Logan Paul will be looking to punch his ticket to WrestleMania 41 on Saturday night.
‘The Maverick’ is set to take on John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest and Seth Rollins in a brutal Elimination Chamber match this weekend’s live event.
If he can be the last man standing, Paul will earn himself an Undisputed WWE Championship match WrestleMania in April.
The influencer-turned-professional wrestler qualified for the Elimination Chamber by defeating Rey Mysterio on Raw earlier this month, putting the veteran away with his brand new ‘Paulverizer’ finishing move.
But while fans will expect to see plenty more of the new finisher, which is a modified DDT, there is another move that Paul has vowed he will never use again.
Against Mysterio, he also performed a ‘Moonsault ‘N Battery’ from the middle rope.
The high-risk move saw Paul pick up his opponent from the middle turnbuckle, before flipping backwards with him in his arms.
He appeared to pull it off well, but ahead of the Elimination Chamber event, Paul confirmed he’s done with the move.
“Never doing that again,” he wrote on Instagram, sharing footage of his match with Mysterio and tagging WWE in the process.
The ‘Moonsault ‘N Battery’ is associated with wrestler Shane Mercer, and WWE commentator Michael Cole gave him credit for the move when Paul used it on Raw.
“Oh my goodness, a ‘Moonsault ‘N Battery’ from Logan Paul, shades of The Iron Demon,” Cole said, referencing Mercer’s nickname.
While Paul has suggested he won’t use the move again, he impressed fans when he performed it a couple of weeks ago.
“That did not look easy! Good stuff Logan,” one person wrote, responding to the video.
“Only about three or four other superstars can pull that move, Paul’s arsenal is elite,” another suggested.
“I know a lot of people don’t like him, but damn he’s good,” a third said.
Even Mercer himself responded to Paul using the move.
“OK Logan Paul I see you,” he wrote.
While ‘The Maverick’ has been impressing with his in-ring work ahead of Elimination Chamber, he has also admitted that he still has heat with fans.
Speaking on the latest episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Paul suggested he rubs some members of the WWE Universe the wrong way.
“I think I have ‘go away’ heat. The only reason why it works is because I’m a great wrestler,” he said.
“Certainly, there is a handful of the audience that is genuinely like, ‘get this guy out of here.’”
While he might not be everyone’s cup of tea, there is no denying Paul has already proved himself a talented wrestler.
And if he secures the win inside the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night, he will set up the biggest match of his career to date at WrestleMania 41.
