Wrestling Legend Gives “Mainstream” Reason for WWE Positioning Logan Paul to Win Money in the Bank

Money in the Bank is one of the most awaited PPV in the WWE Calendar year. Not just by the fans but by wrestlers too. As they see this career altering opportunity like a catalyst which can propel them to the top of the WWE food chain.

Past winners of the MITB include Edge, CM Punk and even Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins. All of whom have reached great heights after clinching that prized briefcase. So needless to say, all of the 7 participants in the men’s MITB ladder match will give heart and soul to win that night. But a pro wrestling great is already speculating one of the least favorites to win on Sunday.

Logan Paul might just win because of the buzz it will create on the internet

On last week’s RAW, Logan Paul announced that he will be the 7th participant in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Fans are gunning for LA Knight to win MITB while a select few are also rooting for Damian Priest.

Most fans don’t want Paul to win but former NWO member and wrestling great Konnan believes that Paul might just win because of his popularity.

On his podcast ‘Keepin’ It 100 OFFICIAL’ Konnan said, “I’m thinking, bro, just because of all the time they’re giving Paul here, I have a feeling, I’m thinking they want Paul to go over because of the buzz it will generate. Because Knight won’t generate the mainstream buzz even though he’ll be the most over guy in the match.”

But this will not be the first main event that Logan Paul will be part of. In his short WWE career he has locked horns with some wrestling heavyweights but is yet to win gold.

Logan Paul’s journey so far in the WWE

Paul made his in-ring debut with The Miz in a tag-team match against father son duo of Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38. But after winning the match, The Miz attacked Paul and that led to another match between the two at Summerslam where Paul defeated Miz.

Paul then challenged The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns for The Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel but lost in the process in spite of help from his brother Jake. This match in general got a lot of acclaim because of Paul’s athleticism. Paul even appeared in The Royal Rumble where he eliminated Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins. He later developed a rivalry with Rollins which led to their match at WrestleMania 39 which Paul lost. But here too he received wide praise for his in-ring skills and high-rise maneuvers.
