Cody Rhodes compliments Logan Paul's performance
Rhodes praised Paul for his in-ring performance in the Stamford-based promotion during a recent episode of the 'GabbyAF' podcast. According to Rhodes, Paul's popularity has ruffled some feathers among "pretend wrestlers."
Rhodes said, "There are some what I call 'pretend wrestlers' in all companies all across the world and I think he probably irritates them the most because brother is an absolutely stellar professional wrestler, absolutely stellar. And he's the greatest rookie year of all time."
He continued, "Perhaps he is blazing forward. So, I look forward to what he does."
The former superstar believes that the organization's decision to bestow the United States Championship upon Paul "makes sense" for one specific reason.
WWE icon Booker T also praised Logan Paul
Logan Paul was also lauded by WWE icon Famer Booker T in an episode of his 'Hall of Fame' podcast. The current color commentator for NXT said that Paul's victory in the US Championship did not surprise him.
Booker also noted that Paul may be used in a variety of ways by the Stamford-based business.
Booker said, "I'm not surprised, The Maverick, this guy [can] work from multiple perspectives. He can go out and perform inside the wrestling ring. I think he can go out and box."
He further added, "I think he even got a little MMA in his background as well, as he's one of the biggest podcasters, I think, out there ever. Yeah, YouTubers, my bad."
"This guy's got it going on, so I see the WWE being able to use this kid in so many different ways. Rey Mysterio has had a hell of a run, and Logan Paul, I'm not surprised him winning that match because he is pretty good at what he does," he concluded.
Logan Paul's WWE schedule is not within Triple H's control, according to Dave Meltzer.
