00:00He has taken over, now he's gotta take on a man who's been around the world and
00:06back in this professional wrestling world, the phenomenal one, AJ Scott.
00:13You know, Wade, you talk about the loathing for Logan Paul.
00:17I believe a lot of it has to do with the fact that people are jealous of what
00:21this young man has accomplished so far, and not just his in-ring career, but
00:26in everything he's done in the business world.
00:28There's supposed to be a natural order to success.
00:31You're supposed to pay your dues, come up the hard way, earn it every step of the way.
00:36The problem with Logan Paul is he didn't have to do any of that.
00:39He simply jumped the line and was immediately really good.
00:42You're right, it's jealousy.
00:43Mediocre people love to fall in line.
00:46Greatness likes to get to the top quick.
00:49Logan Paul will bet on himself every time.
00:51And now he's found himself eye to eye with a phenomenal one.
00:55Mediocre people also like to blame others.
00:58Logan Paul blames no one as he locks up with AJ Styles to start this match.
01:04If you're Paul Wade, what's your strategy against the men?
01:07Well, you simply got into the head of AJ Styles already.
01:10You can't match his experience, but you can match his athleticism.
01:14And I don't say that lightly because AJ Styles is just otherworldly athleticism.
01:19Logan Paul is as gifted as they come.
01:23You're not gonna push AJ Styles around though.
01:27But I think Logan Paul is okay with a little bit of a fist fight as well.
01:30This is actually a great matchup.
01:32Well, I'll tell you right now, Logan Paul on several occasions over the past couple of months
01:36has outfoxed and outsmarted AJ Styles.
01:39He's done that because Logan Paul doesn't think the same way as the rest of us.
01:44It's part of why he's had success.
01:45And when Logan Paul thinks differently,
01:48it makes it very difficult to figure out and outmaneuver.
01:52The thing about Logan Paul is he's always developing, always learning.
01:55He knows he's new to the game, but he wants to get to the top as fast as possible.
01:58Tremendous aptitude for WWE as Logan Paul hangs on and says, not quite AJ.
02:04AJ now gonna be launched out to the apron.
02:06Styles with a well placed shoulder to the gut, slides underneath Paul.
02:10AJ very quick and agile, set across the ring.
02:13Styles with a shoulder block.
02:15Stay up, Vince.
02:17And then AJ gave him a little two-piece talk after Will.
02:22Deep draw by Logan Paul, turns around into a drop kick by Styles.
02:26The veteran has Logan a bit out of sorts in the early going.
02:29AJ's just waiting on him here.
02:30Cover him.
02:31AJ's three steps ahead of Logan Paul at this point.
02:34Remember we talked a little earlier about how you're supposed to
02:36be coming up the hard way, paying your dues, earning it the old-fashioned way.
02:40AJ did all of that, and it must be vexing to him.
02:45But somebody who didn't have to do any of that is essentially is equal here at WrestleMania.
02:49Wait, I don't know if you noticed, I don't know if we put it on camera.
02:51And AJ Styles now, using the apron to his advantage.
02:55This is all Fiddly move.
02:57Tie up your opponent in the apron, blind him, and attack him.
03:00And that's what Styles is doing here.
03:02It was the veteran trick from Styles.
03:04You noticed it was favoring that rib cage.
03:06You were simply playing possum, baiting the less experienced Paul into it, and
03:11then catching him with that apron trick.
03:13You talk about that long road to the top that AJ took.
03:16You learn a lot of tricks.
03:17Running knee in that long road.
03:20That'll cave in your orbital bone, Logan Paul.
03:22Look, I know Logan Paul's been in some boxing fights in his time.
03:25He's never been struck quite like that before.
03:28Those are the things that Logan Paul is experiencing for the first time, every time.
03:35AJ Styles has done all of these things hundreds, if not thousands of times.
03:39There's new stuff being presented to Logan Paul on the biggest stage on a regular basis.
03:43And Paul drives Styles, ribs first into the barricade.
03:47And if experience is a weakness for Logan Paul, resiliency is a massive strength.
03:52We've seen it time and time again against the likes of Roman Reigns.
03:56He's very difficult to keep down.
03:58AJ's reversal sends Paul now into the barricade.
04:02He also has an unflappable confidence in himself.
04:07Might be because he's so humble.
04:09Might be because he's from Ohio.
04:11Might be because he has had success at everything he's ever done.
04:16Yeah, Logan Paul does not know how to fail.
04:19As Logan has bounced face first off the apron by Styles.
04:23Referee Jessica Carr in control of this matchup tonight.
