At the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Logan Paul engaged in a tense exchange with the well-known WWE fan, Green Shirt Guy. The confrontation took place ringside when Paul noticed that the fan was not in his usual front-row spot on the broadcast side, which led to Paul directing sharp remarks at him during the event.
While Green Shirt Guy was still seated in the front row, his placement was noticeably different from his customary location that typically ensures television visibility. This change did not go unnoticed by Paul, who challenged the fan on his shifted seat and signature look as the Royal Rumble match progressed.
Explanation of Green Shirt Guy’s Seating and WWE’s VIP Access
Green Shirt Guy has become a recognizable figure at WWE’s pay-per-view events, often seen in premium front-row seats. Unlike some fans’ speculation about special privileges, WWE president Nick Khan clarified on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast that the fan purchases his seats through “On Location,” a sister company of WWE and UFC specializing in VIP hospitality and entertainment.
One of the sister companies of WWE and UFC is On Location, which is VIP hospitality and entertainment,
Khan explained.
So, he pays for his seats, he pays a premium for those seats with On Location, and that’s why he gets to be in the front row.
This dispels rumors that he was granted lifelong front-row access due to past incidents at WWE events, emphasizing that his presence there is the result of paid premium seating rather than favoritism.
