On a recent edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” Logan Paul discussed his upcoming match against Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes at WWE King & Queen of the Ring, which is scheduled for tomorrow in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Paul said, “My story’s not even begun yet. Cody’s story, it’s great. It’s highly captivating. The thing about Cody’s story, though, is it’s over. Am I wrong? Cody said ‘finish the story,’ he finished his story. Congratulations, you won. He’s been an excellent champion, and he will always be remembered as an excellent champion for about two months. That’s where I come in. I am a forever champion. I will be a forever champion for the rest of my life. My last name is Paul, there’s two of them. One’s gonna beat Mike Tyson, the other’s gonna beat Cody Rhodes. You will not be able to talk about combat sports without hearing the last name Paul.”
In a recent interview with TNT Sports, Chad Gable discussed his recent character transformation, describing it as an opportunity to showcase a more authentic version of himself.
Following his heel turn after WrestleMania 40, Gable has targeted Sami Zayn and openly criticized his fellow Alpha Academy teammates.
He said, “Yeah. It’s certainly easier, I’ll tell you that much. Most people probably identify with the fact that it’s easier to get people to hate you than it is to like you. This version of it, believe it or not, is probably the closest to maybe my real personality than anything else I’ve done. Not to say that I’m like a jerk, but I’m a very hard-nosed, disciplined human being in real life. If you ask anyone close to me, they’d tell you the same. I don’t necessarily talk to them the way that I talk to the Alpha Academy right now. They also do know that when it comes down to the things that I take seriously like training and fitness, anything I apply that discipline to, they don’t interfere in that part of my life. Otherwise, those tendencies in me do come out and they might catch me a little crankier than I normally would be. It’s a very real part of my personality, which is cool. When I told Otis, when we’re doing some of this character work on TV that we’ve been doing lately, it’s so fun to me because there is zero stress or thinking involved. When I’m going through and working through some of these promos or interviews, I don’t think at all, it just comes out and I’m like, ‘Man, that feels good.’ I’m not even working now. I’m just being me. It feels like it’s resonated because people are seeing something where they’re like, ‘We’ve been waiting to see this’.”
