00:00I
00:20Don't mean that
00:30He's like he's rich
00:42Oh my
01:00Every angle
01:21Needed
01:23Every hit I want a match
01:25If I want it on the game
01:27I ain't an angel but I'm winning
01:31I don't see no competition
01:33Everyone on my position
01:35But they never had it in
01:39They never had it in
01:41I never had it in
01:43For me I'm so humble
01:45How can I be so good
01:47How can I be so humble
01:49How can I be so damn rich and still humble
01:51How can I be so humble
01:53How can I be so humble
01:55How can I be so humble
01:57How can I be so humble
01:59How can I be so humble
02:01How can I be so humble
02:03I'm still humble
02:05Just catching a drone out of the sky
02:07Oh too good
02:09Too good
02:11The following contest is scheduled for one fall
02:13Here's the DG first
02:15From Toronto to
02:17With the Rico
02:19By way of Cleveland, Ohio
02:22Weighting
02:23At 220 pounds
02:27Logan Paul
02:31And this match tonight is presented by
02:37The General Insurance
02:39The General Insurance gives you a break
02:41When you need it most
02:43No matter what you think about Logan Paul
02:45He's been incredible at WrestleMania
02:46He's 2-1
02:47And last year he beat Randy Orton
02:49And Kevin Owens in the same match
02:51Logan Paul
02:53Has been spectacular
02:55Logan Paul is so humble
02:57Is what his song says
02:59Yes he would say
03:00I'm great at everything
03:01I could be the most insufferable human on earth
03:04And instead he shows up
03:06And shows out every time
03:09He's a champion
03:11From Gainesville
03:37Guys, AJ Styles finds himself in the fifth WrestleMania match of his career.
03:58And tonight, taking on a young man who has taken WWE and the entire planet by school,
04:05Logan Paul.
04:06Wade, you've got to be impressed with how quickly Paul has taken to this game.
04:11Yeah, the guy's an absolute natural love him or loathe him.
04:14And I feel like the vast majority are on the loathing end of the spectrum.
04:20He is a point-of-viewing.
04:21Every time he's out here, he shocks, he surprises, and very often he has success.
04:28But what a major opportunity it is for Logan Paul to cement himself as a bona fide top-tier
04:34competitor with victory tonight.
04:37He was a great amateur wrestler in high school or in college.
04:40He then wanted to become an entrepreneur, taking over the internet and digital world,
04:45making himself hundreds of millions of dollars.
04:47He creates, he builds, and since he's gotten to the WWE, he has taken over.
04:57Now he's gonna take on a man who's been around the world and back in this professional wrestling world.
05:04The phenomenal one, A.J. Scott.
05:09You know, Wade, you talk about the loathing for Logan Paul.
05:13I believe a lot of it has to do with the fact that people are jealous of what this young man has accomplished so far.
05:20And not just his in-ring career, but in everything he's done in the business world.
05:24Well, there's supposed to be a natural order to success.
05:27You're supposed to pay your dues, come up the hard way, earn it every step of the way.
05:31The problem with Logan Paul is he didn't have to do any of that.
05:34He simply jumped the line and was immediately really good.
05:38You're right, it's jealousy.
05:39Mediocre people love to fall in line.
05:42Greatness likes to get to the top quick.
05:44Logan Paul will bet on himself every time.
05:47And now he's found himself eye to eye with a phenomenal one.
05:51Well, mediocre people also like to blame others.
05:54Logan Paul blames no one as he locks up with A.J. Styles to start this match.
06:00If you're Paul Wade, what's your strategy against the men?
06:02Well, you simply got into the head of A.J. Styles already.
06:05You can't match his experience, but you can match his athleticism.
06:10And I don't say that lightly because A.J. Styles is just otherworldly athleticism.
06:15Logan Paul is as gifted as they come.
06:19You're not going to push A.J. Styles around, though.
06:22But I think Logan Paul is okay with a little bit of a fistfight as well.
06:26This is actually a great matchup.
06:28Well, I'll tell you right now, Logan Paul on several occasions over the past couple of months
06:31has outfoxed and outsmarted A.J. Styles.
