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, โIโm going to come clean because Iโve seen all these positive headlines. โLogan saves Rey Mysterio.โ The Mexican community is going crazy, theyโre praising me, saying Iโm sort of hero. Iโm like, โDang, Iโm getting recognized for something cool? Iโll 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 didnโt clear enough ground for the move. Thatโs what happened. I was too far back, he didnโt clear enough ground, we both made a mistake. I had to catch him, I had to catch him. I wasnโt going to not catch him. truthfully, while I like the headlines and I like getting gassed up, I was just doing my job. Iโll 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
