CLEVELAND, OHIO: Logan Paul put everything on the line by participating in the Money in the Bank (MITB) 2023 event, managing to awe the WWE audience that was looking forward to seeing him in the ring. Even though the YouTuber-turned-professional wrestler didn't manage to win the coveted briefcase, his stunning performance was well-appreciated, and he'll be back for SummerSlam 2023 for his next appearance in a WWE ring.
Paul will apparently take on Ricochet at the high-profile live event, and Triple H, the boss of WWE content, has already planned for the star to be there in August. Keep reading to know more about this intriguing announcement.
Logan Paul vs Ricochet
Paul's incredible performance at the MITB wowed not only the WWE audience but also the wrestling organization. It seems like there are high expectations for Paul as he's about to be present in the SummerSlam event, which can help him recover from the devastating bumps he faced during the ladder match. While Paul and Ricochet were tussling during the Men's MITB ladder match, both of them fell on a set of tables while trying to do the "Spanish Fly." Ricochet's backflip turned out to be a terrifying bump for Paul, who scarped his shoulder along with hitting his head.
The scene was shared by the WWE as a "viral moment," and the organization even shared a video of the duo fighting backstage. Apparently, the goal was to hype up a fight that would take place between Ricochet and Paul at SummerSlam. Ricochet even slammed Paul during a 'WWE Raw' interview, saying, "What I don't respect is that he gets in my face after the match; that made things personal." Moreover, Ricochet challenged Paul to meet him in the ring on 'Monday Night Raw' for a face-to-face fight. Moreover, it looks like the WWE is planning something big during the "Biggest Party of the Summer," which will include a one-on-one match between Paul and Ricochet, according to a source from Ringside News. Triple H has reportedly "internally confirmed" this match.
What's about to happen during SummerSlam 2023?
It's safe to say that the WWE has some enormous plans for SummerSlam 2023, besides Paul taking on Ricochet. Even though the event's matchups have not yet been finalized, the narratives leading up to the pay-per-view live-streaming event are quite intriguing. This time, the event begins on Saturday, August 5, at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan,
Seth Rollins, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, who is a part of the Judgment Day storyline, will definitely take on a match with Finn Balor. Moreover, in a major tag team bout at MITB, Jey Uso successfully pinned Roman Reigns, so fans can expect more tussle between the duo in a singles rematch during the SummerSlam draws. Due to the intense animosity between Austin Theory and Sheamus, SummerSlam may include both talents and LA Knight in a WWE United States Championship showcase. The event can also be the venue where the generational rivalry between Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch comes to an end.
