Former WWE manager discusses when Logan Paul showed veteran instinct inside the ring (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently lauded Logan Paul for his performance at Crown Jewel.

The Social Media Megastar faced Rey Mysterio in a battle for the ages for the United States Championship. He managed to pick up the win over the veteran with the help of brass knuckles. However, he put on a stellar performance and went toe-to-toe with the masked luchador.

During this week's Smack Talk, Mantell claimed that Logan Paul had the in-ring IQ of a wrestling veteran.

"For a guy with no more experience than he has, you can't tell it. He could hang with the veterans."

He explained how The Maverick quickly caught Rey during their match at Crown Jewel. He said that Paul did a great job diving in to catch the masked veteran, which probably saved Mysterio's life.

"No matter what, he saved him. He sure did. I agree." [From 12:55 onwards]
