Logan Paul shares his thoughts on the botched spot that generated plenty of buzz at WWE Money in the Bank.
At the premium live event on July 1, Paul competed in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Many fans expected Paul to win the bout, but Damian Priest walked away with the briefcase instead. That being said, “The Maverick” was still involved in an eye-opening moment; Ricochet went for a Spanish Fly when the two of them were on the ropes, and both men crashed through a table at ringside.
On the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast, Paul shared his thoughts on the move and explained what went wrong. He also stated that he was fine, aside from a few minor scrapes. (H/t Fightful for the transcription)
“There was a botched move with a dangerous landing. I walked away this time relatively unscathed. I got some scrapes and bruises, but no major tweaks or pulls. But Ricochet and I were supposed to do what’s called a Spanish fly off the top rope. So one of our legs is on the rope, one of our legs is on the ladder, and we are supposed to hit it at the same time. When he hit that rope, it was before me. So he moved it, so I slipped down, all the way to the bottom. Keep in mind, I’m a noob, I don’t really know what I’m doing out there. So when stuff goes wrong, I don’t really know how to improv.
“In my head, I’m like, ‘This is f—ed. We f—ed this up. How is this gonna do this? Is he even gonna do this?’ Our legs are all twisted like this. I’m looking at him like, ‘Oh, this motherf—er is still trying to send this sh-t.’ I’m not even ready, his feet aren’t even planted off the second rope, just hucks a backup. I’m like, alright. Went crashing through the tables, scraped my shoulder, I hit my head on the thing. I’m fine, no concussions or anything. It’s just a wild sport. I don’t know what I’m doing.”
On the July 3 episode of WWE RAW, WWE played a clip of Paul and Ricochet brawling backstage after the Money in the Bank match. Paul commented on the brawl by noting that Ricochet “blew” the match for him.
“I’m gonna be honest, he blew the f—ing match for me. That’s why we got into it backstage. I got into a little tussle with him. I felt like he was a little unprofessional.”
Following the brawl, Ricochet was interviewed on WWE RAW and challenged Logan Paul to meet him in a face-to-face confrontation on the July 10 episode. More information is available here.
