When Logan Paul took to the WWE ring at WrestleMania, few expected to see anything special from the social media influencer. Sure, he has athletic experience, including three boxing bouts on Pay-Per-View, but hitting dudes for real doesn't necessarily translate to hitting frog splashes off the top rope in the middle of a ring, as more than a few professional fighters-turned-wrestlers like Cain Velasquez have learned firsthand.

And yet, Paul was good in his in-ring debut – at WrestleMania 38, no less – working a fun match with The Mysterios that saw his team score the pin and Miz hold his hand up to celebrate in front of the massive crowd… before being wiped out in the middle of the ring with the Skull Crushing Finale.

So naturally, when it was officially announced that Paul was signing a legitimate contract with WWE – no word on the details just yet – it was only a matter of time before the heelish Miz tried to gaslight his one-time tag team partner in the hopes of getting out of his path and instead on his side moving forward – you know, like heels do. Unfortunately – at least for Mike – it would appear Paul has a decently long memory, as he wants no part in a match with The Miz unless it features the duo duking it out one-on-one at SummerSlam.

Watch out Miz, while Paul isn't a classical wrestler with a decade in the business and hundreds of matches on his resume, the WWE has been booking external talents to look like superstars for years now, especially when they intend to stick around a more than a one-time-only attraction. I mean, just think about your own bout against Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 38.

WWE has already used a Pay-Per-View to put an outsider over The Miz.

When Bad Bunny took the ring with Damian Priest versus the then-dynamic duo of Miz and Morrison, it was one of the more confusing matches booked for β€œThe Show of Shows,” WrestleMania. It wasn't an outright comedy spot fest like the Sami Zayn feud with Johnny Knoxville at WrestleMania 38 or a bout like Butterbean vs. Bart Gunn at WrestleMania 15 which was designed to put the outsider over in a big way and effectively kill the career of the latter, but instead perfectly threaded the needle between the two thanks in no small part to Bad Bunny's incredible in-ring efforts.

Sure, the match featured a good bit of Priest in the ring, but Bunny held his own and hit a particularly incredible Bunny Destroyer on John Morrison that will live on in highlight reels for the rest of time. Bunny looked fantastic both because of his efforts and because of the efforts of Miz and Morrison, and if the WWE wants to make things easy for Paul in only his second contest in the company, they'd be wise to wrestle it out in a similar way.

Fortunately, Paul too has a big-time move in his arsenal – in his case, the frog splash – and even if Miz isn't quite as good of a worker as Morrison, he still should be able to sell the heck out of his former partner's moves, make mild bumps look incredibly brutal, and ultimately put him over on the SummerSlam stage regardless of who ultimately finishes out the match with the win.
