Logan Paul Addresses Recent Criticism by Ronda Rousey, Doesn’t Think She’s a Hater

– As noted, Ronda Rousey recently made comments on Steve-O’s Wild Ride commenting on Logan Paul’s work in WWE. Rousey noted that she wished she was allowed to get the same time to rehearse that Logan Paul receives in WWE. During a recent edition of BS w/ Jake Paul, Paul spoke to his brother about Rousey’s recent criticism. Below are some highlights (via MMAFighting):

Logan Paul on Rousey’s recent comments: “I want to approach this from a real mature standpoint because I like Ronda Rousey. What she’s done in MMA is incredible. We watched her growing up just snapping arms. I have a lot of respect for Ronda Rousey. Every time I’ve met her it’s been very amicable, so when she’s saying that I don’t think it’s like a personal attack on me by any means. I don’t feel she’s coming after me. I feel she’s maybe using me as an example to express her dissatisfaction with how she was treated in the WWE. But I can’t speak on that because I don’t know how she was treated.”

On his belief that Rousey isn’t a hater: “I don’t think she’s a hater. I think she might be unhappy with how her run in the WWE went, but I don’t know anything really about that. All I know is how I work in the facilities and time that I’ve been given to make my matches as best as possible, because I think the WWE recognizes that when I put on a good match, which will happen every single time I perform, the outcome and the reaction of the fans is immense. It fills the audience and I think I’ve proven my value both in and out of the ring, on the mic, wrestling. The impressions that I’m delivering the company are second to none.”

On how he trained when he first got started with WWE: “When I first started, for sure they were holding my hand. I didn’t go to the [WWE Performance Center] and do professional wrestling like a lot of my peers. My only practice and time to learn how to be a professional wrestler was when we were building the match. Now, I’m working with guys who don’t always feel like spending that much time on it. Although it might be helpful for me, I want to be a good colleague.”

On his ability to learn and execute matches: “I wrestled a SmackDown once, it was my first television match, and I learned it in a week. We took a collective four hours to do it. I can do it, obviously, and I’m going to do it, but my ability to learn matches, build them, put them together, understand them, and then execute them, is getting better, but the time that I need is getting shorter. I think WWE recognizes that their investment in making sure I do have the time to put the best matches on is paying off.”

Earlier this month at WrestleMania 40: Night 2, Logan Paul successfully defended his WWE US Title against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens in a Triple Threat Match.
