Logan Paul finally wins over WWE fans with hilarious viral TikTok reference WWELogan Paul surprised WWE fans with an unexpected appearance on Friday Night SmackDown, and his hilarious reference to a viral TikTok video convinced fans he\u2019s the perfect heel. Despite showing the world he\u2019s a formidable boxer against Floyd Mayweather, Logan Paul has been making ground as the next big thing in WWE \u2013 which is closer to his roots as an amateur wrestler back in high school. He debuted on Friday Night SmackDown and followed it up with appearances at WrestleMania, Monday Night Raw, and SummerSlam. And he surprised fans with an unexpected fifth appearance on Friday Night SmackDown on September 3. The hostile crowd greeted him with a chorus of boos, which is no surprise since he\u2019s playing a heel. However, the way he handled himself, along with his reference to a hilarious TikTok video, convinced fans that he\u2019s perfect for the role. Logan interrupted a confrontation between Baron Corbin and Kevin Owens, shaking hands with the former and taking his side. Corbin explained that they\u2019re on good terms now despite Paul insulting him at SummerSlam. Owens has been on bad terms with Paul after giving him Stone Cold Stunner at WrestleMania. And he added more salt in his wounds, describing him as \u201cone of the most self-centered, egotistical, delusional useless pieces of trash ever to step foot in a WWE ring.\u201d However, just when they were about to square off and trade blows, Corbin struck Owens with a cheap shot and choke slammed him into the canvas. Paul picked up the microphone and said, \u201cYou\u2019re not that guy, pal! You\u2019re not that guy!\u201d \u2013 a reference to the viral TikTok video of a man aggressively yelling at a teenager over them wearing a face mask in a grocery store. WWE fans praised Paul for his performance, claiming he\u2019s \u201centertaining\u201d and an \u201camazing heel\u201d regardless of how they feel about him outside of the ring. Based on that reaction and the fact he\u2019s been making more and more appearances lately, it looks like he could be transitioning from a boxer to a full-fledged WWE superstar. However, nothing has been made official yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
