Seth Rollins SLAMS Logan Paul in Instagram rant with the pair set for WrestleMania showdown

Seth Rollins has slammed social media star Logan Paul amid rumours the pair are set to face each other at this year’s WrestleMania. 

Paul returned to WWE as a surprise entrant in last weekend’s Royal Rumble event, clashing with Rollin during the match and eventually eliminating the from the bout – fuelling speculation that a programme between the two is now planned for April’s showpiece. 

Rollins has now taken to social media and vented about Paul during an Instagram live video, where he told the 27-year-old influencer he doesn’t like him and accused him of just wanting the spotlight rather than wanting to be a ‘wrestler’. 

‘All I know is I don’t like Logan Paul.’ Rollins stated. 

‘A lot of us really don’t. I don’t really need him in my locker room, in my space. The guy is ultra-talented as far as athletic ability is concerned.

Paul made a surprise return at the Royal Rumble and eliminated Rollins from the match 

He snuck up on me at the Rumble, dumped me, fine, whatever. I took my eyes off the ball — that’s on me. But don’t go bragging about it like you did something otherwordly.

It’s probably the coolest thing he’s done in life, but I just advise him to stay in his lane. He’s a freak… no doubt… but at the end of the day, he’s not a wrestler, you know? He just wants to be famous.’ 

In a rant that was interestingly more focussed and more stripped back than the Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins we see on WWE TV, the multi-time world champion went on to warn Paul to ‘stay in his lane’, because if he doesn’t Rollins threatened to ‘knock him out.’ 

Completing his roast on Paul he said: ‘He doesn’t care about the industry. He’s not a wrestler, so he should stay in his lane. If buying counterfeit Pokémon cards is your lane, stay in that lane. If you come knocking on my door, I will knock you out.

‘And you don’t have your brother for backup, because he’s gonna get cooked by this dude in a couple of weeks – so he won’t be around. 

‘At some point we’re going to have to come face-to-face and I don’t think he wants none.’ 

Rollins’ rant comes a week after he hit out at former WWE star CM Punk when asked about any possible return to the company. ‘The Visionary’ told Punk to stay away and called him a ‘cancer’.  

Paul has already successfully transitioned into WWE since his debut bout at WrestleMania last year. As part of the 2022 event he teamed with The Miz in an impressive losing defeating Dominik and Rey Mysterio. 

He then went on to beat The Miz as SummerSlam in August before going toe-to-toe with WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel last September. 

A meeting with Rollins at WrestleMania in LA would add another high-profile match to a card that already boasts Reigns taking on Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes and the SmackDown Women’s Championship match between champion Charlotte Flair defending against Rhea Ripley.
