Pro wrestling is all about what’s best for business. What draws more eyeballs to the product needs to be pushed on television. And that’s exactly what Matt Hardy thinks about Logan Paul’s spot in the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Last week on Raw, The Maverick announced that he received an invitation to compete in London, which he gleefully accepted.
Fans on social media have debunked WWE’s favoritism towards celebrity part-timers over their full-time roster. Speaking on his Extreme Life podcast, Matt Hardy emphasized how things like these happen in the business-minded space of professional wrestling. Coming to what Paul brings to the table with himself, Matt gloated about his undeniable fan following.
Logan Paul’s participation in the MITB ladder match adds a surprising element to it. Matt Hardy highlighted how fans love to see Logan get beaten up. Hardy, therefore, said that putting him in situations like those where the crowd reaction is bound to multiply itself only adds to the magic of this business. Furthermore, the Maverick will surely create some awe-inspiring moments during that ladder match.
The WWE veteran said,“I mean, it’s business. It happens. “It’s good for business, and they usually do what’s best for business.” Matt Hardy further added, “When the point was raised that Paul not only brings his own fanbase to the WWE, but also people that don’t like him and want to see him battered, Hardy chuckled. “It’s part of the magic of pro wrestling.”
Logan Paul set to appear on SmackDown this week
The YouTube star Logan Paul will be a guest on The Grayson Waller Effect on SmackDown this week. Therefore, fans are on the edge of their seats to witness the two stars in the ring. Both men are bonafide heels and are surely going to add to the ire of a vociferous London crowd at the O2 arena.
Notably, it’s almost certain that WWE will look to hype the men’s ladder match one final time during this segment. Hence, the fans can expect all the match participants to interrupt the segment after Logan and Grayson are be done talking. The sold-out arena would also be waiting for LA Knight to come out and once again verbally dissect his competitors
As per the betting odds, LA Knight is still listed as the favorite to retrieve that briefcase this Saturday. However, with Vince McMahon influencing things, everything can change within the blink of an eye. The WWE Universe is clamoring for Knight to have his breakthrough moment in London. Many people backstage are pushing for the same.
