WWE is known for putting its faith and the future of the entire company on the shoulders of certain superstars it truly believes will be the torchbearers. In the past, it has done so with Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, and currently Roman Reigns. But now it’s time for a new generation of wrestlers to take the promotion forward. With that in mind, Triple H has singled out a few wrestlers he thinks will be the main event headliners in the future.

And one of those wrestlers is social media superstar Logan Paul who is currently signed with the RAW brand. WWE takes extra care of such wrestlers and tries to accommodate each of their needs. But this has miffed fans as they feel WWE could have added another match to SummerSlam just as they accommodated Logan Paul’s request to leave early.

Logan Paul’s fight was moved to the start of SummerSlam so he can travel to his brother’s fight that same night in Dallas

SummerSlam will be taking place in a few hours at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. And on the same night, internet sensation Jake Paul will be fighting UFC fighter Nate Diaz at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

Just like his younger brother Jake, Logan Paul also has a match that night at SummerSlam. He will be wrestling Ricochet after a month-long feud. But at the same time, Logan also wants to be present for his brother’s fight against Diaz. So Logan Paul made a request to Triple H. He asked him to push his match right at the start of the event.

And being one of the top superstars of the WWE, Triple H obliged and kept his and Ricochet’s match right at the beginning of SummerSlam. This irked a lot of fans who feel that just like Logan’s request, Becky Lynch’s request for a rematch also should have been accommodated.

But that match has been postponed to August 14th despite being built for months. And hence fans feel there is a lot of favoritism in the WWE, especially for male wrestlers. Fans were really upset, and they expressed their opinions on Twitter.

Fans believe that Logan Paul’s match should have been postponed instead of Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch

Fans were really upset that Triple H could change the timings of a match for one wrestler, but not squeeze in one match for another female wrestler. That is because WWE is very ‘adamant’ about runtime for their premium live events. And owing to this, some matches that were being built like Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus had to be pushed to a later date.

But this annoyed multiple fans who took to Twitter to vent their frustration.

One fan had a very interesting suggestion. He said they could have saved Logan more time by not having his match at all. And instead, they could have given the fans a women’s wrestling match instead.
