During an Instagram Live session on Thursday, WWE superstar Charlotte Flair shared insights into her intense training regimen while engaging with fans. When asked who she sees as the “next big thing” in WWE’s women’s division, Flair immediately singled out NXT standout Roxanne Perez.

“I was extremely, extremely impressed by Roxanne in the Royal Rumble. I think she killed it. So, my vote is Roxanne, she has a really bright future,” Flair said. (H/T Landon Buford)

Perez, a former NXT Women’s Champion and ROH Women’s Champion, showcased her speed, agility, and technical skills during the Royal Rumble, standing out against top-tier competitors. At just 22, she is already considered one of the most promising young talents in WWE.

After losing her NXT Women’s Championship to Giulia at New Year’s Evil on January 7, “The Prodigy” competed in her final major NXT event at Vengeance Day on February 15. She has now successfully transitioned to the main roster and will be competing in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match alongside Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, Naomi, Bayley, and Bianca Belair.

Flair’s endorsement carries weight, given her decade-long dominance in women’s wrestling. As Perez continues to impress, fans will be watching closely to see if she can meet the high expectations set by one of WWE’s greatest champions.

Kofi Kingston isn’t holding back. The former WWE Champion took to social media in a fiery video, ripping into WWE fans who questioned his claim that he has been with the company longer than Rey Mysterio. In an unapologetic and blunt rant, Kingston called out “keyboard commandos” and “smart fans” for relying on Wikipedia and Google instead of doing “real” research.

Kingston doubled down on his statement, breaking down the numbers to prove his point. While Mysterio debuted with WWE in 2002, he took a hiatus from 2014 to 2018. Kingston, on the other hand, signed with WWE in 2006 and has remained an active competitor ever since. To further back himself up, Kingston revealed match statistics:

“As of today, February 19, 2025, Rey Mysterio has had 682 televised matches with WWE. You know how many I’ve had? 886. I have spent more time in a WWE ring than Rey Mysterio, which means that I have been here longer than Rey Mysterio—like I said.”

But it wasn’t just the numbers that caught attention—it was Kingston’s attitude. His tone throughout the video was confrontational, and he ended it by directly insulting the WWE Universe:

“Do you feel as dumb as we think you are? … It’s a rhetorical question. The only answer is yes. Y’all dumb, man.”

Reactions to the video are split, with some fans cheering on Kingston’s darker attitude, while others miss the feel-good New Day we’ve grown to love after all these years. We’re hoping someone can talk some sense into Kingston and Woods one of these days.

Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace made a notable choice during their Wednesday night performance in Calgary, Alberta, as part of their 30th Anniversary Tour, performing their song “Whatever” – a track that has largely remained absent from their setlists for over 15 years due to its complicated history.

The song, which gained prominence in professional wrestling circles, served as WWE Superstar Chris Benoit’s entrance music from 2002 until 2007. While “Whatever” was initially released on the WWE compilation album “WWF Forceable Entry,” Our Lady Peace also included a live version on their 2003 album “Live.”

Following Benoit’s shocking murder-suicide in June 2007, which claimed the lives of his wife Nancy and young son Daniel, the band’s relationship with the song changed dramatically.

In 2012, Our Lady Peace made the definitive decision to remove the song from their catalog and announced they would never perform it again, citing the negative emotional impact and tragic associations the song had come to carry.

Lead singer Raine Maida has recently spoken about the band’s desire to “reclaim” the song from its dark associations, marking a significant reversal from their 2012 position.

The decision to perform “Whatever” in Calgary represents a momentous step in separating the track from its troubled history and returning it to its original artistic context.

The song, which originally appeared on Our Lady Peace’s 1997 album “Clumsy,” stands as one of the band’s more aggressive rock compositions, with themes of perseverance and determination – themes that now carry a markedly different weight given its historical context.

Our Lady Peace’s performance in Calgary marks a turning point in the song’s legacy, as the band works to preserve their artistic creation while acknowledging its complex past.

The performance demonstrates the challenges artists face when their work becomes inexorably tied to tragic events, and their efforts to move forward while remaining sensitive to the gravity of such associations.

