WWE took a well-calculated punt when they hired Logan Paul to wrestle at Summerslam, but head of creative Triple H has said he had no idea who the YouTuber was prior to signing.
Paul—who has signed a 'multi-year, multi-event' deal with WWE—made a literal splash when he defeated The Miz in a 15-minute blockbuster at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The social media star pulled off a flurry of signature moves and was praised for his bag of tricks, which included a frog splash from the tope rope onto the announcer tables.
If there were anyone in or around the WWE universe who wasn't aware of his pro wrestling potential, they are now. And Triple H—real name Paul Levesque—is among that number after having his eyes opened to Paul's prowess inside the ring.
