At SummerSlam 2023, Logan Paul and Ricochet opened the card with a match that was highly entertaining to watch. Filled with a lot of action and high-risk moves from both competitors, the match set the tone for the rest of the card. However, that is not why this fight opened the card at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
The reason why Logan Paul and Ricochet opened the card at SummerSlam was that the former had to attend his brother Jake Paul's fight against Nate Diaz on the same day. While SummerSlam took place in Detroit, Jake's fight was in Dallas. This made many wonder about how Logan would reach on time.
The answer to this question would be a private jet. During an episode of his podcast, Paul explained that immediately after his match against Ricochet, he would be jumping on a private jet in his wrestling gear to make it in time for his brother's fight. In doing so, Paul would be covering a journey of two hours and thirty minutes.
This dedication from Logan to attend his brother's fight is heartwarming indeed. Taking into account that the 28-year-old won his match at SummerSlam, it will be interesting to see if Jake can follow his brother and register a victory against MMA legend Nate Diaz.