06:35He's done that because Logan Paul doesn't think the same way as the rest of us.
06:39It's part of why he's had success.
06:41And when Logan Paul thinks differently, it makes it very difficult to figure out an outmaneuver.
06:47The thing about Logan Paul is he's always developing, always learning.
06:50He knows he's new to the game, but he wants to get to the top as fast as possible.
06:53Tremendous aptitude for WWE as Logan Paul hangs on and says, not quite, A.J.
07:00A.J. now going to be launched out to the apron.
07:02Styles with a well-placed shoulder to the gut, slides underneath Paul.
07:06A.J. very quick and agile, set across the ring.
07:09Styles, shoulder block.
07:13And then A.J. gave him a little two-piece talk after Will.
07:17Leap-frog by Logan Paul.
07:19Turns around into a dropkick by Styles.
07:21The veteran has Logan a bit out of sorts in the early going.
07:24A.J. is just waiting on him here.
07:26A.J. is three steps ahead of Logan Paul at this point.
07:29Remember, we talked a little earlier about how you're supposed to be coming up the hard way,
07:33paying your dues, earning it the old-fashioned way.
07:36A.J. did all of that, and it must be vexing to him.
07:41But somebody who didn't have to do any of that is essentially as equal here at WrestleMania.
07:45Wait, I don't know if you noticed.
07:46I don't know if we caught it on camera.
07:47And A.J. Styles now using the apron to his advantage.
07:50This is all Fit Fiddly move.
07:52Tie up your opponent in the apron, blind him, and attack him.
07:56And that's what Styles is doing here.
07:58It was a veteran trick from Styles.
08:00You noticed he was favoring that ribcage.
08:02You were simply playing Possum, baiting the less experienced Paul into it,
08:07and then catching him with that apron trick.
08:09You talk about that long road to the top that A.J. took.
08:11You learn a lot of tricks.
08:12Oh, what a big.
08:14In that long road.
08:16That'll cave in your orbital bone, Logan Paul.
08:18Look, I know Logan Paul's been in some boxing fights in his time.
08:21He's never been struck quite like that before.
08:24Those are the things that Logan Paul is experiencing for the first time.
08:28Every time.
08:29A.J. Styles has done all of these things hundreds if not thousands of times.
08:34There's new stuff being presented to Logan Paul on the biggest stage on a regular basis.
08:39And Paul drives Styles, ribs first into the barricade.
08:43And if experience is a weakness for Logan Paul, resiliency is a massive strength.
08:48We've seen it time and time again against the likes of Roman Reigns.
08:51He's very difficult to keep down.
08:54A.J. Reversal sends Paul now into the barricade.
08:57He also has an unflappable confidence in himself.
09:02Might be because he's so humble.
09:04Might be because he's from Ohio.
09:07Might be because he has had success at everything he's ever done.
09:12Yeah, Logan Paul does not know how to fail.
09:15As Logan has bounced face first off the apron by Styles.
09:18Referee Jessica Carr in control of this matchup tonight.
09:22A partisan crowd here completely backing the phenomenal one.
09:27And Logan Paul, great move.
09:29Stepped out of harm's way.
09:30Sends A.J.
09:32Into the post.
09:34And I've never seen a man.
09:35Into the other side.
09:37A whip into the post by Paul with authority.
09:41He might have dislocated his shoulder right there.
09:44Just smart there from Logan Paul using what was available.
09:47I've never seen a man so resilient and impervious to negative energy
09:51being thrown his way from a massive audience like we have here today.
09:56It's almost like fuel to Logan Paul.
09:58I was going to say, he feeds off it.
10:00Music to his ears.
10:01He was born and raised on the internet.
10:03There's not a lot of positive things said on there.
10:05If you can't handle a couple of boos or some negative comments, you'll never make it on
10:10the internet.
10:11Up on the top and launches himself.
10:14And A.J.
10:15Styles and Paul is pumped up here.
10:18That athleticism, you see, just springboard crossbody to the outside with ease.
10:23With ease.
10:24No problems at all.
10:25Not tired.
10:26Not even sweating.
