Logan Paul, known for his outspoken nature, brought his trademark bravado to this week’s Raw. He arrived to confront his Elimination Chamber opponent, CM Punk, but couldn’t resist taking a jab at the Cincinnati crowd. Before facing The Best in the World, The Maverick subtly mocked the city by referencing Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Social Media Megastar claimed that the people of Cincinnati have no idea how to appreciate true talent. He compared it to the way the Cincinnati Bengals treat Burrow, despite his immense skill as a quarterback. This remark from the 29-year-old immediately drew heat from the crowd at the Heritage Bank Center.

You guys waste talent, look what you did to Joe Burrow.

Paul also found himself in a heated exchange with fan-favorite CM Punk, showing zero hesitation in disrespecting The Best in the World—even going as far as slapping the veteran. With that bold attitude, The Maverick made it clear he’s confident about walking out of the Elimination Chamber victorious this Saturday.

Furthermore, Paul is no stranger to controversy, and his recent Bengals comment is just the latest in a long list of incidents. Last week, he claimed he was banned from Egypt for undisclosed reasons, and before that, he made headlines for smashing a fan’s camera during his entrance. With so much heat surrounding him, Paul seems to be on the verge of becoming the biggest heel in the business.

Logan Paul confronted AJ Styles on Raw last night

AJ Styles was involved in a heated confrontation with Logan Paul last night on Raw. The Maverick bumped into the former WWE Champion with some bold words, disrespecting Styles ahead of the Elimination Chamber. The segment hinted that WWE is brewing something between the two stars on the road to WrestleMania.

​During the interaction, Paul reminded Styles that he was the one who eliminated him at the Royal Rumble. In return, The Phenomenal One also told the YouTuber to try his luck once again. Although the 29-year-old passed the challenge, it clearly hinted that there is some unfinished business between the two.

Just a week ahead of the Elimination Chamber, WWE particularly gave a slot to this backstage interaction. It could be a sign that WWE wants the fans to notice that there is some heat between Styles and Paul. Besides, it happening, especially on the road to WrestleMania, means that this could be one of the high-profile feuds WWE is carving for Mania this year.
