Logan Paul had an oddly funny exchange with a fan requesting an autograph.
The Reigning WWE United States Champion and YouTuber competed in his first WWE TV match on SmackDown (Feb. 16). This week’s episode of the Stamford-based promotion’s blue brand proved a noteworthy outing for the social media personality. Paul qualified for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match scheduled on February 24 in Perth by defeating former tag team partner The Miz.
If he conquers the upcoming event, he will snag a chance to duke it out with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
But his victory at the SmackDown isn’t the only thing being talked out. During his entrance, as the pro-wrestler walked past his fans, he grabbed a Prime bottle from one of them in the front row. As the person expected an autograph, Paul instead, in a classic heel move, stuck his used chewing gum on top of the cap!
It didn’t seem like the fan was complaining, though.

Before battling 20-time champion The Miz in the qualifying match that aired on this week’s blue brand and marked the YouTuber’s WWE TV debut, Logan Paul‘s entry into SmackDown was accompanied by a hilariously bizarre exchange with a fan in the front row. And several people took to social media platforms to talk about it.
In a clip shared by @HappyPunch on X, the moment saw the WWE star walking by a front row of the audience, where a fan was extending their Prime bottle, presumably hoping to get it signed by Paul. Grabbing it, the internet personality did what could be best described as ‘never let them know your next move.’

As you can see, the co-founder of Prime spat his chewed gum, put it atop the sports drink bottle’s cap, and gave it to the fan.
How’s that for memorabilia? It was undoubtedly a wild exchange, but the kid in front didn’t seem to mind. To say that the fans watching the moment unfold were amused would be an understatement, as it became one of the highlights of this week’s SmackDown that people are talking about on X.
Logan Paul Qualified For The Men’s Elimination Chamber Match
This week’s SmackDown saw Logan Paul locking horns with The Miz.
Paul, previously the latter’s tag-team partner in taking down Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38, landed an STO to defeat the two-time WWE Championship winner. This led to the internet personality snagging the last spot in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, which will see him come to blows with Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, and Kevin Owens.
With the World Heavyweight Championship on the line, it’ll be worth tuning in to see whether the US champion wins the chance to challenge Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL. It’s a stacked line-up, that’s for sure.
There have been other developments at SmackDown that have captured fans’ interest. At the blue brand, Roman Reigns, slated to face Cody Rhodes at the Stamford-based promotion’s pay-per-view flagship event in April, introduced The Rock as an official member of The Bloodline. The airing also saw The People’s Champ confirming his heel turn. This in-storyline development has sent tremors across the WWE universe.
This comes after last week’s WrestleMania XL Kickoff Press Event, where fans witnessed The Rock siding with Reigns as Cody Rhodes officially decided to face The Tribal Chief at the WrestleMania 40 main event. Of course, the press conference was memorable for other reasons, but perhaps what reverberated across the pro-wrestling fandom was The Brahma Bull slapping the American Nightmare.

With whatever the WWE has been ‘cooking,’ fans can only smell greatness.
The 2024 WWE Elimination Chamber will take place on 24 Feb 2024 in Perth, Australia. Meanwhile, WrestleMania XL, a two-night event, is scheduled on April 6 and 7, 2024, in Philadelphia.
