Logan Paul moved to 2-0 in his wrestling career at WWE SummerSlam when he defeated The Miz.
Paul was first successful at WWE WrestleMania 38 when he teamed with The Miz to defeat The Mysterios (Rey & Dominik Mysterio). After the bout, Miz turned on Paul, setting up their SummerSlam showdown.
Speaking on his ImPaulsive podcast, Paul looked back on SummerSlam and thanked The Miz.
“I gotta give a shout out to Mike The Miz, my opponent and at one point my mentor, who I did beat last night. I’m 2-0, I’m winning something. I’m winning a combat sport. He allows me to shine and he’s not afraid to and a lot of veterans, for the new guy, I can’t imagine that’s always easy. He understands what it takes to make the organization great. He’s a team player and I love Mike The Miz for that. Thank you," he said.
The highlight of the SummerSlam bout was Paul leaping from the top rope and performing a frog splash through the announce table on the outside.
Paul said about the spot, "When I was jumping off that pylon onto the table, I had one thought before I made the final leap. I’m looking around at this stadium and I’m like ‘This is it. This is a moment that can make or break a career like if that what he can do what he is capable of’. And I go ‘My life’s been going so good, I did great at WrestleMania, I’m gonna jump and break both of my femurs right now. This is the end of my career. Fuck it.’. Then I just fucking nailed it, I couldn’t believe it bro.”
On Monday's WWE Raw, Paul confirmed that he had signed a multi-year, multi-event deal with WWE. He said he enjoyed the electricity of the crowd and hopes to return soon. You can learn more by clicking here.
