Logan Paul has strongly denied allegations that he was the masked assailant who attacked Bron Breakker during the Royal Rumble event held in Saudi Arabia. The incident occurred shortly after Breakker entered the match as the number two participant and was ambushed on the entrance ramp, leading to his early elimination.
Details of the Attack and Fan Speculation
During the Royal Rumble, a figure dressed completely in black delivered a stomp to Breakker before the wrestler could even reach the ring, leaving him vulnerable. As a result, Breakker was eliminated by Oba Femi within just 10 seconds of entering the match. This abrupt elimination, combined with fan-recorded footage, quickly fueled speculation online. Some viewers observed what looked like blonde facial hair beneath the attacker’s hood, leading to rumors that either Logan Paul or his brother Jake Paul might have been involved.
Logan Paul Responds on IMPAULSIVE Podcast
Addressing the swirling rumors on his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Paul categorically rejected the suggestion that he was involved in the Royal Rumble ambush. He dismissed the theories circulating on social media and even jokingly shifted suspicion to another individual.
By the way, I’m not the masked man. I’m not the masked man, guys. I see the commentary online. I’m not the masked man. If I am, that’s a shock to me because I don’t remember doing that,
Paul stated.
It’s probably Green Shirt Guy. Motherfcker couldn’t afford the seats on the other side, got priced out by the Saudis. He was on the opposite side, he was in the seats on the other side. Couldn’t get on TV this time, buddy.
This reference alluded to Superfan Smilez, a recognized WWE supporter often featured in the front row wearing a green smiley face shirt. While Paul’s remarks were made with humor, they clearly reinforced his denial of involvement in the attack.
Context of the Storyline and WWE’s Ongoing Angle
The Royal Rumble ambush storyline resembles a recent WWE angle from Survivor Series, where a masked individual interfered in the WarGames match to aid The Vision. That scenario revealed Austin Theory as the culprit. Currently, WWE has teased a potential connection between Seth Rollins and the Royal Rumble attack, despite Rollins not being medically cleared after surgery in October.
As of now, WWE has not officially disclosed the identity of the masked assailant, leaving the mystery unresolved and fans awaiting further developments.
