WWE SmackDown star takes a shot at Logan Paul
Bobby Lashley recently mocked Logan Paul for running around with the United States Championship while rarely appearing on television.
Logan Paul won the United States Championship at Crown Jewel 2023 by defeating Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. Santos Escobar betrayed his former Latino World Order stablemate, and Paul was able to capitalize.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, Bobby Lashley criticized the United States Champion and claimed he would take the title from him if he got the chance.
"I just got jumped from behind by Santos and his group," Lashley said. "Now, think if I were to be the one going against Logan Paul, a guy that doesn't come to the show, just runs around with our title, and talks a tremendous amount of trash. If I was the one to get in [with Logan Paul], I'd take that title away from him, and I'm there every day." [7:06 – 7:26]
