WWE fans are still reeling from the epic showdown between Logan Paul and Cody Rhodes at King and Queen of the Ring this past Saturday night. Despite falling short of winning the Undisputed WWE Championship, Paul took to social media to break character and praise his opponent for their thrilling match.
In a rare moment of candor, Paul shared highlights of the match on his Instagram story, captioning the post “we cooked.” The gesture marked a rare departure from the trash-talking, arrogant persona he portrays in the ring. It’s clear that Paul has a deep respect for his fellow competitor, and the match itself was a testament to the high level of athleticism and showmanship both men brought to the table.
The match, which saw Rhodes emerge victorious, was hailed as one of the most memorable of the night. Despite Paul’s best efforts to steal the win, Rhodes proved to be a formidable opponent, refusing to back down even when faced with Paul’s underhanded tactics. In the end, Rhodes retained his title, solidifying his position as one of the top talents in the WWE.
Paul’s praise for Rhodes is hardly surprising, given the praise he’s received from wrestling legends like Vince Russo. Speaking on Wrestling’s Writing with Russo show last year, Russo lauded Paul’s charisma, stating that he’s already better than most of WWE’s roster. It’s a sentiment many fans would agree with, given Paul’s impressive performances in the ring.
One notable absence from King and Queen of the Ring was the Prime beverage logo, which was expected to be displayed in the center of the ring as part of a deal between Paul’s company and WWE. However, the logo was noticeably absent, leaving many to wonder if the partnership has hit a snag.
As fans look ahead to tonight’s episode of RAW, the anticipation is palpable. Will Paul continue to show his more humble side, or will he revert to his signature arrogance? One thing is certain: the WWE universe is eagerly anticipating what’s next for the social media sensation turned wrestling star.
