5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 41 - Night 2 (Results & Review)

3. Logan, AJ Have A Match

If this were Monday Night Raw, AJ Styles versus Logan Paul would have been a perfectly acceptable TV match.

But as a WrestleMania attraction, their bout Sunday was… eh.

The two had a bathroom break of a match, a series of spots and moves, with the drama coming toward the end when human trope Jeff (Logan’s sidekick) shockingly showed up with brass knuckles… only for Karrion Kross to intervene and stop him. And then AJ inexplicably attacked Kross after refusing to use the knucks. Styles then immediately fell victim to Paul’s loaded punch and a Paulverizer.

While it wasn’t a bad match, this was dull and knocked whatever luster was left off Styles. It also served to normalize Logan. He’s a social media star who’s a spot junkie in the ring, not a wrestler. There’s no real emotion behind his matches, other than “Logan’s a douche.” He needs to start to string together actual matches, because the returns are quickly diminishing.
