During the September 19 edition of WWE SmackDown in Toledo, Ohio, Logan Paul reacted sharply to Brock Lesnar’s destructive outburst involving the Prime Hydration Station at ringside. The chaotic incident unfolded when Lesnar, billed for an interview, instead aggressively confronted Michael Cole and demolished the featured sponsor’s display, sparking tension between the two WWE personalities.
Details of the SmackDown Incident Involving Lesnar and Michael Cole
The evening’s SmackDown began with unexpected violence after Lesnar stormed the ring, overpowering commentator Michael Cole after shunning the planned interview. When Corey Graves attempted to intervene, Lesnar responded with two F-5 moves, further intensifying the scene. Amid this, Lesnar took deliberate aim at damaging the Prime Hydration Station near the ring, causing visible frustration from sponsor co-founder Logan Paul.
Logan Paul’s Public Reprimand Directed at Lesnar
Responding via Twitter, Logan Paul condemned Lesnar’s actions against the official WWE sponsor, accusing the wrestler of disrespect and labeling him an “oversized Sasquatch.” Paul emphasized the contradiction of Lesnar’s behavior as the protein drink line supports WWE financially and hydrates millions. Additionally, Paul endorsed John Cena in the upcoming Wrestlepalooza main event where Cena faces Lesnar.
John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar tonight on ESPN, absolutely crazy, but I’m rooting for John because Brock you’re a disrespectful, oversized Sasquatch, and you shouldn’t have come back to the WWE. There I said it.
