Cornette also highlighted the dynamic between Paul and Kevin Owens during the match, expressing particular interest in their interaction:
“Logan Paul is fu*king natural. He’s a natural,” Cornette remarked. “The only thing I want to see more out of this match is Logan Paul and Kevin Owens because they were the interesting component of this. As we just mentioned, Logan Paul somewhere got a black sharpie and he’s drawing or writing backwards, like Owens is fat, and pictures of one of the Weebles that wobble. You fill it with sand but they won’t fall over. And that was great stuff.”
With Paul’s actions at the Elimination Chamber potentially setting the stage for a showdown with Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40, speculation mounts about the prospect of The Maverick defending the United States Championship against The Viper.
