After a massive and intriguing build-up before the men’s Money in the Bank match, The Maverick, Logan Paul entered the fixture, making an astounding entrance. However, again, the controversial superstar caught attention for all the wrong reasons.
As he was making his way towards the ring, the ring announced the YouTuber as a Puerto Rico native. However, the social media sensation originally hails from Ohio, United States of America. Thus, as soon as the announcement was done, the fans stormed social media with criticism and also called it ‘disgusting’.
“Dear WWE, Please stop announcing Logan Paul as “from Puerto Rico” I get he lives there but we don’t want him there. Sincerely, Puerto Ricans everywhere.” A user tweeted.
Dear WWE,
Please stop announcing Logan Paul as “from Puerto Rico” I get he lives there but we don’t want him there.
Sincerely,
Puerto Ricans everywhere #WWEMITB

Here are a few more reactions.
Logan Paul now lives in Puerto Rico. I guess it’s easier to scam fans out of their money there. #MITB

Fans also called out the Social media sensation for the Cryptozoo refund that has been the talk of the town recently. Talking about the match, Logan Paul was the very first target. All the other superstars started beating Paul as soon as the match got underway.
Nevertheless, during the match, Paul and Damian Priest were also seen teaming up on a couple of occasions which made the pro wrestling zealots suspicious of a possible future match between Bad Bunny and the new Puerto Rico native, Logan Paul.

The men’s Money in the Bank match was full of fire as all the participants in the match had the caliber of winning the prestigious contract. However, LA Knight and Logan Paul were the names that were topping the lists of predictions.
Paul was the first superstar who was sidelined in the match. Thus, after getting him out, a massive brawl between all the other wrestlers broke out. Butch was portraying his ruthlessness by jumping off the ladders and twisting the fingers of others with a home advantage. On the other hand, Damian Priest and LA Knight were also not ready to show any sort of mercy.

Thus, as the ladder was set in the middle of the ring, Logan Paul and Ricochet were disturbed by LA Knight after he took down Priest from the top. However, as he was close to unhooking the briefcase, the Judgement Day member managed to climb the ladder on time and throw LA Knight down to win the contract and proving the words of Finn Balor right.
