WWE Raw: Logan Paul feels the ‘yeet,’ as Jey Uso hits him with a superkick ahead of their title match at Smackdown | Hollywood News

WWE Raw: Influencer-turned-professional wrestler Logan Paul walked out to a sold-out Greenville crowd at last night’s Raw, and tried to rile up the audience for his upcoming title match with Jey Uso. As the crowd refused to hear him out and kept chanting ‘yeet’ in support of Jey, Paul became visibly frustrated, and to add to his problems, the former heavyweight champion Gunther came out to give his two cents.
Logan started the segment pointing out some ‘facts,’ for the crowd while addressing himself in the third person, emulating The Rock. “Jey Uso has eyes on everyone in this company except for Logan Paul. My favourite fact of them all is that I have knocked out Jey 3 times, I have left him unconcious, flatlined and face-first on the floor. Guess what? sorry Greenville, I am going to do it again this Saturday.” Before Paul could finish his last sentence about becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion, the ‘Ring General’ Gunther interrupted him.

Gunther had previously announced that he was going to face the winner of the match between Jey and Logan, and even though the crowd started mocking him for tapping out at Wrestlemania 41, Gunther proceeded to focus his attention on Paul. He said, “You seem very confident that you can beat the guy, that beat me for my World Heavyweight Championship. So I need to assume that you believe, you’re better than me.” Gunther acknowledged Paul’s confidence and admitted that people in the company owe him more respect.
He added that the WWE might just be another ‘business’ or means to an end for Paul, but it is extremely personal to him. “It might be a business to you, but it is very personal to me, beating Jey Uso for the title is personal to me and if you take that away from me, I will take that as disrespect.” Gunther warned Paul of the consequences of winning his match on Smackdown and started walking away from the ring. As dance between the two superstars grew, Paul became more vocal but Gunther started smiling as Jey Uso made his way into the ring, Logan having no idea of hid presence.
Cheers from the crowd grew as Logan turned right into a superkick Jey. The current heavyweight champion stood over Logan and said, “I am going to see you on Saturday, and Gunther, I am going to see you in Phoenix. The Monday Night Raw, where Gunther will face the winner of the match on Saturday will take place in Phoenix on June 9.