10:26Well, look, A.J.
10:29Styles is a man at times grappling with his own career mortality.
10:34Logan bouncing Styles off the Spanish-announced table.
10:38A.J.
10:39Who?
10:40His last name Styles.
10:42Sends A.J.
10:43off the apron of the ring.
10:44Styles knows the sands of time are running out on his own career, and he has to make every
10:49grain count.
10:50He badly needs a victory here tonight.
10:52Great move by Paul to roll back into the ring and break the cap.
10:56I believe he's eyeballing his drone that he caught earlier today.
11:00Yeah, he literally caught that out of the air.
11:01Like a pet, he's been hanging this thing around.
11:03Oh, look at, look at, we got a shot for the drone now.
11:07Well, you know this is going on social media.
11:11Oh, he got hit by that, Wade.
11:13It's got a nice breeze to it.
11:14It does.
11:15Buzz the tire a little bit there, drone friend.
11:17And now, look at this.
11:18Logan Paul now.
11:20Using the apron to his advantage.
11:22And that's the aptitude we've talked about with Logan Paul.
11:25He's a quick learner.
11:26He never makes the same mistake twice, and he turns A.J.'s offense around on him.
11:30He's also competing against the very best.
11:33Every time you see Logan Paul in WWE and learns the best tricks from all of them, absorbs them
11:39into his own movesets.
11:41And here we come now.
11:42Paul, top rope.
11:43A.J. in trouble.
11:45The Paul from brace.
11:47Connecting.
11:48Cover.
11:48For the win, Styles kicks out.
11:51It genuinely felt like Logan Paul just found out that you're allowed to use the apron on the side.
11:57Logan Paul is just as natural a high flyer as you will ever see.
12:01He'd go air to air with the best, including A.J. Styles.
12:06Beautiful hand time and execution there.
12:08Yeah.
12:09And Styles is in trouble now.
12:10The Paul American hitting the Paul from grace.
12:12Logan Paul rolling.
12:14I like that, Paul American.
12:16That's the name of their show on Max, currently available.
12:18But I like that as describing him as we send A.J. across the ring into the corner.
12:23And this is that flip side of Logan Paul from the entertainer to the bully and the thug in the blink of an eye.
12:32He understands what it takes to be great in this business.
12:35He wants to be great at this business.
12:37There's a time to perform.
12:38There's a time.
12:39Oh, the overbomb.
12:40The overbomb by Paul.
12:42For the win.
12:43Hooks the leg.
12:44Styles just grabbed the bottom rope.
12:46Yeah, and any time you can't kick out because you're so beat up, you have to reach for the bottom rope.
12:51You win dire straight.
12:53That was so well executed by Paul once again.
12:56The face of Styles bouncing off the mat.
13:01Uh-oh.
13:03Logan Paul is asking for a little noise.
13:07This is a good get him any cheers.
13:09Brother.
13:10Brother.
13:16And a big boost.
13:22Oh, yeah.
13:23Once in the ear, big food.
13:24And dropping the big leg.
13:27Cover.
13:28And a kick out.
13:29Only Ty Smith could do it better.
13:31Yeah, that was more of a taunt than anything towards A.J. Styles.
13:35Didn't even get a two count.
13:37It just goes to show the kind of dominance Paul is showing here.
13:40And now some jabs coming from Logan Paul.
13:42That boxing background you guys talked about earlier on.
13:45This is one of the biggest punches we have seen in WWE, but getting a little too cocky.
13:49And now woken up something inside A.J. Styles.
13:52Yeah, Styles gonna take the fight to Paul.
13:56Well, there was nothing cute about that from Styles.
13:58Simply muscled Logan Paul back to the corner and let him up.
14:03Logan, second rope.
14:05Insult.
14:05A.J. taken out.
14:06Cover now for the win.
14:08Kick out at two.
14:09A.J. tried to catch Logan Paul in midair, but too much has been taken out of the phenomenal one already.
14:15Who looks at this point like he's running off fumes.
14:19Smooth move by Logan to turn that into a pin.
14:22Almost stole the win right there.
14:27That really stole.
