Logan Paul has only gone and amazed the wrestling world once again.
The internet sensation’s transition to WWE wrestler has been nothing short of spectacular, and his outing against Roman Reigns on the weekend was no different.
The new WWE superstar locked horns with the Tribal Chief for the WWE Championship at the promotions’ Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.
And just as he did at SummerSlam, Logan Paul planned to have the WWE fans talking about his performance way after the matchup.
The 27-year-old was ultimately unsuccessful in challenging for the title, however, he succeeded in leaving fans in awe.

Wrestling fans will remember his outrageous frog splash through The Miz and through the announcement table - and he planned on doing it all again.
This time it was Roman Reigns laying out on the table as Paul climbed the ropes and planned to soar through the air.
Only this time, Paul wanted to up the ante, and in typical influencer fashion decided to take a selfie video of his leap.
He panned out to the crowd going nuts as he stood on the top rope.
He then yelled to his opponent: “Sorry, this is what you wanted. You're going viral, Roman.”
He then took a deep breath and channelled his inner Eddie Guerrero as slow-mo footage showed him travelling majestically through the air.
However, the video was only beautiful for a moment before Paul crashed into Roman and through the table with a huge thud.
The clip ended with Logan wreathing in pain, however, still managing to keep hold of his phone.
Seriously impressive.
And the WWE world was also in awe.
Wrestling reporter Sam Roberts tweeted: “NGL - this is some of the best video I’ve ever seen.”
True Geordie said: “When I met this dude he said he wanted a career similar to The Rock. He’s not doing badly, what an EPIC moment!”
Former WWE superstar The Hurrican wrote: “Table on Table crime! You killed it tonight young man. Be Proud.”
Whilst UK WWE podcast Gorilla Position tweeted: “Cool AF. Say what you want about Logan Paul but he’s a phenomenal talent. He’s bringing new eyeballs to WWE and, as evidenced in this video, he’s doing things very, very differently, without fear or apology. Love it.”
Beyond the frog splash, Paul seriously impressed in his 25-minute matchup against the WWE champion.
However, he later revealed that he had suffered a serious knee injury mid-way through.
Paul suffered a torn meniscus, MCL, and potentially ACL but still managed to finish the match.
Truly a gutsy effort.
