WWE Superstar Logan Paul Name Drops LeBron James & Takes Shot At Cleveland Browns [Watch]
When WWE brought Monday Night Raw to Cleveland, Ohio, it was a special night for the hometown crowd. One of the highlights of the evening was the return of Logan Paul, the YouTube star, and Cleveland native. Paul made sure to emphasize the exceptional talent that hails from his hometown, proclaiming that the best people in the world come from Cleveland.
In his charismatic and confident style, Paul listed some notable names that have made Cleveland proud. First, he mentioned none other than LeBron James, the legendary basketball player who brought glory to the city during his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Paul’s recognition of James as one of the best people from Cleveland resonated with the crowd, as they erupted in cheers for the beloved athlete.
Paul then turned his attention to another local legend, Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, a professional wrestling icon who is well-known for his memorable performances and charismatic commentary. By acknowledging Lawler as a Cleveland gem, Paul highlighted the rich wrestling history associated with the city.
With his own accomplishments and growing fame, Logan Paul added himself to the list of exceptional individuals from Cleveland. His inclusion in this distinguished group further showcased his hometown pride and created an electric atmosphere for the WWE fans in attendance. The return of Logan Paul became an unforgettable moment in a night filled with excitement, celebration, and a shared sense of Cleveland’s greatness.
“Y’all know this but the best peopoe inL the world come from right here in Cleveland; you got LeBron James, Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, Logan Paul, and you know, when I look back at my life in Cleveland, I think about the moments that made me great,” said Paul.
“The moment that made me great was when I left Cleveland and got to pursue my dreams in Hollywood. Y’all stayed and got to freeze y’all a**es off in the winter. I got back here and walked outside and it smells like industrial steal guys, and the Browns still suck.”
He would later talk about people from Cleveland can’t stop losing.
“Jake Paul, my brother just lost his last boxing match; I lost to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, heck The Miz lost tonight, but mark my words, people, today is the day that Clevelanders are done losing. I, Logan Paul, am going to single-handedly put some respect on this great city’s name.”
