First Time For Everything: Logan Paul Sets Interesting WWE Record With Match On SmackDown

Never before? WWE has been around for a long time now and as a result, there have been several things that have taken place many times over. At the same time, there are occasionally things that have never happened before, even if you might not notice it at the time. That can make it all the more interesting when they actually happen, which was the case again last week.

Last week on SmackDown, United States Champion Logan Paul defeated the Miz to qualify for the men’s Elimination Chamber match. This was Paul’s first match on SmackDown in his career. According to the Wrestling Stats & Info Twitter account, Paul is the first wrestler to compete on nine premium live events before having a match on a regular television show. Paul’s first WWE match saw him team with the Miz at WrestleMania 38.

This is set to be @LoganPaul's first non-PLE match in his @WWE career, and his 10th match overall.

This Paul guy is kind of good. Check out what he has done in the ring:

Opinion: Paul wrestling on SmackDown almost felt weird as he is one of the bigger stars WWE has to offer at the moment. It feels like he belongs on the bigger stage, and while last week’s SmackDown was big, it felt strange to see Paul included. It says a lot about how good he really is, as WWE has treated him as a special attraction for his entire career, and that was still true this week, even as he moved to regular television.
