#1. Logan Paul may just have saved his WWE opponent's neck
Despite making his WWE debut only a year and a half ago, Logan Paul has thoroughly impressed the pro wrestling world with his seemingly natural knack for the art. In his latest appearance, he faced and beat Rey Mysterio to become the new WWE United States champion at Crown Jewel.
However, what earned him applause on social media was not the pinfall finish but quick thinking on his feet that may have saved his opponent from a potentially career-ending injury.
In one segment of the match, Mysterio was about to crash head-first into the mat after a flip from the rope, but Paul caught him on his shoulder mid-air before he could land. This may have saved the WWE legend from suffering a grave injury to his neck.
Logan's brother Jake Paul shared a video of himself reacting to the win and got trolled for being excited about a "scripted win."
