Logan Paul has received a lot of praise for saving Rey Mysterio's skin when the legend attempted a springboard moonsault move during their United States Title match at WWE's Crown Jewel special over in Saudi Arabia, but...

Confused? Here's an explanation.

Paul told viewers/listeners that he thinks he "was too far back for the move". He's happy to hold his hands up and admit "we both made a mistake", but is relieved Rey is alright. Logan recalls being in a strange position when he caught Mysterio, and even worried that his knees might've "snapped".

There was zero chance he'd drop Rey though; "I had to catch him. I wasn’t going to not catch him".

This interesting piece of insight puts a fresh spin on what happened at Crown Jewel. Paul is delighted with the positive press, but fancied letting everyone in on the real story.
