The 2023 Elimination Chamber premium live event on February 18th saw Logan Paul make his surprise return to WWE for the first time since the Royal Rumble, attacking Seth Rollins inside the Chamber and costing him the chance at the United States Championship, allowing Austin Theory to retain.
The interference was made possible when Montez Ford appeared to suffer an injury in the match. The door to the Chamber was left open while he was being assisted out of the ring and evaluated by medical staff, allowing Paul to enter the cage.
Taking to social media after the event, Logan Paul called Ford “the real MVP” for allowing him the opportunity to get back at his newfound WWE rival.

Though Paul’s comment appears to be self-serving, Montez Ford is certainly worthy of praise following his Elimination Chamber performance. The star was more than impressive in the match, even scaling to the top of the cage at one point before dropping down onto his opponents in an incredible show of athleticism.
“He’s Not A Wrestler” – Seth Rollins On Logan Paul
Going live on Instagram on February 3rd, Seth Rollins didn’t hold back when speaking about his disdain for Logan Paul. His comments come after being shockingly eliminated from the Royal Rumble by the social media sensation, something Rollins doesn’t seem to be taking well.
“Alright, look. I was going to avoid this topic but since I’ve seen a few of you guys asking so far about Logan Paul, I don’t know. I don’t know about Logan Paul. All I know is that I don’t really like Logan Paul. I’ll just say it. A lot of us don’t really like Logan Paul. We don’t. I don’t like Logan Paul, I don’t really need him in my locker room, in my space.
“Great, the guy is ultra talented as far as athletic ability is concerned. He snuck up on me at the Rumble and dumped me, fine. Whatever. I took my eyes off the ball, that one’s on me, but don’t go bragging about it like you did something otherworldly. It’s probably the coolest thing Logan’s ever gonna do in his life. I just advise him to stay in his lane.
“He’s had what, three or four matches? Again, athletic freak, no doubt about it. But, at the end of the day, he’s just not a wrestler. He doesn’t want to be a wrestler. He just wants to be famous, he doesn’t care about the industry. He’s not a wrestler.
“It’s best for him to just stay in his lane, whatever his lane is, I don’t know, buying counterfeit Pokémon cards. If that’s your lane, stay in that lane. Don’t come knocking on my door cause I’ll knock you out. You don’t have your brother for backup because he’s about to get cooked by this dude coming up in a couple weeks. He’s not gonna be around.
“At some point, we’re gonna have to come face to face and I just really don’t think he wants none as they say I guess. That’s all I’m gonna say about LP, as they call him. Come in, do your thing, get your little claps and that. Have everybody hold your hand, great. But don’t be bragging about throwing me out of the Rumble. That’s just kinda… calling me a clown, look at this guy. That’s all.” (h/t Fightful)