After a decade with WWE, Sonya Deville (real name Daria Rae) was blindsided by the company’s decision not to renew her contract. Speaking candidly for the first time on her YouTube channel, Deville detailed the emotional rollercoaster of receiving the news and why she ultimately sees it as a blessing in disguise.

Deville revealed that she was in the middle of contract negotiations with WWE when she received the unexpected phone call.

“I was in Washington, D.C., for a cheer tournament with our little one, running on the treadmill, when I got the call,” she shared. “We were in the middle of negotiations, so I thought it was going to be the middle ground we met on. Instead, they said, ‘We are not renewing your contract.’”

The news came as a complete shock to Deville, who had spent ten years building her career within the company. She had developed strong relationships backstage and was deeply invested in her role.

“I had a great relationship with almost everybody—from backstage to talent. It felt like family,” she explained. “You work somewhere for 10 years, you don’t expect that kind of call.”

“I Have No Choice But to Listen to the Universe”

Despite the initial shock, Deville quickly found peace with the decision. She believes fate had a bigger plan for her—one that aligns with her lifelong dream of acting.

“You can’t fight fate,” she said. “That chapter was meant to close, and all these new beautiful blessings were meant to come. The irony of it all is that the same week they didn’t renew my contract, I booked my first big film project.”

Deville admitted that while wrestling became an unexpected passion, acting had always been her first love.

“The way people turn to music for comfort is how I turned to television and film. Acting was my dream since I was 12,” she shared. “I fell in love with wrestling along the way, but this is what I always wanted.”

No Bitterness, Only Gratitude

Unlike some former WWE stars who leave the company with resentment, Deville holds no ill will. She remains grateful for the opportunities WWE gave her and sees her release as a new beginning.

“I see people leave and talk bad about the company, but I cannot relate,” she stated. “I loved every minute of it. I loved everybody there. I loved everything I got to do. But that was a chapter, and now it’s time for the next.”

With a major acting role already lined up and a positive mindset about the future, Deville is ready to embrace what comes next.

“I have no choice but to listen to the universe. That was good, but here’s what’s next,” she said. “And I’m excited.”

Liv Morgan’s return to WWE wasn’t just about getting back in the ring—it was personal. After being sidelined for six months due to an injury inflicted by Rhea Ripley, Morgan came back with a mission: to take everything from the woman who took everything from her.

“I was going to take away everything she loved because she took everything that I ever loved,” Morgan said on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast.

That mission led to the creation of the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour, a ruthless campaign that has seen Morgan align with The Judgment Day and even stake a claim to Dominik Mysterio.

Morgan’s transformation from fan-favorite underdog to a cunning, dominant force has been one of WWE’s most surprising turns in recent years. While her methods have drawn boos from some fans, she remains unapologetic.

“I felt so justified in every single fiber of my being. I knew that I was right and that I was in the right.”

Her comeback was fueled by months of frustration and reflection.

“All I ever loved was WWE, and she took six months from me—not knowing if I’d make a full recovery, if I’d come back the same, or if my career was even over.”

That realization only strengthened her resolve to dismantle Ripley’s world piece by piece. Now, with WWE Elimination Chamber on the horizon, Morgan’s focus remains locked on championship gold. As the last person to defeat Ripley, she may be the biggest threat to the Women’s World Champion yet.

Liv Morgan Mocks “Obsessed” Rhea Ripley After Controversial Raw Win

Liv Morgan has already conquered the WWE ring, and now making waves in Hollywood.

Despite signing a 5-year WWE contract extension in late 2024, she’s preparing for the next chapter of her career. Morgan is signed to Paradigm Sports Group and says she’s “auditioning regularly” for projects outside of professional wrestling.

During a recent appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, the multi-time Women’s world champion explained how her years in WWE have made her early transition to acting surprisingly smooth.

“When I got on set, it felt like I was doing a WWE backstage,” Morgan shared. “It dawned on me how much practice we get in WWE.”

Morgan, who played herself in Chucky and met Uma Thurman while filming The Kill Room, credits WWE for preparing her for the acting world.

“We only get one take in WWE, so we have to be on point,” she explained.

For now, Morgan’s sights are set on capturing more WWE gold. This coming Monday on Raw, she and Raquel Rodriguez will challenge Bianca Belair and Naomi in hopes of recapturing the WWE Women’s tag team championship.

