Last-Minute Changes and Ricochet Feud Alter Logan Paul’s Path in WWE
Logan Paul’s entry into the world of WWE has been nothing short of surprising, as his remarkable athletic abilities quickly made him a topic of conversation within the company. Engaging in matches against the likes of Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, Paul’s stock skyrocketed, earning him the respect of both fans and fellow wrestlers. With WWE laying out significant plans for him, a last-minute change to Paul’s storyline occurred due to an unfortunate viral mishap.
The Maverick showcased his mettle in the Money in the Bank ladder match, proving why he deserves a place in the esteemed ranks of Vince McMahon’s company. Undertaking daring maneuvers, including a splash onto Damian Priest, Paul left no doubt about his commitment. However, despite his best efforts, victory eluded him on that night.
During the Royal Rumble, Paul and Ricochet collided midair, creating a captivating moment that was intended to go viral. Unfortunately, the moment turned into a major botch, narrowly avoiding catastrophe. WWE’s attempt to generate buzz with the spot succeeded, but not in the intended manner.
Recently, a short video aired on Raw depicting a backstage brawl between Paul and Ricochet, allegedly taking place in London following the Money in the Bank ladder match. This heated encounter led to Ricochet challenging Logan Paul to a match on the upcoming episode of Raw.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE opted to film the backstage brawl angle as a result of the botched Spanish Fly spot. Originally intended as a viral moment that would lead to the match, the execution did not go as planned. To compensate, WWE decided to shoot the angle on the next Raw, paving the way for the showdown.
Rather than showcasing Logan Paul in a “marquee” match, it seems that WWE aims to highlight his incredible athleticism in a contest with Ricochet, who is known for his awe-inspiring in-ring abilities.
As the feud between Logan Paul and Ricochet gradually builds, dating back to their encounter at the Royal Rumble in January, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits the next chapter. The stage is set for an exciting clash, and fans can only speculate on what the future holds for these two formidable competitors.
