Logan Paul didn’t get to do a whole lot of stuff on the Netflix premiere of Raw. WWE aired a video package for him, and the camera briefly panned to the social media influencer during the show. That appeared to Kevin Nash as if Netflix learned its lesson from the last time Logan was on the OTT platform.
Speaking on ‘Kliq This’, Nash alluded to the sluggish boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson that was marred by incessant buffering. And the WWE Hall of Famer indirectly held The Maverick accountable for that debacle. Big Daddy Cool believes that the Netflix higher-ups subtly snubbed Logan on Raw as he was associated with the Jake vs. Tyson bout.
Kevin’s jibe at the IMPAULSIVE host didn’t end there. The 65-year-old retired wrestler hilariously claimed that if anyone were to tell Logan about this, it’s from the same guy whom Paul didn’t recognize previously. For the unversed, the former NWO member is referring to their heated exchange from September last year.
If the best guy you have is Logan Paul, where was he? Is it the fact that you don’t want that association from the Tyson [fight]? Last time we saw him on Netflix, it was f**king buffering.

Nash took offense to Logan’s ignorance of elementary wrestling parlance. He even doubled down on the reported WWE payday of $5 million that the social media icon is cashing just for a handful amount of dates. Kevin blasted Paul’s online followers too. But it didn’t take long for The Maverick to hit back at him.
The boxer-turned-wrestler affirmed that the old guys like Kevin Nash hold grudges against him because he’s better at his job than Nash ever was. Logan vowed to make Kevin eat his own words once he devoted more time to WWE. And seems like it’s about to happen. In the aforementioned hype teaser for Paul that aired on Raw, he said he’s now a 100% WWE Superstar.
WWE has fascinating plans for Logan Paul going forward
It was back in August at SummerSlam where Logan Paul last wrestled for WWE. In a forgettable outing for him, the 29-year-old lost his US title to LA Knight. As things stand, the YouTuber has been moved to Raw.
Without much of a surprise, the company has big plans for him. As per a recent report from PWInsider, the creative team has discussed having Logan as Gunther‘s opponent for the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 41. However, with over four months to go till then, nothing is set in stone.
At one point, there was some chatter about Paul taking on John Cena in the latter’s last-ever Mania match. However, it was quickly shot down within the company by some execs at the top. WWE was also interested in doing a segment featuring Logan Paul and Mike Tyson.
