YouTube megastar Logan Paul and formal WWE United States Champion Ricochet opened the show for SummerSlam. It was one of the better matches of the show as the duo presented an excellent performance. It was an amazing high flying showcase and the fans in the arena and the ones that were watching it on the TV just loved it.
Ricochet was always treated as a lower mid card in WWE Who somehow managed to in some mid card Championships. But after Triple H became in charge of the creative of WWE, he is trying to treat him in a little better way. Receiving the big match on such a huge stage was a big boost for the former Intercontinental Champion.
SummerSlam Spectacle: Logan Paul’s Perspective On His Match And The Praise For Ricochet
Everybody expected Logan Paul to win this match but one thing that nobody expected was the way he would win. He had to cheat to win this match which actually was a very good boost for Ricochet and it also kept the door open for more matches between the two in the future. Speaking on the latest episode of his Impaulsive, Paul said the following about his SummerSlam opponent and his match;
“That SummerSlam was fun. I was really tired in there. I was exhausted for some reason and especially trying to focus on the match and perform while I’m tired and also knowing the weight of the night ahead, because that wasn’t even the most exciting part of the night for me, you know? We got a f*cking flight to Dallas to get to. I literally exited the ring, still sweating, huffing and puffing, into the S.U.V., onto the jet to Dallas, made it with time to spare. It was a night to remember dude.

“I think we (Paul & Ricochet) got the most viewed social clip as well. Well not ‘we’. I was in it. Samantha Irvin, the ring announcer, who was my opponent’s fiancée, I was kind of taunting her. Beforehand, I was like, ‘You’re gonna be saying Logan Paul’s the winner after I beat your man’ and there’s a video of her announcing me winning the match after.
“‘And your winner is Logan Paul’ and she has just a look of torture and sadness, despair on her face but is still delivering the energy of a ring announcer and I think that clip got like 30 million-plus views or so. People really responded to our match and Ricochet is so good. The guy’s so good.
“He made it easy to look good and it was a fun match, and I’m interested to see how this conversation continues and my WWE career story arch happens with this boxing weaving in, you know? Because I wanna hop back and forth. I don’t know if it’s ever been done.” Concluded the Youtube sensation.
After the match, Logan Paul did not appear on RAW and it does not look like he would come back before any big event anymore, something that everybody expected. He is not a full time wrestler in the promotion and that is what part timers do. But we can expect him to make his return soon and he might even continue his feud with Ricochet upon his return.