04:26A partisan crowd here completely backing the phenomenal one.
04:31And Logan Paul, great move, stepped out of harm's way, sends AJ into the post.
04:38And I've never seen a man- And on the other side.
04:41A whip into the post by Paul with authority.
04:45He might have dislocated his shoulder right there.
04:48Just smart there from Logan Paul using what was available.
04:52I've never seen a man so resilient and impervious to negative energy being thrown
04:57his way from a massive audience like we have here today.
05:01It's almost like fuel to Logan Paul.
05:03I was gonna say he feeds off it.
05:04Music to his ears.
05:05He was born and raised on the internet.
05:07There's not a lot of positive things said on there.
05:10If you can't handle a couple of boos or some negative comments,
05:13you'll never make it on the internet.
05:15Up on the top and launches himself.
05:17And AJ Styles and Paul is pumped up here.
05:22That athleticism you see, just springboard crossbody to the outside with ease.
05:27What?
05:28With ease, no problems at all.
05:29Not tired, not even sweating.
05:31Well look, AJ Styles is a man at times grappling with his own career mortality.
05:39Logan bouncing Styles off the Spanish announced table.
05:42AJ who?
05:44His last name Styles.
05:45Sends AJ off the apron of the ring.
05:48Styles knows the sands of time are running out on his own career and he has to make
05:53every grain count.
05:54He badly needs a victory here tonight.
05:56Great move by Paul to roll back into the ring and break the cap.
06:01I believe he's eyeballing his drone that he caught earlier today.
06:04He literally caught that out of the air.
06:06Like a pet he's been hanging this thing.
06:07Oh, look at, look at, we got a shot from the drone now.
06:11Well, you know this is going on social media.
06:15Oh, he got hit by that, Wade.
06:17It's got a nice breeze to it.
06:19It does.
06:20Buzz the tire a little bit there drone friend.
06:22And now look at this.
06:23Logan Paul now using the entry to his advantage.
06:26And that's the aptitude we've talked about with Logan Paul.
06:29He's a quick learner.
06:31He never makes the same mistake twice and he turns AJ's offense around on him.
06:35He's also competing against the very best.
06:37Every time you see Logan Paul in WWE and learns the best tricks from all of them,
06:43absorbs them into his own movesets.
06:45And here we come now, Paul top rope, AJ in trouble.
06:50The Paul from Brace connecting, cover for the win, Styles kicks out.
06:55It genuinely felt like Logan Paul just found out that you're allowed to use the apron on the side.
07:01Logan Paul is just as natural a high flyer as you will ever see.
07:06He'd go air to air with the best, including AJ Styles.
07:10Beautiful hand time and execution.
07:12Beautiful hand time and execution there.
07:15And Styles is in trouble now.
07:17The Paul American hitting the Paul from Brace.
07:19Logan Paul rolling.
07:20I like that, Paul American.
07:22That's the name of their show on Max, currently available.
07:24And I like that as describing him as we send AJ across the ring into the corner.
07:30This is that flip side of Logan Paul from the entertainer to the bully and
07:36the thug in the blink of an eye.
07:39He understands what it takes to be great in this business.
07:41He wants to be great at this business.
07:44There's a time to perform, there's a time.
07:46The overbomb, the overbomb by Paul for the win, hooks the leg, Styles just grabbed the bottom rope.
07:53Yeah, and any time you can't kick out because you're so beat up, you have to reach for the bottom rope.
07:57You win dire straits.
07:59That was so well executed by Paul once again.
08:02The face of Styles bouncing off the mat.
08:07Uh-oh.
08:10Logan Paul is asking for a little noise.
08:13This isn't gonna get him any cheers.
08:16Brother.
08:16And a big boot.
08:28Yeah, once of the year, big boot.
08:30Yeah, dropping the big leg, cover, and a kick out.
08:35Only Ty Smith could do it better.
08:37Yeah, that was more of a taunt than anything towards AJ Styles.
08:41They didn't even get a two count.
08:42It just goes to show the kind of dominance Paul is showing here.
08:46And now some jabs coming from Logan Paul, that boxing background you guys talked about earlier on.
08:51This is one of the biggest punches we have seen in WWE, but getting a little too cocky.
08:56And AJ.
08:56And now woken up something inside AJ Styles.
08:58Yeah, Styles gonna take the fight to Paul.
09:02Well, there was nothing cute about that from Styles.
09:05Simply muscled Logan Paul back to the corner and let him up.
09:09Logan second rope, move Salt, AJ taken out, cover now, for the win, kick out at two.
09:15AJ tried to catch Logan Paul in mid air, but too much has been taken out of the phenomenal one already.