She’s also earned a spot in the upcoming Women’s Elimination Chamber match, which could send her to the main event of WrestleMania in a match against longtime rival Rhea Ripley.

For years, Brian James believed he and CM Punk had a deep-seated rivalry—until Punk’s recent WWE return changed everything. Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, James revealed the unexpected moment that made him realize the supposed feud was all in his head.

“For 10 years, I thought we hated each other. Turns out, he hadn’t thought a damn thing about me!” James laughed.

The tension stemmed from James’ perception of past backstage clashes, particularly during Punk’s early WWE run. However, when the two reunited, Punk greeted him with a hug, immediately breaking the ice.

James admitted that the moment taught him a valuable lesson about letting go of grudges and overthinking past conflicts. He even praised Punk’s new attitude, saying,

“He’s a different dude today. I told him, ‘Hey man, I really appreciate your attitude,’ and he said, ‘That’s the first time anybody’s ever said that to me.’”

The revelation highlights how wrestling’s backstage politics can sometimes be more about perception than reality. Now, James sees Punk as a valuable part of WWE’s locker room, proving that time can change even the most stubborn perspectives.

These remarks from Road Dogg echo what we’ve heard about CM Punk from several people who have worked closely with him, most recently The Undertaker:

WWE Hall of Famer Brian James is opening up about his backstage role with WWE. Admit reports that he just returned to SmackDown as a co-lead writer along with John Swikata, the former DX member addressed his job during a recent conversation on Insight with Chris Van Vliet.

“Honestly, dude, I’m a creative consultant, and that goes across the board when it comes to wrestling.

I don’t think I could be a creative consultant for IBM, but I can do it for WWE,” he joked.

James was previously SmackDown’s head writer, overseeing some of the brand’s most memorable moments. While WWE has scaled back its domestic live events, he remains in charge of creative direction for house shows and continues to work closely with Triple H and WWE’s writing team. He reportedly just

One of his favorite aspects of the job is crafting superstar entrances, working with production to make each performer stand out.

“Me and Hunter love to create together. We look at new talent and say, ‘What can we do with that entrance? What lights? What smoke?’”

James also praised WWE’s new era of creative freedom, describing it as a major improvement over past regimes.

“The old regime sometimes stifled creativity. Now, nobody gets shut down—it’s a free-flowing environment.”

With WWE continuing to evolve, James remains a key figure in shaping its future, proving that his contributions extend far beyond his in-ring career.

Brian James, better known as Road Dogg, has opened up about his battle with addiction and how sobriety saved his life. Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the WWE Hall of Famer reflected on his darkest moments and the journey that led him to recovery.

“I was on a vicious cycle—wake up and do drugs, wake up and do drugs. I didn’t want to live like that anymore,” James admitted. “I wanted to die, but I was scared my kids would find me that way. Sobriety saved my life.”

James has now been sober for 15 years, but getting to this point wasn’t easy. He revealed that at one stage, he contemplated taking his own life, feeling trapped in a cycle he couldn’t escape. His turning point came when his brother confronted him after a show, leading James to seek help through WWE’s rehab program.

Looking back, James recognizes how much time he wasted on self-destructive habits.

“One of my biggest fears today is not being self-aware. I wasted so much time trying to die, and now I just want to live.”

Today, James is a key figure behind the scenes in WWE, helping shape the next generation of talent. His story serves as an inspiring reminder that change is possible, even in the darkest moments.

In a surprising revelation, former WWE SmackDown head writer Brian James admitted that he initially pushed for Big E to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 instead of Kofi Kingston. Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, James reflected on the decision and why he’s glad he was proven wrong.

“I was wrong. I didn’t realize how deep Kofi’s connection was with the fans. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong,” James confessed.

At the time, James believed Big E was the best choice to be WWE’s next major star. However, a member of his writing team convinced him otherwise, pointing out the emotional investment fans had in Kingston’s journey. The moment culminated in one of the most celebrated victories in WWE history, with Kingston defeating Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship.

While James initially questioned the decision, he now recognizes that it was the right move.

