Reason The Miz Attacked Logan Paul At WrestleMania

Logan Paul was betrayed by The Miz at the end of their WrestleMania match. Though latest report suggest that it was something the YouTuber himself wanted.

Dave Meltzer talked about the Show Of Shows on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio. He also discussed the celebrity guest’s in-ring debut at the PPV.

Meltzer revealed that the reason The Miz turned on him after the Mania match was because Paul had negotiated to become a babyface at the end of his WWE run.

The YouTube star also worked as a face during his involvement in the Kevin Owens – Sami Zayn storyline leading to their WrestleMania 37 match.

However, fans didn’t buy Logan Paul as a babyface and he was booed even in his hometown of Cleveland. This is why he aligned himself with The Miz this time around.

Paul and The A-Lister defeated The Mysterios during WrestleMania Saturday. The Miz turned on his partner after the match, giving him a Skull Crushing Finale.

Logan Paul has said that he would be interested in wrestling full-time if it made sense with his schedule. Though he did not appear on this week’s Raw. There is no word yet on if WWE has any immediate plan to follow up on his storyline with The Miz.

At one point, Paul hit a big boot to Rey and got a lot of boos. Paul with the three amigos. Paul hit a frog splash on Rey. Rey and Dominik with a double 619 then Dominik with a frog splash. Miz suplexed Dominik onto Rey and Miz hit the skull crushing finale for the win. Post-match, Miz hit skull crushing finale.

The social media/celebrity boxing star was revealed as Miz’s WrestleMania partner on an episode of Raw in February. After losing to Rey on the Elimination Chamber pre-show, Miz teased that he would find a partner who is a “global superstar” to team with to take on the father and son tag team. They later did a Miz TV segment where Miz and Paul beat down The Mysterios. 

This marked the second time that Paul has been involved with WrestleMania as at WrestleMania 37 in 2021, he was stunned by Kevin Owens.

“Great for YouTube. I’m happy for those guys. They worked at something. They built their name up. They thought outside the box, they promoted themselves.”

As far as whether or not Logan can hang with WWE superstars, Lesnar thinks it’s possible.

“Can he become a professional wrestler? Maybe if he puts as much ambition into that.”

Logan Paul is a rather polarizing figure. The internet personality has a great many fans and an equal number of haters. Yet that didn’t stop him from making the most out of his WWE appearance at Wrestlemania 37.

“Sold? Like, I actually, I actually got f*cked up” he commented before going on to quash the naysayers claims that wrestling is always fake.

Paul’s involvement in this match started earlier this month when Paul accepted Zayn’s invitation as a guest for Zayn’s red carpet premiere of his documentary trailer that was shown on the April 2nd edition of Friday Night SmackDown. 

The trailer aired and showed him feeling that everyone was against him. Zayn asked for Paul’s thoughts following the end of the trailer, Paul stated put a lot of effort into the trailer. This led to Owens coming out and giving Zayn a stunner then telling him to stop with the conspiracies.

Owens brushed against Paul after he left the ring and later in the show, Zayn attacked him.
