AEW star says Logan Paul being part of the Money in the Bank ladder match is "good for business"
Logan Paul has been making the headlines since joining WWE. AEW star Matt Hardy recently shared his thoughts on Paul's inclusion in the 2023 Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match.
Paul made a surprise announcement last week on RAW, declaring himself as a participant in the highly anticipated ladder match. The match will feature top-tier talents like Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, Damian Priest, LA Knight, Butch, and Santos Escobar.
However, his entry into the match has garnered mixed reactions from fans, as he did not qualify like the other six participants. AEW star Matt Hardy, a seasoned veteran of ladder matches, sees it as a positive move as far as business is concerned.
Speaking on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Hardy acknowledged that such decisions are part of the wrestling industry and are made with the goal of maximizing audience interest and engagement.
“I mean, it’s business. It happens. It’s good for business, and they usually do what’s best for business." [H/T - Wrestling Inc.]
When informed that Logan Paul's presence attracts not only his fanbase but also those who wish to see him receive a beating, Hardy thought that it was part of the "magic" of the industry.
"It’s part of the magic of pro wrestling,” Hardy said.
