Logan Paul Discusses Catching Rey Mysterio At WWE Crown Jewel, Being Too Far Back On The Moonsault

Logan Paul comes clean. 

At WWE Crown Jewel, Logan Paul caught Rey Mysterio on a springboard moonsault, falling to his knees to catch Mysterio, who came up short on the jump. Paul prevented Rey from landing on his head before picking him up and slamming him. 

Speaking on Impaulsive, Logan reflected on the spot. 

“I’m going to come clean because I’ve seen all these positive headlines. ‘Logan saves Rey Mysterio.’ The Mexican community is going crazy, they’re praising me, saying I’m sort of hero. I’m like, ‘Dang, I’m getting recognized for something cool? I’ll take it.’ Then, I looked at the clip, upon assessing my performance, while I think I did save Rey Mysterio. I think I also almost killed Rey Mysterio. I think I was too far back for the move, and I think he didn’t clear enough ground for the move. That’s what happened. I was too far back, he didn’t clear enough ground, we both made a mistake. I had to catch him, I had to catch him. I wasn’t going to not catch him. truthfully, while I like the headlines and I like getting gassed up, I was just doing my job. I’ll take the praise. 

“The tough part is when I caught him, I was in like a spider-knee position. I have compromised knees, so maybe they could have snapped.”

Logan was victorious in the bout, winning the WWE United States Championship from Mysterio. 

Mysterio said on Tuesday that he has undergone successful knee surgery. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
