WWE WrestleMania 38 Logan Paul Rey Mysterio

Logan Paul's performance was yet another celebrity winner for WWE.

The YouTuber's work was nowhere near as flashy or memorable as Bad Bunny's last year, but Logan looked good out there and didn't over-extend himself by trying to be Kenny Omega. Paul played his role very well, and likely has a guaranteed match vs. The Miz in his back pocket.

It would've been some buzz for Rey Mysterio to team up with his son Dominik at WrestleMania as well. Their twin Eddie Guerrero-inspired outfits struck an emotional chord, one which Dallas used to boo the sh*t out of Logan when he hit Guerrero's triple suplex spot and landed a Frog Splash.

Paul didn't look out of place here, and he can be proud of that considering he was sharing the ring with veterans like Miz and Rey. Vince McMahon would've witnessed enough here to suggest bringing Logan back in for a few more matches is the right call.
