It appears Logan Paul has won over WWE fans. 

The YouTuber-turned-wrestler completed his first one-on-one match at SummerSlam 2022. The event went down at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday, nearly four months after Paul made his WWE debut at WrestleMania 38. During his initial appearance, Paul joined forces with The Miz to take on Rey and Dominik Mysterio; however, this week’s match saw him going head-to-head with his former teammate.

The 27-year-old entered the ring to the sound of boos, which quickly turned into raucous cheers as he deftly executed a series of crowd-pleasing stunts. We’re talking a figure four leg-lock, the It-Kicks, a Phenomenal Forearm, and an insane frog splash from the top rope to the announce table. Paul ultimately secured the win by using the Miz’s signature finisher, the Skull Crushing Finale

Aye man, Logan Paul is a natural heel but he has everyone eating out of the palm of his hand after that match. #SummerSlam

I'm not a big Logan Paul fan in general, but I absolutely cannot take away that he put out a great performance tonight. He's working his ass off to be good. My hat is off to The Miz as well. He kept Paul together and took some stiff shots along the way. Good match. #SummerSlam

Logan Paul may be the best in ring, technically sound celebrity that WWE has ever had. He looked incredible in there with the Miz.

That may have been the best celebrity performance of ALL TIME#Summerslam

That was a hell of a first singles match for Logan Paul. The tag team match at Mania was one thing, but this was even more impressive. #Summerslam
