On the April 2, 2021 episode of SmackDown, the American YouTuber Logan Paul entered the WWE. At that time, fans thought of him as just another celebrity, who wanted to make a quick buck through his cameo. However, the YouTuber-turned-wrestler proved everyone wrong with his performances.
In spite of that, Logan Paul is still struggling to get the desired recognition among the WWE Universe. He is still facing the disapproval of several wrestling stars and legends. The same happened once again when WWE legend Kevin Nash disrespected Paul after taking a dig at LA Knight.

“Am I the only one that sees, like, an absolute rip-off of The Rock to the point when he cut the promo on f**king Logan Paul or whatever the f**k his name is?”, said Kevin Nash.
