feel she’s coming after me," Logan said. "I feel she’s maybe using me as an example to express her dissatisfaction with how she was treated in WWE, but I can’t speak on that because I don’t know how she was treated. I don’t think she’s a hater. I think she might be unhappy with how her run in the WWE went, but I don’t know anything really about that.
“All I know is how I work and the facilities and time that I’ve been given to make my matches as best as possible," he continued. "I think WWE recognizes that when I put on a good match, which will happen every single time I perform, the outcome and the reaction of the fans is immense. It fills the audience. I think I’ve proven my value, both in and out of the ring, on the mic, wrestling. The impressions that I’m delivering the company are second to none.”
Paul went on to say that the time he is getting to practice for matches is getting shorter and shorter, noting that it's only a few days at this point.
“It’s never more than, at this point, maybe four days. When I first started, for sure, they were holding my hand, bro. I didn’t go to the PC and do professional wrestling training like a lot of my peers. My only practice and time to learn how to be a professional wrestler was when we were building the match. Now, I’m working with guys who don’t always feel like spending that much time on it, and although it might be helpful for me, I want to be a good colleague," Paul added. "I wrestled a SmackDown once, it was my first television match, and I learned it in a week. We took a collective four hours to do it. I can do it, obviously, and I’m going to do it, but my ability to learn matches, put them together, understand them, and then execute them is getting better. So the time that I need is getting shorter. I think WWE recognizes that their investment in making sure I do have the time to put the best matches on is paying off.”
Logan Paul last wrestled at WWE WrestleMania XL, defeating Kevin Owens and Randy Orton to successfully retain the WWE United States Championship.
