Jake Paul confronts booing fans before brother Logan's Wrestlemania 38 fight

Jake Paul riled up fans at Wrestlemania 38 before his brother Logan made his professional wrestling debut.

Alongside veteran wrestler The Miz, Logan wrestled against WWE legend Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik. A crowd of 77,000 was in attendance at the AT&T Stadium in Texas to watch the event.

Logan put on a great performance for his first appearance as he won the match with his tag team partner The Miz. In typical professional wrestling style, The Miz betrayed Paul by turning on him after their win as Paul left the ring by himself.

Jake was joined by WWE commentators before the event, but the Texas fans didn't give him the warmest welcome. The YouTube star turned boxer was met with boos which he welcomed by booing himself.

"I'm booing myself. My brother is about to take out Rey Mysterio then y'all won't be booing," Paul said. "Rey Mysterio [is] old, Rey Mysterio old. My brother's been preparing for this his whole life, state champion wrestler. This is what he was built for, this is what we were built for.

"This is his night. He's been training, locked in for this in Puerto Rico putting in the hours. He is not taking this lightly at all, him and Miz have that special connection that's going to get them the W and then this crowd is going to bow down to Logan Paul. That's right, you heard me! Boo yourself!

The broadcaster desk then asked if Jake would ever consider stepping in the ring as he replied: "I might jump on one of these guys right now. What? I knock out people like you for a living," Paul told the crowd. "I'll get in the ring, to answer your question, I'm getting in the ring."

Paul, who wore a Pokemon card around his neck in the ring from a batch he paid $3.5million for, described his WWE debut as surreal and said he can longer call himself the world's highest-paid loser after winning against the Mysterio's.

"This is surreal. I cannot believe I got the share a ring with the Mysterio's and also won the match. You know this is my first win, you know I can no longer say I'm the world's highest-paid loser, that was my thing. I won something, this is great!"

When asked why his partner The Miz turned on him, Paul said: "If I had to guess, he's probably jealous. I was doing flips, going off the top rope and doing cool s***. He doesn't have it like me, I think he got jealous and decided to turn on me."
