Sensational YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul managed to draw his exhibition match against Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Junior. While the fans are divided in their reception of the eight-round fight, WWE superstar Sami Zayn is happy for his ‘friend.’

Fans still remember the special appearance of Logan at WrestleMania 37. For a little context, Sami Zayn went on a tirade against WWE over the lack of opportunities and a longstanding conspiracy against him.

He once tweeted ‘The Maverick‘ for the screening of his Exposé against WWE. Logan found the thought interesting and actually showed up on SmackDown, but this interaction ended up in Kevin Owens attacking Sami Zayn.

Still hopeful, Zayn invited Logan to his match at WrestleMania against KO. Logan showed up this time as well, but his ‘friendship’ with Sami seemed tarnished after Logan celebrated Kevin’s win over Sami. Meanwhile, Logan got a stunner from Kevin in turn.

But proving all the haters wrong, Sami proclaimed he was happy for his ‘friend’ after the latter stood firmly in the history bout. Zayn revealed his influence on Logan, helped the YouTuber survive those eight rounds against ‘The Money‘.

The ‘Great Liberatorwrote, “I’ll say this, @LoganPaul no doubt worked his ass off and proved a lot of people wrong, but if he never meets Sami Zayn, he never realigns his perspective, and no chance he goes 8 rounds with Floyd Mayweather. I’m glad to have played my part in this historic bout.”