“Kofi won the title at WrestleMania, and nobody can ever take that away.”

Big E would go on to have his own championship moment years later, proving that both men were destined for greatness.

Brian James has seen WWE’s creative process from all angles, and under Triple H’s leadership, he says it has reached new heights. Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, James compared the current WWE regime to the past and praised Triple H’s vision for the future.

“The New regime is like Google—we’ve got ping pong tables in the production meeting room! Creativity flows, and no one gets shut down,” James joked, highlighting the new environment.

James noted that under previous leadership, creative ideas were often stifled, making it harder to innovate. However, Triple H has created an atmosphere where all ideas are considered, leading to a more engaging product for fans.

Beyond creative freedom, James credited Triple H’s ability to think both short-term and long-term.

“He has such a vision—right now and five years from now at the same time. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

With WWE’s storytelling at an all-time high and its production value continually evolving, James believes the company is in the best hands possible.

“He’s taken this industry into a stratosphere that wasn’t even thought about.”

Is Liv Morgan responsible for the vicious attack that put Jade Cargill out of action for months? If you ask her directly, you won’t get a clear answer.

“In the history of Liv Morgan, there’s not been one time when I didn’t scream and brag about whatever I had just done,” Morgan teased on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast.

She backed up her position by asking, how much has she bragged about stealing Daddy Dom and retiring Becky Lynch? A lot.

Her response has only fueled speculation. While WWE cameras didn’t catch the culprit, Cargill was blindsided, leading to a brutal beatdown of Morgan on Raw.

 “I think that that beat down was highly, highly unwarranted, but I was there she was there and that’s all you get.”

If Morgan wasn’t responsible, she certainly paid the price for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The potential rivalry between the two could set up a major WrestleMania showdown. Morgan has already shown she isn’t afraid to take what she wants—could Cargill be her next target?

Morgan and Rodriguez challenge Belair and Naomi for the WWE Women’s tag team championship this coming Monday on Raw.

TNA Wrestling World Champion Joe Hendry has made progress in his fight against unauthorized merchandise, revealing that TeePublic has removed nearly 90 counterfeit designs using his likeness.

In an update on X, Hendry shared that the platform acknowledged the infringement, removed 89 designs, and initiated discussions to better protect his intellectual property moving forward. “I will update on discussions,” Hendry added, thanking fans for their support and promising new official merch options soon.

This follows Hendry’s previous warning to TeePublic, where he threatened legal action if they did not remove bootleg designs from their site. His firm stance underscores a broader issue in pro wrestling, where independent and signed wrestlers alike rely on merch sales as a key income source.

Hendry’s success in getting TeePublic to act could set a precedent for other wrestlers facing similar challenges. While some bootleg designs remain, Hendry’s efforts signal a step toward greater protection of wrestlers’ intellectual property in the digital age. Fans can expect further updates as Hendry continues to push for change.

NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd returns to All Elite Wrestling this Saturday on AEW Collision.

His first appearance in in June 2024 was as a spectator on the June 26, 2024 episode of Dynamite, followed by a match on Rampage where he teamed with Roderick Strong to defeat The Infantry.

Gabe Kidd was most recently seen in action at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, 2025, where he lost to Kenny Omega. He also recently re-signed with NJPW in March 2024, making him primarily contracted to the Japanese promotion.

The upcoming episode of AEW Collision already has announced matches including:

• Daniel Garcia defending the TNT Championship Mark Briscoe
• Private Party vs. Lio Rush and Action Andretti

Bryan Danielson, former AEW World Champion, is backstage at tonight’s Dynamite event in Phoenix, Arizona, according to PWInsider.

Danielson was last seen on AEW television during the October 8, 2024 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he teamed with Wheeler Yuta against Claudio Castagnoli and Pac.

His final match as a full-time competitor took place four days later at the WrestleDream pay-per-view on October 12, 2024, where he lost the AEW World Championship to Jon Moxley.

While Danielson hasn’t appeared on AEW television since then, he did make an appearance at the All In: Texas ticket on-sale rally on December 9, 2024.

Regarding his in-ring future, the “American Dragon” has said there’s a 50/50 chance he’ll wrestle again.