09:21Who looks, at this point, like he's running off fumes.
09:25Smooth move by Logan to turn that into a pin.
09:28Almost stole the win rate.
09:34That moves, Salt knocked the Styles a bit out of sorts.
09:37The moon pulp.
09:38Kidney shot there for Logan Paul, uppercuts.
09:45American uppercuts.
09:46Couple uppercuts now by Paul.
09:48Just shows the range of offense that Logan Paul has available to him.
09:52And Styles has no answer to any of this.
09:59Logan Paul's biggest asset has always been that surprise factor.
10:03The cat came out of the bag a long time ago.
10:05Nobody should be shocked about this performance from Logan Paul.
10:09When are we going to accept?
10:10He ain't a newcomer.
10:12He ain't an outsider.
10:14He is the real deal.
10:15And he's doing it under the brightest spotlight of them all.
10:17And he continues to evolve each and every time out.
10:21He's not scared to take his time and celebrate himself though.
10:24And that might be the kryptonite.
10:27The biggest of stages.
10:29Paul has shined.
10:30AJ Styles stops himself.
10:32AJ now picking up the intensity.
10:37Logan Paul doesn't realize that Styles did not go into the corner.
10:41And he will now.
10:42As AJ unloads on the clothesline.
10:44And here comes Styles.
10:45And a phenomenal one.
10:47Representing an entire industry in a lot of people's eyes.
10:54Styles with Logan Paul up on his shoulders.
10:56That's Vincent Styles there and he right to the back of the neck.
11:01This is a different Styles to the one we've seen in the past 25 years.
11:05He's packed a hell of a lot of muscle on that frame.
11:09And he's using it to full effect now powering Logan Paul around.
11:12And earlier today he's got to keep up with the kids.
11:15He's very jacked.
11:17And at this moment he needs to end this.
11:19Okay in the corner.
11:21Don't let Logan Paul get a second win.
11:23Starting to pick up his offense now.
11:25Beat him down AJ Styles if you wanna win.
11:28Styles vertical suplex drops it right on the back of his head.
11:31Let's do a brain buster on that one.
11:32Cover now.
11:33One, two.
11:34And a kick out by Paul at two.
11:40Both these men have to figure out what the hell they have left.
11:43Vertical suplex into the brain buster dropped him right on the back of his head.
11:47You really feel like Logan Paul slipped on a banana peel here.
11:51Just getting too braggadocious.
11:54Absorbing too much spotlight.
11:55And you can't do that against an AJ Styles.
12:00It didn't feel like the right time to take a victory lap.
12:02And AJ Styles has made him pay for it.
12:04What's he thinking now?
12:06Looking for the Styles Clash to put Logan Paul away.
12:09Logolo able to turn it around.
12:12Close to a low blow there from Paul.
12:14AJ lands on his feet into the corner.
12:17Logan Paul got a bit of a zealous, ran into the boot from Styles.
12:21Wasn't it?
12:22He's trying to set up the Paul Verizon there.
12:24Yeah, Logan Paul is the one who's really slowing down and in the drop zone.
12:28And Logan Paul caught AJ.
12:31AJ was going for the phenomenal forearm and Logan Paul caught him.
12:36And rolling sent on by Paul.
12:42Oh, no way.
12:43Oh, no way.
12:44That was three quarters of the ring.
12:46And a kick out by Styles.
12:47That was incredible.
12:48My God, that was about the longest lion's soul I've ever seen.
12:52I saw how far AJ was away.
12:54He can't possibly be trying this, can he?
12:57Oh, yeah, he can.
12:58That's what the Maverick does.
13:00He shocks, he awes, and ultimately he's back in control.
13:04He's an absolutely incredible athlete.
13:07We're sold out tonight.
13:09Over 60,000 yet again at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for WrestleMania Sunday.
13:15God, when you can pull out stuff like that, that truly is a cheat code to the very top of the industry.
13:21Proof positive of why Logan Paul is right here.
13:24There's an audible in the middle of the match.
13:26Let me do a three-quarter look.
13:27Who is this?
13:28I don't, ah.
13:30Again.
13:30Here's the thought, here's what Logan can't do.
13:33Can't keep getting caught up and celebrating himself.
13:36Because you're gonna get caught at some point by Styles.
13:39Yeah, but he's gonna do a lot of great things.
13:40You can't celebrate everything, Logan.
13:41You gotta keep him moving.
13:44Another well-placed elbow by Styles.
13:48Backflip offers.
13:49Layers on his feet, has Logan up.
13:52He's going for the Styles Clash.
