2. Post-Match Reflection: Mission Accomplished
In his YouTube vlog “The Hardest Match Of My Life,” Paul reiterated those sentiments. This wasn’t just a match; it was a statement.
“I wanted a match with John Cena to prove that I not only belong in the business… Mission accomplished.”
3. A Clear Call to Action: Logan Paul Is Here to Work
It wasn’t a consolation speech; it was a proclamation.
“I’m leaving Paris more motivated now than ever… To the WWE audience, to Triple H, I’m ready to fucking work. Put me in, coach… If you hate me, I’m not going anywhere.”
