During a segment of the conference, ‘Hunter’ started heaping praise on Paul. He said,Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match…Logan Paul, showing again why I cannot believe he does what he does and is as good as he is. He has no right to be as good as he is this early doing this.”

“My hat is off to him. He is fearless and gutless and when you’re looking at a guy like that on the ‘Holy crap’ moment, hanging with Ricochet on a ‘holy crap’ level, like you don’t even really need to say anything more than that,” he added. 

Despite putting in one hell of a performance at the men’s MITB ladder match, Paul could not capture the briefcase. And it looked like the WWE Universe was glad that didn’t end up winning the ladder match.

After the men’s MITB match was over and Priest became victorious, fans went online to show their relief over Paul not winning the briefcase. Throughout the match, the O2 arena crowd booed the YouTube star whenever he seemed to gain momentum in the match.

The London crowd was pretty hard on Paul on Saturday night event. All the criticism and booing from the fans may or may not have stemmed from him not having to fight for a spot at the MITB match. Like six other participants, he didn’t have to go through a qualifying match to land a spot in the ladder match.