Penta recently appeared on Celtic Warrior Workouts with Sheamus, where he disclosed that he has been wrestling with a “broken bicep” for the past three years.

During a workout session featuring bicep curls, Sheamus asked if the injury was a tear, to which Penta confirmed, “Yeah,” adding that it remains torn.

He revealed that the injury occurred when another wrestler kicked him, breaking his bicep. Despite never undergoing surgery, Penta stated he is still able to train and compete.

Despite the injury, Penta has remained active in the ring and recently competed on WWE Raw against Pete Dunne. Notably, he remains undefeated in singles competition within WWE.

Check out Penta’s “arm blast” workout with Sheamus for a unique look at the dangerous luchador outside the ring:

WWE Superstar Seth Rollins hasn’t grown tired talking trash about his old pal, CM Punk. During an appearance on Not Just Football with Cam Heyward, Rollins took a sharp jab at his longtime rival, casting doubt on whether Punk can stay healthy enough to make it to WrestleMania 41.

“CM Punk’s gotta make it to WrestleMania this year. Last year, he didn’t. Last year, he didn’t make it to WrestleMania. Fragile Phil got hurt.”

The animosity between Rollins and Punk has been brewing for years, with Rollins previously calling Punk a “cancer” to the locker room.

With rumors swirling about a potential Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 41 featuring Rollins, Punk, and Roman Reigns, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion made it clear who the real workhorse is.

“I am healthy and prime. I am there every single week. I’m the only 100% guarantee of the three of us for WrestleMania.”

With Punk sidelined since January due to a torn triceps, his WrestleMania status remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Rollins is gearing up for Elimination Chamber, a match he admits is brutal but one he’s prepared to endure.

Whether or not Punk makes it to the grandest stage of them all, Rollins has already set the tone—there’s no love lost between these two, and if they do meet at WrestleMania, it’s going to get personal.

Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk

Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk was arguably one of WWE’s hottest feuds of 2024, but due to injuries, the two didn’t get a chance to settle their score in the ring until January 6, 2025 on the WWE Raw Netflix premiere.

The long-awaited showdown, emanating from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, lived up to its immense hype, featuring a brutal display of one-upmanship as both superstars appropriated each other’s finishing moves – Rollins attempting Punk’s GTS while Punk mockingly delivered Rollins’ signature Stomp.

After the action spilled into the crowd and saw Rollins execute two devastating Pedigrees, including one through the announce table, it was ultimately CM Punk who emerged victorious, sealing his first Raw victory in over 4,000 days with back-to-back GTS finishers.

The bout marked only their second-ever singles encounter, with their previous match taking place over a decade earlier in December 2013, making this high-stakes Netflix premiere even more historic.

Samantha Irvin’s journey has taken her from the high-energy world of wrestling to the creative freedom of music, but her connection to wrestling remains profoundly emotional and genuine.

In recent appearances on Busted Open, she opened up about both her love for the business and a particularly moving moment at WrestleMania 41. Reflecting on her time as a WWE ring announcer, she shared:

“You would have to be dead inside to hear [The Rock’s music] sitting in my chair with my background and my past and not be excited.”

During another recent appearance on Busted Open, Irvin revealed a deeply personal moment from WrestleMania 41, where she announced Cody Rhodes’ capture the Undisputed WWE Championship. “I was not there for work. I was literally there, like, just as me, just Sammie,” she explained.

“I started crying before the finish. I started crying when The Undertaker came out. And then Cody winning… it all just came crashing down. Every sad thing, every crazy thing, all the stuff in wrestling that you can’t talk about. It just all came out in that moment.”

As someone who has lived and breathed wrestling, Samantha continues to maintain her connection to the industry while pursuing her other passions. Her genuine emotional investment in the business shows through in every appearance, demonstrating that her bond with wrestling extends far beyond her professional role.

Samantha is looking beyond her announcing career and setting her sights on a potential future in wrestling’s creative side, where she hopes to contribute as a writer or booker. During a recent appearance on Busted Open, she reflected on her journey in professional wrestling and hinted at what could come next.

“I would have loved to try every single thing… but really, I would like to write… Paul Heyman is absolutely a big inspiration to me.”

