CLEVELAND, OHIO: Logan Paul seems to be using all means necessary to keep dazzling at the WWE. The social media star has gained notoriety in recent years as a high-flying wrestling daredevil with a handful of memorable WWE performances to his credit.
Paul added a new moment to his list on August 5 at SummerSlam, but this time it was for more sinister reasons as the YouTuber beat Ricochet in their planned match by using illegal items in the bout, as reported by MMA Fighting.
Logan Paul cheats to win
Prior to the finale, Paul and Ricochet put on a fantastic wrestling bout with a lot of daring moves that wowed both the audience and the internet. As noted by fans, Logan Paul seemed to have used brass knuckles during the match in order to win. A fan tweeted a video of where Jake Paul seemed to be putting on brass knuckles with the caption, "Well I'd win too if I had brass knuckles." While SummerSlam is now taking place at Ford Field in Detroit, Paul had a police escort transport him to a private jet right after the event so he could fly to Dallas in time to watch his brother Jake Paul battle Nate Diaz later in the evening.
Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz
Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul could go down in boxing history as one of the greatest fights ever. Whatever transpires, it will serve as proof of Paul's rise. Less than four years ago, he made his boxing debut against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib. In a 10-round fight at 185 pounds, Diaz, a veteran of the UFC, is making his pro boxing debut, and he is a clear favorite to win.
Ringside seats at the 20,000-seat American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks and Stars, are going up to $5,000 in what is expected to be a near-sellout event. The fight may earn more than $30 million, according to Paul's projection of 500,000 $59.99 pay-per-view purchases on DAZN. After his defeat by Fury, Paul learned a lot. Most notably, he recruited Shane Mosley as a replacement for BJ Flores as a trainer. When Mosley made his professional debut in 2019, Paul had already collaborated with the YouTube sensation.
He also hired Larry Wade, a seasoned boxing teacher who oversaw the strength and conditioning division. According to Paul, he is in the best physical shape of his fighting career. Wade and Flores, who helped Paul become a professional fighter and will be present for the fight in Dallas, don't seem to have any bad blood.