14:29Salt knocked the Styles a bit out of source.
14:31The moon pulp.
14:32Oh, kidney shot there for Logan Paul.
14:39Uppercuts.
14:39Uppercuts.
14:40Couple uppercuts now by Paul.
14:41Just shows the range of off-heads that Logan Paul has available to him.
14:46And Styles has no answer to any of this.
14:48Logan Paul's biggest asset has always been that surprise factor.
14:57The cat came out of the bag a long time ago.
14:59Nobody should be shocked about this performance from Logan Paul.
15:03When are we going to accept?
15:04He ain't a newcomer.
15:05He ain't an outsider.
15:07He is the real deal.
15:08And he's doing it under the brightest spotlight of them all.
15:11And he continues to evolve each and every time out.
15:15He's not scared to take his time and celebrate himself, though.
15:18And that might be the kryptonite.
15:20The biggest stages.
15:23Paul has shined.
15:24AJ Styles stops himself.
15:27AJ now picking up the intensity.
15:30Logan Paul doesn't realize that Styles did not go into the corner.
15:35And he will now.
15:36As AJ unloads on the clothesline.
15:38And here comes Styles.
15:39And a phenomenal one.
15:41Representing an entire industry in a lot of people's eyes.
15:48Styles with Logan Paul up on his shoulders.
15:51That's Vintage Styles there.
15:53Knee right to the back of the neck.
15:54This is a different Styles to the one we've seen over the past 25 years.
15:59He's packed a hell of a lot of muscle on that frame.
16:02And he's using it to full effect now powering Logan Paul around.
16:06Earlier today, he's got to keep up with the kids.
16:09He's very jacked.
16:11And at this moment, he needs to end this.
16:14AJ into the corner.
16:15Don't let Logan Paul get a second win.
16:17Starting to pick up his offense now.
16:19Beat him down, AJ Styles, if you want to win.
16:21Styles vertical suplex drops it right on the back of his head.
16:24Let's do a brain buster on that one.
16:26Cover now.
16:27One, two, three.
16:28And a kick out by Paul in two.
16:34Both these men have to figure out what the hell they have left.
16:37Vertical suplex into the brain buster.
16:39Dropped him right on the back of his head.
16:41You really feel like Logan Paul slipped on a banana peel here.
16:45Just getting too braggadocious.
16:47Absorbing too much spotlight.
16:49And you can't do that against an AJ Styles.
16:53It didn't feel like the right time to take a victory lap.
16:55And AJ Styles has made him pay for it.
16:58What's he thinking now?
16:59Looking for the Styles clash to put Logan Paul away.
17:03Logolo able to turn it around.
17:06Close to a low blow there from Paul.
17:08AJ lands on his feet into the corner.
17:11Logan Paul got a bit of a zealous.
17:13Ran into the boot from Styles.
17:15He's trying to set up the Paul Verizon there.
17:18Logan Paul is the one who's really slowing down and in the drop zone.
17:22And Logan Paul caught AJ.
17:25AJ was going for the phenomenal forearm.
17:28And Logan Paul caught him.
17:31And a rolling senton by Paul.
17:35Oh, no way.
17:37That was three quarters of the ring.
17:39And a kick out by Styles.
17:41That was incredible.
17:42Oh, my God.
17:43That was about the longest lion's soul I've ever seen.
17:46I saw how far AJ was away.
17:48He can't possibly be trying this, can he?
17:50Oh, yeah, he can.
17:52That's what the Maverick does.
17:53He shoves.
17:54He oars.
17:55And ultimately, he's back in control.
17:58He's an absolutely incredible athlete.
18:01We're sold out tonight.
18:02He's over 60,000 yet again at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for WrestleMania Sunday.
18:09God, when you can pull out stuff like that, that truly is a cheat code to the very top of the industry.
18:15Proof positive of why Logan Paul is right here.
18:18There's an audible in the middle of the match.
18:20Let me do a three-quarter move.
18:21Who is this?
18:22I don't know.
18:23Again, here's what Logan can't do.
18:27Can't keep getting caught up and celebrating himself.
