No one doubted that Logan Paul would bring the goods to WrestleMania and that Seth Rollins would not be outshone, but few could have expected the quality of the match we got between the two.

Rollins and Paul had an absolute barnburner of a match, pulling out every big spot imaginable while still telling a great story of Seth trying to avoid Logan’s knockout punch that he had used twice in the lead-up to 'Mania.

Paul matched Rollins’ intensity in the ring and was actually one step ahead of him, almost as if Seth underestimated him initially. But the Visionary regained control and overcame Paul’s business partner KSI getting involved (in a Prime energy drink costume, no less), pulling the YouTuber into the path of a diving Logan onto the announce desk.

Both men kicked out of finishers and survived homerun shots, but Rollins countered a coast-to-coast dive with a superkick and quickly hit a stomp for the win. Paul lost, but he proved he belonged, while Rollins protected his turf and got the big Mania win.
