Did WWE's plans backfire with Logan Paul segment on RAW? Initial storyline disclosed

Logan Paul and Seth 'Freakin' Rollins finally met in the ring on Monday Night RAW. The face-off was all kinds of eventful, having had ridiculous trenchcoats and The Miz getting clobbered as usual.

Reports state that Paul and Rollins were supposed to orchestrate a different ending to their segment, but plans were changed. The original plan involved the YouTuber doing the devil's work and ruining The Visionary's magnificent (and candy cane-like attire) and getting slapped for it. WWE was also reportedly pushing for the former to walk into the feud as a babyface, but they didn't have a solution to the negative reactions he has been getting since his debut.

When Paul showed up at WrestleMania 37 as Sami Zayn's special guest for his match against Kevin Owens, he received boos and jeers throughout. After signing his WWE contract, he was presented as the good guy in his feuds with The Miz and Roman Reigns, but crowds weren't having it. The company's plans have seemingly backfired, but they seem to have found a way to make things work, as evidenced by Paul's villainous behavior this week on RAW.

The Maverick and his rival got into a fight once Rollins dumped The Miz out of the ring. He attacked The Revolutionary and called for a Stomp, but the latter dodged it and tackled him into the corner. Miz returned to attack the former world champion but ate a superkick for his troubles.

Seth Rollins walked right into a huge right hand from Logan Paul that knocked him out. He challenged him to a match at WrestleMania 39 before saying, "Bye-bye, b**ch," and walking off, much to the ire of the crowd. He is now a full-blown heel, which is the right call.

Seth 'Freakin' Rollins' thoughts on Logan Paul

Seth 'Freakin' Rollins hates no one more than Logan Paul at this moment in time. After the latter cost him the Royal Rumble match and the win at Elimination Chamber, he was seething. Since then, he has gone on interviews to rip into him, calling him every insult under the sun.

Speaking on After The Bell with WWE commentator Corey Graves, Rollins had it for Paul, saying he was a disgrace to wrestling.

"In the Logan Paul situation, I don't understand what long-term value he's going to be able to give back to us. It's, again, one thing if you come in, you do your thing, and you leave, but the dude's got a contract with WWE. That guy is supposed to have a few matches a year. I don't know what his deal is, but that doesn't make you an ambassador for the business." [H/T Wrestling News]

With Paul challenging The Visionary to a match at WrestleMania 39 on RAW, the ball is in the latter's court. It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious at The Show of Shows.
