Days After Showing Reluctance in Working With WWE, KSI Takes a Massive U-Turn by Challenging Former World Champion

Over the years, WrestleMania, WWE’s marquee event, has been privy to some unexpected occurrences. Be it a shocking match result, an unforeseen return or a surprise entry, fans have witnessed it all. Needless to say, spectators at the SoFi stadium were devoid of the conventions.

Former NFL punter Pat McAfee made a surprise return and along with NFL tight end George Kittle, sabotaged The Miz’s night. The match was commissioned on-spot by none other than rapper Snoop Dogg, who had earlier in the evening chaperoned Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. Kittle wasn’t the only debutant this year.

Just days ago, Logan Paul’s good friend KSI had outrightly rejected “business” with the WWE. Yet, he was present in an able capacity and impacted the result of the match between the social media influencer and Seth Rollins. Meanwhile, just minutes after his WrestleMania debut, KSI challenged a former world champion.

KSI wants to face Bobby Lashley, says he is ready for the challenge

Logan Paul’s 29-year-old friend and business partner has his eyes set on the big prize. In an exclusive backstage interview, the internet celebrity name dropped “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley as his opponent. Lashley, 46, is a 2x WWE Champion, who has recently been involved in a bitter feud with Brock Lesnar.

Speaking to Cathy Kelley, the debutant said, “Bobby Lashley. Put me in with the beast. Why not…I’m up for the challenge.” The co-owner of Prime energy drink, however, admitted to the size difference between the former UFC fighter and himself, stating, “He’s literally like triple me.”

Earlier in the evening, KSI entered the arena incognito as his company mascot alongside Logan Paul. Midway into the match, he pulled out Paul from being hit by a curb stomp and revealed himself. 

Feeling confident about his job, KSI took out his phone and proceeded to film his friend’s attempted splash at The Visionary, but the latter was able to switch places as Logan Paul jumped on his friend instead.

Moments later, Rollins was able to pin Paul and pick up the victory.

KSI had once stated he had no business to be in the WWE

In a recent WIRED episode of “KSI Answers the Web’s Most Searched Questions”, the boxer had stated his stance of joining the WWE. Answering the query: “Will KSI join the WWE?” He stated, “No, I have no business to be in the WWE. Nope, nope, nope.”

Needless to say, he was trying to keep his WrestleMania debut under wraps. Unlike Paul, though, KSI wasn’t featured as a talent. But, with the 29-year-old calling out a veteran like Lashley, it remains to be seen when he makes his main roster debut.

His friend, on the other hand, has managed to wow the WWE Universe with his athleticism in a short time and by the looks of it, is set to remain an integral part of the Seth Rollins story in the near future.
