Speaking on a recent edition of his “Impaulsive” podcast, Logan Paul discussed not understanding why he was booed at first when he joined WWE.
Paul made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 by teaming with The Miz to beat The Mysterios (Dominik Mysterio & Rey Mysterio). After the bout, The Miz turned on him, making Paul a babyface.
“I’m obviously a heel, and I like it, but I didn’t at first. When I first got there and people started booing me, I really took it personal. I just didn’t understand. I was pissed. Bruce Prichard came back, ‘that was amazing. They hate you.’ I’m affected by this. Now, I eat it up, and I started to play with the interaction with people in the front row who are booing me. I have to say, the WWE fans have balls. I will get in their face and they’re flipping me off. ‘F**k you.’ I’m right here [face-to-face]. I’m sorry, sir, I could end your life where you stand — I obviously won’t because it’s illegal — the fact that they have no regret and no signs of backing down right in front of my face, they have respect for me. They’re a character too. They’re having fun. Now, I’m leaning into it. I’m liking it, and they love to hate me,” he said.
