Many were impressed by Logan Paul’s performance at WWE Crown Jewel. The YouTube celebrity took Roman Reigns to the absolute limit and even filmed himself performing a frog splash onto the Tribal Chief through the announce table.
In his latest Reffin’ Rant on Twitter, former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas spoke highly of the WWE rookie and said he “blew away all expectations.”
“I realize that a lot of people are not big fans of celebrity involvement in pro wrestling, but what happened this weekend blew me away,” he began. “Look, I know a lot of people didn’t want to see Logan Paul in that main event slot against Roman Reigns, because it took a spot away from someone who has been working very hard and diligently with the company. He was just inserted in that spot in a one-off, maybe. Look, I understand that, I get that. But you’ve gotta understand that from a business standpoint, he does have 20 or so million followers, whatever the case may be and that’s what they were capitalizing on, his notoriety and maybe drawing some new fans in.”
He continued, “But you’ve got to give him credit. Because he blew away all expectations. And you can put the credit on whoever. On Shawn Michaels for the training, on Roman Reigns for guiding him through which, all of which is legitimate. But at the same time, hats off to Logan Paul. What a performance. He really blew it out of the water, and I hope he gets better soon.”

Logan Paul later confirmed that he suffered a torn meniscus, MCL and potentially ACL in his battle with Reigns. It’s unclear how much time Logan will need to recover before stepping back inside the WWE ring.
