Logan Paul’s cheap shot at Taylor Swift during WWE’s Elimination Chamber press conference in Perth infuriated the crowd.
Optus Stadium, which can hold 61,000 spectators, will host WWE’s next major premium live event on Saturday in Western Australia.
Entering the chamber match for the first time, Paul is the United States champion.
At the WrestleMania event, the Maverick will face Seth Rollins for the WWE world heavyweight championship. He will also face Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, and Kevin Owens.
To discredit the people of Perth, Paul utilized his presence at the WWE press conference conducted in advance of Saturday’s show to pander to fans.
He talked about Taylor Swift’s tour, which included concerts in Sydney instead of Perth, and called Perth a “dump” in “the middle of the ocean”.
Paul further declared that he would ensure that WWE never returned to Perth.
Paul remarked, “Oh, y’all going to yell at me huh?” after entering. Are you going to make me feel bad? Did you get booed after 30 hours of flying?
“All right, we can go in that direction if that’s where you want to go.
“Well, this is WWE’s first visit to Perth, and I want to make sure it’s the last.”
Guys, this place is bad. I told them we should have gone to Sydney instead of Perth when they indicated we were coming there.
Even Taylor Swift left this trash and traveled to Sydney.
“I mean, if you search for the top ten tourist activities in Perth on Google, seeing an island populated by rats comes up at number one. Not all that dissimilar from you folks, huh? Whoa.
We are truly located in a remote area. in the ocean’s center. I would much prefer to be marooned in the middle of the sea, I swear.”
Paul’s career is still young, having only played 11 games, yet he has left a lasting impression.
And he promised to defeat Rollins, his erstwhile foe, in a champion vs champion match after winning the Elimination Chamber.
“Don’t be mad at me, guys; this place sucks,” he said. I’ll tell you a few interesting facts. Going to add a little excitement to your dull existence in Australia. I am the sole champion competing in tomorrow’s Elimination Chamber. I apologize to the older men, but I am the youngest opponent in tomorrow’s Elimination Chamber by ten years. You are all going to be swept away by the new era.
Don’t get me wrong, Perth, but the only reason I’m here is necessity. The Elimination Chamber will be won by me. At WrestleMania, I will face Seth Rollins again. And I’ll win two championships.
“Thus, Perth, think of yourselves as Logan Paul’s springboard.”
Then, as tempers erupted, Triple H and Orton had to break up Paul’s altercation with Owens.
