Seth Rollins’ plans were foiled by Logan Paul at the Royal Rumble in January when he threw him over the top rope and defeated him, ending his chance to be the main event at WrestleMania 39. But not satisfied with that, Paul struck once more in the Elimination Chamber, costing The Visionary the opportunity to reclaim the US Title from Austin Theory.
The social media megastar will now face Rollins live from Boston, Massachusetts, on WWE Raw the following week. Rollins interrupted The A- Lister’s most recent episode of Miz TV with earnest intentions after stomping The Miz three times during their match the previous week. He only requested that Miz call Paul on his behalf, but Miz refused and labelled him a goof before getting hit with a superkick.
The former Universal Champion snatched Miz’s phone as he was being knocked unconscious and unlocked it so he could call Paul directly. “Surprise!” Rollins went on. “Sorry, L.P., The Miz is temporarily out of action. But while I’ve got your attention, I have a small pitch for you. You know, I believe we’ve all grown rather tired of the cat-and-mouse game you’ve been playing.”
“So how about you grow a set, appear on “Raw,” take a seat in this ring, and square off with Seth Rollins’s baby the following week?” Paul agreed to the idea almost instantly. Rollins couldn’t resist saying, “Bye-bye, b****!” before cutting the call short. All indications lead to a match between Rollins and Paul on The Grandest Stage in California with WrestleMania still more than a month away.
Logan Paul and Seth Rollins
Having said that, Paul has experience with major matches. While he was unsuccessful at the January Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns was stretched to the edge when they competed at Crown Jewel in November for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. Logan Paul and Seth Rollins appear to be heading for conflict now that their WWE WrestleMania 39 match is confirmed. When Rollins was defeated by Paul in the men’s Royal Rumble match, their paths first crossed.
Then, Paul unexpectedly showed up during the United States Championship match at the Elimination Chamber to fight with Rollins. On a recent episode of “Wrestling With Freddie,” former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. discussed their impending conflict. “I’ll now state the negative information first One of the worst curb stomps I’ve ever witnessed was that in the Elimination Chamber.” He said, “When Paul believes he is a babyface, he is a better heel than when he is trying to be one.”
