WWE have hit a good vein of celebrities who are actually putting in a bit of work and not just cashing in a paycheck. Bad Bunny, Pat McAfee, Logan Paul, Johnny Knoxville… Who would’ve been the last dud, Tyson Fury? Yeah I think Firy and thats more because he had a fight coming up and they didn't want him getting hurt if anything |

Logan Paul not only didn't embarrass himself, he actually looked really good in that match and the match was pretty good.

Tell ya, man, after YEARS of just praying celebrities don’t embarrass themselves or the business, Bad Bunny and Logan Paul have raised the bar. Paul may be absolute shit as a person but WWE has dealt with shit people forever as long as they could work. I’m personally impressed enough to quote Maverick from Top Gun to both Paul and Bunny if they suggest coming back: “Bullshit. You can be my wingman anytime.”

In another life instead of being a problematic Youtuber, Logan Paul is a problematic pro wrestler.

Miz got a nice pop when he turned against Logan.
Jake Paul was annoying during the preshow.

Logan was the 2nd best worker in the match.

This can’t be the last time we see Logan Paul. He’s definitely caught the bug and will wanna do it again. He’s so f***ing good at it. No joke, if he would want to do it as a career, he would be the biggest heel in the company. The heat he got and the look at the crowd after doing the three amigos and then the frog splash? That was the best heel thing in a very long time. The fact that he did the ugliest looking Eddie shimmy you've ever seen in your life before the frog splash was PERFECT. Actual worm shimmy. |

That was the best heel thing in a very long time. he looked like such a scumbag doing the mock Eddie shimmy. It was honestly my favourite spot of the entire night. Especially after they'd cut off Rey's attempted tribute first, then like a total slime bag heel does his own with a big punchable grin. |

He definitely made people want to smash that Pokemon card he wore down the ramp.

I don't like the guy and think he's a very cynical person, but he definitely didn't sleep walk through this, that was good stuff. Also, his gear looked genuinely pretty awesome. Bro look at this shit:  Man looks like Bumblebee decided to transform into a douche bag |

What separated Logan from a lot of talent I see regularly competing wasn't the moves or the foot work. It was how he paused at the right moments. His facial expressions. Being a great worker involves so much more than executing a headlock or a dive. It's manipulating the emotion of the audience and often it's folks from the outside who pick that up quickly. I don't know how much that can be taught but it's often the biggest gap I see between high level talent and average talent. So many wrestlers go through the motions every night and I don't blame them. But there's a lot you can add that elevates the overall performance.

He knew how to work the crowd and really push hard that heel heat.
If he wants it, and he's said in some interviews he's thinking about it, he could do this full time for a bit.
It wouldnt really interrupt his Youtube stuff, as he's done all the boxing stuff alongside it before.
I expect us to get a Paul/Miz at Wrestlemania Backlash at the least.

The Miz turned face because the fans don't like Logan Paul lol
The match quality wasn't great. Logan Paul and Dominik Mysterio aren't stellar in the ring, but they had Rey Mysterio and Miz to work with. Majority of the interactions were not Dominik and Logan Paul, it was some variation of Miz/Rey.
If Logan Paul committed to being a WWE superstar, I wouldn't mind it... but if he doesn't, this should really be a one-and-done situation.

Has anyone said yet that he does the Three Amigos better than anyone not named Eddie Guerrero? Cause he does.

Miz turning on Paul after the match was f***ing hilarious. Probably the best thing Miz has done, for me, since that one promo he cut on Shane.

I expect us to get a Paul/Miz at Wrestlemania Backlash at the least. I really don't want that, because it's a no-win situation, booking-wise. If they push Paul as a babyface the fans aren't going to cheer for him over Miz, and turning Miz face neuters him completely. I get the logic of having Miz turn on him. This is a guy who got Alex Riley ridiculously over as a babyface and was a key part of Damien Sandow becoming one of the most over guys on the roster, but people genuinely hate the Paul brothers, and I don't think anybody could possibly Logan over as a babyface. |

He did well. They really should find a reason for Dominic to wear a mask, that was my main takeaway.
As I can’t stand any of the 4 in the ring, I just passively watched. Match looked very, very rehearsed, but that’s necessary for a celebrity match. As others have point out, his heel work was amazing. Probably because he actually is one.
