A popular WWE Superstar has claimed he would not perform a particular move ever again following his recent match at the SummerSlam Premium Live Event. The name in question is Logan Paul.

The Maverick defended the United States Championship against LA Knight at The Biggest Party of the Summer. He put forth an impressive performance but failed to retain the title. Despite losing the match, the 29-year-old received a lot of praise from the fans for his in-ring work, especially a springboard moonsault he pulled out to leave everyone in awe.

Logan Paul welcomed The Undertaker on the most recent edition of his IMPAULSIVE podcast. Speaking to the WWE Hall of Famer, the YouTube sensation mentioned he worked for months to pull off the move in his hometown of Cleveland. Paul added he would never do it again, considering the level of difficulty and danger involved.

"I've worked on that move for months because I knew I was in Cleveland, in my hometown, Browns Stadium, and I wanted to send it. I'll do it once in my life. I'll never do it again because it is extremely hard and dangerous like you said. There is basically zero margin for error," he said. [From 22:21 to 22:40]

WWE legend The Undertaker praises Logan Paul for making the United States Championship relevant

Logan Paul held the United States Championship for 273 days before losing it to LA Knigt at WWE SummerSlam. During a title reign of nearly nine months, Paul had only two successful defenses before the recently concluded premium live event. The social media star, however, carried the title with him to several events outside WWE.

Earlier in the podcast, The Undertaker praised Logan while claiming what the latter did with the title was impressive. Contrary to the general belief, The Phenom believes that Paul made the United States Championship relevant again.

"What you’ve done with your platform for that title has been very impressive. You’ve actually made that thing mean something again, and you had it for what, over a year? What you did and all the places that you go, and you’ve got that belt, man, that’s next-level commitment, and that’s made that belt relevant again," The Undertaker said. [H/T: WrestleZone]

With Logan Paul less likely to feature on WWE television anytime soon, it remains to be seen who will be the first challenger for LA Knight's United States Championship reign.
