10 Scrapped Wrestling Moments BETTER Than What We Got!
7. Logan Paul Takes On LA Knight At SummerSlam 2023
On paper, watching the ridiculously athletic Ricochet and Logan Paul bounce around a ring together in front of a packed stadium looked like a tremendous idea.
It's just a shame then that the eventual SummerSlam 2023 show-opener - though still pretty impressive given it was Paul's seventh-ever match - didn't quite live up to the hype, with both men struggling to top their sensational/terrifying Money in the Bank ladder/table spot in London.
'The One and Only' wasn't actually the only person Paul had his eye on coming into 'The Biggest Party of the Summer', however. In fact, there was a point there when the social media superstar offered Triple H "two paths" on his IMPAULSIVE podcast. One of those involved putting on a show with Ricochet, the other would have seen Paul clashing with the white hot LA Knight in Detroit.
In the end, Trips clearly felt the Ricochet battle was the better shout, and Knight was disappointingly booked to just earn a Slim Jim battle royal win instead.
At that moment in time, Knight was arguably the most over man in the company, while Paul will always be an incredibly easy-to-detest heel. So, you can only imagine the noise that would have met this clash of the megastars inside of Ford Field.
You never know, maybe 'The Game' has just been saving this money match for a certain event in Philadelphia. But if not, what a missed opportunity this was, eh?
