"He's one of us" – Former WWE Champion breaks character to praise Logan Paul
After impressing both fans and WWE Superstars this year with his in-ring exploits, Logan Paul has earned the respect of Bobby Lashley.
Paul made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 this past April in a Tag Team Match against The Mysterios. He followed up the bout with two show-stealing singles performances against The Miz and Roman Reigns at WWE's SummerSlam and Crown Jewel events.
During a recent interview with Seconds Out, Bobby Lashley said he respects the 27-year-old star due to his commitment to the business. He also expects The Maverick to have a bright future in WWE.
"I have a little respect for Logan because I’ve seen him put in the work and that's one thing. Somebody that comes from outside the business, they usually only have one match, but he actually signed a contract, he’s one of us, he’s been putting in a lot of work, he’s put in a lot of time. I would like to see what he does here." (From 3:50 to 4:04)
