Logan Paul will compete in singles action at SummerSlam!
After being attacked by The Miz following the pair’s victory over the Mysterios at WrestleMania 38, Logan Paul is looking for revenge. On June 27th, Miz announced that he and Paul would team up once more at SummerSlam, but when Paul announced days later that he’d signed a WWE contract, he made it clear that he wants nothing to do with his former partner, and that he instead wants to fight him.
Last week, Logan Paul doubled down on this SummerSlam challenge and revealed that he’d be appearing the next week in Tampa to confront The Miz.
Sure enough, Paul was a guest on MizTV at the end of the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw. The Miz insisted that he only attacked Paul after their WrestleMania match to teach him a lesson, but the YouTube star insisted that The Miz was jealous of him and his success.

Miz tried to claim that Paul wasn’t ready for singles action in the WWE, and that when they competed as a tag team he could protect his partner, but Paul made it clear that he wanted to face The Miz at SummerSlam and that telling him he wasn’t ready just motivated him further.
Though he rejected the idea of the SummerSlam bout at first, The Miz finally accepted after Paul tried to humiliate him with a “tiny balls” chant.
After getting Miz to accept his challenge, Logan Paul was ambushed by Ciampa, who formed an alliance with Miz last week.
