WWE United States Champion Logan Paul recently took to an episode of his Impaulsive podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how he did save WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio from a serious injury at Crown Jewel, but he almost killed Mysterio as well because he was standing too far back.

Paul said, โ€œIโ€™m going to come clean because Iโ€™ve seen all these positive headlines. โ€˜Logan saves Rey Mysterio.โ€™ The Mexican community is going crazy, theyโ€™re praising me, saying Iโ€™m sort of hero. Iโ€™m like, โ€˜Dang, Iโ€™m getting recognized for something cool? Iโ€™ll take it.โ€™ Then, I looked at the clip, upon assessing my performance, while I think I did save Rey Mysterio. I think I also almost killed Rey Mysterio. I think I was too far back for the move, and I think he didnโ€™t clear enough ground for the move. Thatโ€™s what happened. I was too far back, he didnโ€™t clear enough ground, we both made a mistake. I had to catch him, I had to catch him. I wasnโ€™t going to not catch him. truthfully, while I like the headlines and I like getting gassed up, I was just doing my job. Iโ€™ll take the praise. The tough part is when I caught him, I was in like a spider-knee position. I have compromised knees, so maybe they could have snapped.โ€
