Shawn Michaels Returns To Ring With Top Star

YouTube personality turned professional boxer Logan Paul is currently one of the most popular celebrities in the world right now. He has been involved in a storyline in WWE back in April, as he was in Sami Zayn’s corner for his match against former WWE Universal champion Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 37. Logan Paul also recently leaked a bad Randy Orton text message.

 


 

He was involved in a feud with The Mysterios, as he was teaming up with The Miz, the former two-time WWE Champion and former multi-time WWE Intercontinental champion, and set to square off against the father and son combination of Rey and Dominik Mysterio in a tag team match at WWE WrestleMania 38. That ended up happening as the two teams duked it out on the Grandest Stage Of Them All.

Logan Paul and The Miz managed to win the match, thus Logan Paul would be successful in his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38. However, “The A-Lister” betrayed Paul by hitting him with a Skull Crushing Finale.

He then defeated The Miz at WWE SummerSlam back in July of this year.

On November 5th, Logan Paul will face Roman Reigns for his titles at WWE Crown Jewel, and a WWE star has trained him in Puerto Rico. Shawn Michaels also has trained him, as seen in a photo below.

“It’s him (Drew Gulak) and ‘Hurricane’ Shane Helms,” Paul told Ryan Satin of Fox Sports. “Drew’s been the body I’ve been kind of maneuvering and navigating with. He’s incredibly knowledgeable as well. So, him and Shane have been coaching me because I don’t have this luxury of having the learning curve like a lot of these wrestlers do. I need to get incredible now. I need to get incredible yesterday. I’m taking on the best the WWE has to offer in, what, two weeks? Three weeks? November 5th, Crown Jewel. I got of a time, man. So, send everyone you got and every resource you have to make me good now.”

As he goes on to challenge Reigns, Paul further explained what exactly training entails.

“I’m doing a lot of sit ups. I need my six pack,” he said. “No one likes a WWE superstar without a six pack. I’m getting in the ring a lot. WWE was nice enough to actually build a ring in Puerto Rico where I live so I can train, Because at the end of the day, ring generalship [and] comfortability in that squared circle is the most important. I’m finding that the more I can take my bumps, bounce off the ropes, practice my flips, obviously, practice makes perfect, the better I’m getting. I can feel it, too. Every single day I get in that ring and practice my slams, it’s just a little bit better and a little bit better.”

Paul continued on to state that “the physicality comes easy” to him, but there is another area he feels he needs work on. “Truly, what I need to work on is my mic skills. Man, I don’t I’m not comfortable on the mic. This is where I think you mentioned it.  I’ll be on the mic at a show at Madison Square Garden, 18,000 people watching, all heckling me live, talking their smack while I’m trying to deliver a story, is very difficult.”

“Doing WWE promos is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, and I have so much respect for the superstar superstars who get in there every Monday, every Friday on Smackdown, on Raw and rattle off this stuff to perfection to the tee because I’m just not there yet. But the physicality, yo, let’s go.”
