A seasoned WWE Superstar has swiped at Logan Paul following the latter’s tribute to another prominent wrestler. Ivar, feeling the sting of defeat after losing his Elimination Chamber qualifier to LA Knight on Monday’s RAW, wasn’t in the most jovial spirits.
Meanwhile, Logan Paul is gearing up for his shot at qualifying for the Men’s Chamber, slated to face The Miz on this week’s SmackDown.
Earlier today, the United States Champion shared a clip from his training session at the Performance Center in Orlando on X. In the video,
Paul couldn’t help but notice a leaderboard listing Montez Ford as the record holder for the all-time PC broad jump at 11 feet 2 inches. Despite his best efforts, Paul fell short of matching Ford’s impressive leap.
“I’ve just been looking at this NXT Leaderboard… Montez Ford, 11 foot 2 inch broad jump. I’ll beat it right now. 11 yards! My man flew… I don’t know if I will get it right now, but I’ll get 9 [feet] right now. [jumps] D**n, that m**********r can jump! [jumps] That’s like 10.5… f**k! [jumps and lands on the same spot] Ahhh! F**k!,” Paul remarked.

Accompanying the post was a caption by Paul, showing his respect for Montez Ford. Ivar, however, offered a succinct yet pointed response to Paul’s tweet, which could be interpreted as a playful jab at the actor-wrestler.
“Keep trying kid,” Ivar wrote to Paul.
Despite his setback in the Elimination Chamber qualifier, Ivar has been receiving a singles push on RAW since his tag team partner Erik underwent neck fusion surgery in October 2023.
Logan Paul, initially entering the WWE scene seeking exposure, has evolved into one of the most noteworthy crossover talents in the company’s history. His foray into the ring has seen him face off against formidable opponents like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Rey Mysterio, the latter of whom he defeated to claim the United States Championship in November.
Montez Ford responded positively to Paul’s tribute, hinting at the possibility of a future showdown in the ring.
“Respect for making the effort! @LoganPaul Maybe one day in the ring we…,” Ford wrote.
As of now, Paul has yet to respond to one-half of the esteemed WWE Tag Team Triple Crown Champions.