18:30Well, because you're going to get caught at some point by Styles.
18:32Yeah, but he's going to do a lot of great things.
18:34You can't celebrate everything, Logan.
18:35You've got to keep him moving.
18:38Another well-placed elbow by Styles.
18:41Backflip off of Logan Paul.
18:42Oh, and a kick by AJ in another one.
18:54Point of the spine there.
18:56Toe to the spine.
18:58No protection, but somehow Paul fighting back.
19:02And bounces AJ off the turnbuckle.
19:04Oh, look, we're at the point in the match now where it's crucial.
19:07What is driving you?
19:08Both men in agony.
19:09And look at that.
19:11That clothesline cover.
19:13Hook of the leg now by Styles.
19:15The slingshot clothesline.
19:17Lariat almost put Styles away.
19:21A man driven by fame against a man driven by passion.
19:26And right now is the man who wants the spotlight the most.
19:30Logan Paul.
19:32Who's looking like he's closing in on victory.
19:34Pat, you know better than anyone what a winner at WrestleMania does for your brand.
19:38Absolutely.
19:39And let alone Logan Paul's brand.
19:40It's already on top of the world.
19:42Prime.
19:42Everything else he's done.
19:44Buckshot Lariat, though, in the middle of WrestleMania.
19:46And AJ Styles.
19:47That could have been it.
19:48That should have been it.
19:49Logan Paul's playing his greatest hits right now.
19:51And AJ Styles is still in this match.
19:55Titanium loaded right hand.
19:58One of the biggest punches in the history of our game.
20:01And he's lining it up on the phenomenal one.
20:04As that played in the right hand from a prior injury.
20:06Has used it to his advantage.
20:08Styles ducks underneath.
20:11AJ Styles.
20:13And Logan Paul up top.
20:16Down goes.
20:17Logan Paul.
20:19Styles.
20:19Cover.
20:20Is it enough?
20:21Near fall for AJ.
20:26Just like that, the experience of AJ Styles almost puts Logan Paul on his back for Duke.
20:33At this point, you've got to be wondering, who has more gas left in the tank?
20:43It's not only that.
20:44It's also who has the deepest playbook.
20:46And you have to give the advantage there to the phenomenal one in his 25-plus years of experience.
20:52Who has the move?
20:56Who has the power to put this away?
20:59Who's walking out of WrestleMania?
21:01A winner.
21:03Logan Paul has barely moved for the past one minute.
21:05Styles off the top.
21:10Rob caught.
21:11Got caught by Paul, who got his knees up and Logan had an opportunity.
21:15Veteran got baited in there and now he's going to pay the price.
21:19Oh, look at this.
21:20Logan Paul.
21:21Logan Paul going to pull one out of AJ Styles' playbook.
21:25The ultimate insult.
21:27With a Styles clash!
21:30Paul!
21:31AJ able to roll through though.
21:33And AJ Styles now.
21:35Going to turn things around into a Styles clash of his own!
21:41AJ said, you think you're going to do that to me without an answer?
21:45Yeah, right!
21:48What a...
21:49Oh, look at this idiot.
21:50That's that Jeff fool.
21:52One of Logan Paul's entourage.
21:54He always seems to be getting involved in this match-up.
21:57This damn Jeff!
21:59This is what you call plan B for Logan Paul.
22:02Plan A wasn't working.
22:04Snaking around this damn Jeff.
22:06Oh, wait a minute.
22:07He's got brass knuckles, but...
22:09Karrion Kross!
22:11That's got Jeff!
22:15Do it to him, Karrion.
22:17Break Jeff in half.
22:20And now AJ Styles.
22:21Gonna send Jeff.
22:22Toward the barricade.
22:26Jeff just saw his light flash before his eyes.
22:28And he told this story on Monday.
22:33Please, Alan.
22:34Listen to me.
22:35Please.
22:36Just put it on.
22:37Please, Alan.
22:38Please.
22:38Please just put it on.
22:40It's not about me and you.
22:41It's about everything.
22:42Please.
22:43Put it on.
22:43And blast him.
22:45Blast him.
22:46Please.
