A lot of people backstage who probably dislike him for a variety of reasons will be won over by that save.

how the f*** is Logan Paul one of the best in-ring workers in the company why is this dude just Will Ospreay Jr. it's like Carson Daly rocking up in the WWF in 2000 and putting on bangers with Benoit and Angle. I'm not convinced it's real Cursw you, now you’ve made me kind of want to see and Ospreay vs. Logan Paul match.

Let’s be honest, Theory and Rey weren’t doing anything to make that belt feel important. This is where I'm at with it. Rey having the title wasn't doing anything for it (I forgot about Theory til you mentioned him that's how blah he was/is). Logan having the title makes it interesting. Dude is ridiculously athletic for being a random social media guy. If he wasn't so despised he'd be praised as the next Kurt Angle with how quickly he's taken to it. Maybe even moreso as Angle at least had a wrestling background. Logan's just a 'regular guy' that's famous and stupidly gifted athletically.

Dude deserves it based on those neck saving instincts alone. My goodness, think of him what you want, that reaction to save Rey was insane.
Assuredly won over the boys in the back right there too.

Also Paul can give the belt more media attention if he brings it along to the other projects he has where everyone can see it.

The reaction to save Rey deserves some major props I still can't stand this dude and think he's been involved in a lot of shady shit that he constantly skirts by any consequences for, and really am not sold on him for those reasons Good wrestler, took to this shit like a fish to water. I see WHY they did it, but there's a mountain to get past with this guy being a giant dumbass irl and I don't know if I ever personally will. Ironically, because of that, it's no wonder he fits right in with wrestling

He’s not one of my favorites, but as is the case with many of my favorites, I know he’s a scumbag, but my god, does he ever make you forget it with both his character and ring work.
But then again, I can completely separate the on-screen persona from the person with everyone but Snuka and Benoit.

There's no way hitching their wagon to an unrepentant internet scumbag can blow up in their face. No chance of him saying something unforgivably idiotic or facing prosecution for his crypto scams at a time chickens are coming home to roost for people in that space, none at all.
Him being good at wrestling doesn't make this a good idea, and it's not enough to forgive his other sins.

Just watched the whole match and f***ing Michael Cole literally struggles to not break character and praise Logan for saving Rey. You can hear him catching himself. Totally caught that hahaha. I was laughing at the end w/ Logan saying “i love u little buddy” and rey being like “u know what you did! (Brass knuckles) and me being like “save u from a wheelchair?!?” how the f*** is Logan Paul one of the best in-ring workers in the company why is this dude just Will Ospreay Jr. it's like Carson Daly rocking up in the WWF in 2000 and putting on bangers with Benoit and Angle. I'm not convinced it's real Cursw you, now you’ve made me kind of want to see and Ospreay vs. Logan Paul match. Meltzer after that match

Knight is just that hot right now

FWIW, regarding the Rey catch, Stevie Richards made a video on this and while praising the hell out of LP for the catch and teh willingness to risk injury to do so, he did mention that the reason he had to do it was because he was too far back in the ring.
Now, he chalked that up to inexperience, and he emphasized many times that the catch far outways the bad positioning.

That ice pop flavor of the Prime energy drink is ridiculously tasty. Meta Moon in the hydration version is good too.

It's barely over two months later, the Rumble will probably be his first title defense, second at most, you'd need to find something for both of them to be doing at Mania anyway, potentially it frees them up to add more star power to the Rumble match... The only real harm in waiting is if everything goes sideways for Logan Paul and even then you could just get the belt off him and pivot to Knight beating Waller or something.

"I mean, sure he defrauded lots of people with his crypto scam and has never showed any remorse for it nor made any attempt to give people their money back. And sure, he filmed a dead person who took their own life. But have you seen how good he is in the ring??!! Sure he rehearses his matches move for move for weeks on end at the PC. But that TOTALLY makes up for the fact he's a scumbag and one step away from being an outright criminal!!!"
Between this and Ric Flair, it has been a banner week for rewarding scumbags.
