If anyone knows how to make a headline, it is Logan Paul. People know Paul to be the one who makes the headline every time he does anything, be it YouTube, boxing, or WWE. His every move is calculative and thoroughly researched, as he knows what makes the audience pop off.
Just like copying ‘Hangman’ Adam Page’s Buckshot Lariat, he copied another one, but this time, he isn’t playing around with the reference. More than that though, Paul outdid himself. Not only did he make the audiences take full notice but also got into the head of his opponent. He shot two birds with one stone when stole a finisher from former WWE Champion, CM Punk.

In his match against Rollins, Paul didn’t hold off when it came to executing his moves, inside and out of the ring. But one move must have stung a little too hard for the Architect as Paul hit him with the GTS, the famous finisher by CM Punk. In a recent interview, Rollins spoke up about how much he despises the idea of Punk coming back to WWE.

Even though the wrestling world is divided on their feelings about CM Punk, especially after his recent behavior, dragging many AEW wrestlers into his drama, the fans are loving it. At the end of the day, Paul and Rollins both know that wrestling is about giving the fans the worth for their money.
This fan thinks Paul is doing a better job than Punk at hitting the GTS.
At this point Logan is just using CM Punk's moveset and he does it better LMAO

The GTS is synonymous with the one and only, CM Punk.

I like that Logan Paul studied CM Punk-Hangman and just took both of their finishers lmao

This just goes to show the love wrestling fans still have for CM Punk despite everything that happened with AEW. But this isn’t news for Paul, he also hits another former AEW World Champion, ‘Hangman’ Adam Page’s finisher as well.
