Logan Paul addresses AJ Styles

Logan Paul makes his entrance. As he does, he rips the shirt off a “fan” who was berating him. Paul gets in the ring and says, “Madison Square Garden!” The crowd boos him. Paul tries to speak, but the crowd loudly boos him down. Paul reiterates who he is and compares himself to The Rock and John Cena as names that have transcended sports and entertainment. They will do anything it takes to get to the top.

The crowd chants, “You suck.” Paul cannot believe Cody Rhodes was dumb enough to reject The Rock’s offer. It took John Cena twenty years to realize that nice guys finish last. Paul has known that since day one. That’s why Paul wants to let The Rock know his soul is for sale. He doesn’t run away from opportunities when they present themselves. That’s why he’s in the ring in Madison Square Garden. The “reggies” are watching from the stands and at home on television. He is a celebrity.

That’s why guys like Andrew Schulz come to see him. Talent recognizes talent. Paul wants to give Schulz a microphone. Paul tells Schulz to let the people know why he came to MSG. Schulz says he’s here to see the Steel Cage Match. Paul is not happy. Paul asks WHO he came to see. Schulz says, “Logan, nobody is here to see you.” The crowd roars. Schulz says he’s not in Cleveland. This is New York City, a real city and a real arena. They like real wrestlers. Schulz knows who he wants to see. Schulz wants to see AJ Styles.

Styles gets on the apron and connects with a Phenomenal Forearm. The crowd chants for Styles. Styles grabs a microphone as Paul holds his jaw at ringside. The WrestleMania sign hangs ominously in the background. Styles tells Paul to get in the ring because he’s not done with him. Paul starts to walk off. Styles mentions that Paul claims to not run away from opportunities. Paul keeps walking away. Styles shouts that this is New York City. Styles holds Andrew Schulz’s arm up, and they celebrate in the ring. Paul turns and looks at the ring but doesn’t get back in.
