WWE U.S. Champion Logan Paul is ready to take on the virtual world, judging by his arrival to last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
The February 9, 2024, episode of WWE SmackDown saw the blue brand deal with the WrestleMania 40 kick-off press conference fallout and build toward WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth. The Men’s Elimination Chamber match will determine Seth Rollins’ WrestleMania opponent, as confirmed on SmackDown.
One name who could compete in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match is Logan Paul, who will face The Miz in a qualifying match next week. At SmackDown, Paul arrived wearing the Apple Vision Pro headset. As he dabbled in the virtual world, Paul spoke about a “member of TKO’s board assault an employee”, a nod to The Rock slapping Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania kick-off press conference.

Logan Paul Wants The Rock Treatment
During the show, Paul confronted SmackDown GM Nick Aldis, and made clear that he wanted a challenger for his U.S. title, not a qualifying match. These kind of matches are for unqualified people, as Paul argued, which he is not.
The Maverick was also unhappy that his qualifying match will take place in Utah and said that he should be receiving “The Rock treatment”: walking in and doing whatever he wants, including “smack somebody across the face [and be] back on the jet.” Despite these frustrations, Paul agreed to face The Miz and vowed he’ll win, win inside the Elimination Chamber, and beat Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Champion.
