AEW’s Chris Jericho has defended Logan Paul against critics, saying the YouTuber is “good for business.”
Paul made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 and also competed at SummerSlam.
The popular social media star competed at last week’s Crown Jewel event but came up short against Roman Reigns.
While speaking with Howie Mandel, Chris Jericho stated that he believes Logan Paul is good for business.
“I think it’s great. I think it’s awesome. Anytime you can get somebody from the outside world coming into wrestling and put a spotlight on it, it’s great. Logan Paul is good for the business because it gets more eyeballs onto the show for people who might not watch wrestling or boxing.
“It’s smart. If [other wrestlers] aren’t happy with it, they don’t understand business. The most important thing is selling tickets. That’s the most important thing.
“There are always going to be people who are going to be angry that Logan Paul is in wrestling but if it works, you can’t worry about the people who are getting angry because they probably don’t understand.”
Paul suffered an injury during his match at Crown Jewel and his recovery time remains unclear.