13:55Logan Paul able to grab the ropes to counter.
13:57Oh, and a kick by AJ in another one.
14:00Point of the spine there.
14:02Toe to the spine.
14:04No protection, but somehow Paul fighting back.
14:09And bounces AJ off the turnbuckle.
14:11Look, we're at the point in the match now where it's crucial.
14:13What is driving you?
14:14Both men in agony.
14:16And look at that, that clothesline cover, hook of the leg now, by Styles.
14:22The slingshot clothesline, Lariat, almost put Styles away.
14:28A man driven by fame against a man driven by passion.
14:32And right now, is the man who wants the spotlight the most.
14:37Logan Paul, who's looking like he's closing in on victory.
14:40Pat, you know better than anyone what a win at WrestleMania does for your brand.
14:44Absolutely, and let alone Logan Paul's brand.
14:46It's already on top of the world.
14:48Prime, everything else he's done.
14:50Buckshot Lariat though in the middle of WrestleMania and AJ Styles.
14:53That could have been it.
14:54That should have been it.
14:55Logan Paul's playing his greatest hits right now.
14:58And AJ Styles is still in this match.
15:01Titanium loaded right hand.
15:03One of the biggest punches in the history of our game.
15:08And he's lining it up on the phenomenal one.
15:10Has that played in the right hand from a prior injury?
15:13Has used it to his advantage.
15:15Styles ducks underneath.
15:18AJ Styles.
15:20And Logan Paul up top.
15:22Down goes.
15:24Logan Paul, Styles, cover.
15:26Is it enough?
15:28Near fall for AJ.
15:33Just like that, the experience of AJ Styles.
15:36Almost puts Logan Paul on his back for Duke.
15:44At this point, you gotta be wondering who has more gas left in the tank.
15:49It's not only that, it's also who has the deepest playbook.
15:52And you have to give the advantage there to the phenomenal one in his 25 plus years of experience.
15:58Who has the move?
16:02Who has the power to put this away?
16:05Who's walking out of WrestleMania?
16:07A winner?
16:09Logan Paul has badly moved for the past one minute.
16:11Styles off the top rope.
16:16Caught.
16:17Got caught by Paul, who got his knees up and Logan an opportunity.
16:21The veteran got baited in there and now he's gonna pay the price.
16:25Oh, look at this.
16:26Logan Paul, Logan Paul gonna pull one out of AJ Styles' playbook.
16:32The ultimate insult.
16:33With a Styles Clash.
16:37Paul, AJ able to roll through though.
16:40And AJ Styles now gonna turn things around into a Styles Clash of his arm.
16:48AJ said, you think you're gonna do that to me without an answer?
16:51Yeah, right.
16:52What a, oh, look at this idiot.
16:57That's that Jeff fool.
16:59One of Logan Paul's entourage who always seems to be getting involved in this,
17:03these matchups.
17:04This damn Jeff.
17:06This is what you call plan B for Logan Paul.
17:08Slat A wasn't working.
17:10Snaking around this damn Jeff.
17:13Wait a minute.
17:13He's got brass knuckles, but Karrion Kross has got Jeff.
17:18Do it to him, Karrion.
17:24Break Jeff in half.
17:26And now AJ Styles gonna send Jeff toward the barricade.
17:32Jeff just saw his light flash before his eyes.
17:34And he told this story on Monday.
17:36Please, Alan, listen to me.
17:41Please, just put it on.
17:43Please, Alan, please.
17:44Please just put it on.
17:46It's not about me and you.
17:47It's about everything.
17:48Please.
17:49Put it on and blast him.
17:51Blast him.
17:53Please.
17:54Please, Alan, put it on.
17:55And AJ Styles will not use the brass knuckles.
18:00But he'll deliver right in to Karrion Kross.
18:02Kross has been begging AJ Styles to do the right thing and try to beat AJ Styles.
18:04To do the right thing and try to beat Paul tonight.
18:06The mind.
18:08So he wants him to go back to his evil ways to get a win for the industry.
18:12And Styles now setting up with a phenomenal forearm top rope.
18:16Logan Paul.
18:17Bang.
18:20Paul with that right hand.
18:22Into the pulverizer at Mania.
18:29Logan Paul beats AJ Styles.
18:31Cross his plan.
18:33Backfire.
18:34Here is your winner.
18:36Luke and Paul.
18:41Well AJ Styles refused to be corrupted by the wicked and sinful Karrion Kross.
18:47And it turns out that was a major faux pas.
18:51What a victory for Logan Paul.
18:54Who did not use the brass knuckles.
