Logan Paul praises Ricochet and Samantha Irvin for SummerSlam match and build

[Chris]

Logan Paul had some kind words to say regarding Ricochet and Samantha Irvin on his podcast.

The 28-year-old was sporting a black eye as he spoke about his SummerSlam experience on Tuesday's edition of Impaulsive. Paul said he received the injury after getting kicked in the face early in the match.

"SummerSlam was fun," Paul said. "I was really tired in there, I was exhausted for some reason and especially trying to focus on the match and perform while I'm tired and also knowing the weight of the night ahead because that wasn't even the most exciting part of the night for me. We got a f---in flight to Dallas to get to. I literally exited the ring still sweating, huffing, and puffing into the SUV onto the jet to Dallas. Made it with time to spare. It was a night to remember."

Paul continued to talk about Irvin providing one of the most viral moments from their match when she announced him as the winner.

"I think we got the most viewed social clip as well. Well, not 'we', well, I was in it. Samantha Irvin, the ring announcer, who was my opponent's fiance. I was kind of taunting her beforehand. I was like, 'You know you're gonna be saying Logan Paul's the winner after I beat your man.' And there's a video of her announcing me winning the match after, 'And your winner is Logan Paul!' And she has just a look of torture and sadness, despair on her face but it's still delivering that energy of a ring announcer and I think that clip got like 30 million plus views or so."

"People really responded to our match," Paul continued. "Ricochet is so good, the guy's so good. He made it easy to look good. It was a fun match and I'm interested to see how this conversation continues in my WWE career story arc with this boxing weaving in. I want to hop back and forth, I don't know if it's ever been done."

Paul is scheduled to face MMA fighter Dillon Danis in a boxing bout on October 14 in Manchester. It will be his first fight since going eight rounds with Floyd Mayweather in an unscored exhibition bout on June 6, 2021.



Paul recently said he was close to fighting Nate Diaz but things fell apart after WWE got involved.

He always seems to speak so well about his experiences and puts over who ever he works with. Look forward to seeing who they have him paired up with next.

 

[Cwalker]

Dude is a fan so he’s kind of living a dream night now. I usually check out his podcast when he has a wrestler on and he always shows so much respect.

 

[John McHenry]

Yeah it's a great example of a celebrity doing it the right way. Really does make me wish Arquette would do another real match( i know i know( also it'd probably be in AEW against jungle boy)) Wonder who he will go against next, though I assume he'll face ricochet again before moving to someone else

 

[Cwalker]

I could see him working with Rey and the LwO next time he works

That's not a bad option at all.

Give me Logan Paul vs Gunther

 

[John McHenry]

Give me Logan Paul vs Gunther

Gunther just stands there catching all ove Pauls jumping then powerbombs him several times. He'd be instant babyface.

 

[Dale]

GUNTHER/Logan would actually be pretty great if they weren't both heels, though I still want it. Logan cutting a promo, lights go out and then GUNTHER's music hits

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I just want to see Logan get the shit chopped out of him

 

[#Waddles]

Logan vs Brock?

 

[Death By Looch]

Maybe we see him in a Survivor Series team next? Depending on what they'll go with this year...

 

[Dale]

Thought about that myself but figured it might clash with his boxing stuff, but SS is like a month after it so could be possible.

 

[Cwalker]

GUNTHER works really well with smaller guys(he works well with everyone tbf)

Bumping Paul bumping for him for 10 minutes before getting killed would be fun

 

[Y2Jayne]

Has Logan had the best celebrity / guest star run in WWE so far? Really feels like it. Solid matches all around, lots of charisma, great shape, good promos...
