Logan Paul learned a couple of things this past weekend.
Firstly, that Kevin Owens is tougher than he originally thought, and secondly, that Paul Heyman is called "The Wise Man" for a reason.
The WWE United States Champion spoke on his latest IMPAULSIVE podcast about his WWE Royal Rumble 2024 Weekend, including his title defense against "The Prize Fighter" and getting some advice from the mouthpiece of The Bloodline.
"Kevin Owens is better than I thought," he admitted. "He’s good. I made fun of him. Frequently. Called him all sorts of things. Called him the Humpty Dumpty of WWE. Called him a 40-year-old school boy who dressed like a teenager. I underestimated him and I’m in a little bit of pain. I’m in a little bit of pain. I did retain my title, against all odds, for the first time in WWE. One title defense at a time. Who knows, at this rate, I could be the next Roman Reigns. I’m in pain. I bled. The position of the match was difficult. We were after the women’s Royal Rumble and the fatal four-way with Roman Reigns where he also retained his championship."
He continued, "Paul Heyman, after the match, comes out and everyone is chest out, they knew they just blew the fucking roof off with Roman. Paul Heyman goes, ‘Come here, son.’ Motions me over. ‘What’s up Paul?’ He goes, ‘You want some motivation?’ ‘Absolutely.’ He goes, ‘Follow that motherfucker.’ He goes, ‘You can do it.’ Kevin, he’s ruthless, I’ll be honest with you. He has fingerprints on my chest. My shoulder. I’ll be honest, I underestimated him. I was playing chess and he was playing checkers."