Heyman, a legendary figure in wrestling known for his innovative storytelling, has played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of countless superstars. Samantha, inspired by his creativity, hopes to one day contribute to the industry in a similar way.

A New Era for Women in Wrestling

Samantha’s ambitions come at a time when women are increasingly taking on leadership and creative positions in wrestling. As more female voices emerge in the world of booking and storytelling, the industry is evolving beyond traditional gender roles.

Her ability to bring a fresh perspective and deep understanding of wrestling could make her a valuable asset behind the scenes. While music is her primary focus now, her love for the business suggests that a return to wrestling—this time as a creative force—may not be far off.

Chelsea Green, WWE Women’s United States Champion, recently ranked WWE’s most “Diva-coded” male superstars, evaluating who best embodies Diva qualities like confidence, style, and presence.

In an interview with Ring the Belle host DS, she judged fan-submitted nominees, narrowing the field down to top contenders like Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, and Pretty Deadly.

Rollins was an early favorite, with Green noting,

“Because of longevity, we’re going with Seth, because we have seen it time and time again, and he slays—serves Diva drag.”

However, in the final round, she ultimately chose Pretty Deadly as WWE’s most Diva-coded male stars.

“To put a swerve on it, I’m going to say Pretty Deadly wins. They’re giving Diva in other aspects, not just their gear.”

Green further praised the duo, adding,

“I actually use their gear girl now because their gear is so good. So Diva, so girly pop!”

She stood by her decision, stating,

“If you had asked me that question without showing me the bracket, I still would have said Pretty Deadly.”

At the conclusion of the segment, Green also addressed her fans and her role as the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion, saying, “Pledge your allegiance, honey, because it’s up from here!”

Check out Chelsea Green’s appearance on Ring the Belle:

Jacob Fatu has been a dominant force since his WWE debut last year, and a reliable WWE insider says the company is discussing a prominent match for the “Samoan Warewolf” at WrestleMania.

According to WrestleVotes on Backstage Pass, WWE has had serious discussions about a high-stakes clash between Jacob Fatu and his cousin, Solo Sikoa, at WrestleMania 41.

Initially, there was speculation that Solo Sikoa might face Roman Reigns, but it now appears the focus has shifted toward a family rivalry between Solo and Fatu.

“I do know they’re gearing up towards Jacob versus Solo. fter months of speculation that Solo was going to wrestle Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, they shift that to Jacob Fatu, and we’ll see how it plays out. But I do believe that’s the direction,” WrestleVotes reported.

This development follows Fatu’s failure to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match on SmackDown, despite interference from Sikoa. The two also had a tense backstage confrontation, signaling growing tensions within The Bloodline.

While Fatu has long been loyal to Sikoa as part of the revamped Bloodline faction, their dynamic is changing. Fans have noticed the shift, and WWE appears to be leaning into this evolving storyline.

Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest WWE news on Road to WrestleMania 41, set for April 19-20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Logan Paul may be one of the most hated WWE Superstars, but he doesn’t see it that way. On Impaulsive, the United States Champion insisted that fans actually love him—despite the chorus of boos he receives at every event.

“I feel loved and revered,” Logan said confidently.

WWE commentator Michael Cole immediately shot that down.

“Yeah… no.”

The exchange continued as Logan defended his connection with the WWE Universe, even citing his mom’s opinion. “My mom said the people who boo me are simply wrong,” he added.

Cole, a 28-year WWE veteran, explained why Logan draws so much heat.

“Why do they hate Logan Paul? Because he’s a cocky prick,” Cole said bluntly.

Despite the fan reaction, Logan has proven his toughness inside the ring. He revealed that during his high-profile match against Roman Reigns, he suffered a torn MCL—but still finished the bout.

“I tore my MCL in my third match against Roman, but I had to keep going,” Logan said.

“In WWE, if you’re hurt, you can’t show it unless it’s part of the story. You have to do the opposite of what’s true.”

Cole agreed, pointing out that WWE stars work through injuries in a way that other athletes don’t. “A football player tears his MCL, he’s out of the game. You guys? You keep going.”

Between his undeniable athleticism and natural ability to generate reactions, Logan Paul is proving to be one of WWE’s most compelling figures—whether fans love him or not.
