Logan Paul Makes Complaint About Logos On WWE Ring Mats: “I Can’t Get Running Full Speed, I Gotta Be Really Careful With My Feet & My Placement”

It has been tasking for Paul to get some speed going in the ring.

Coming off of competing in the 2026 men’s Elimination Chamber match, Logan Paul took to his IMPAULSIVE podcast and touched on the match.

Paul defended L.A. Knight’s slip up off the top rope and stated that the ropes were slippery by the time the men’s Chamber started. He then pivoted to speaking about how taxing it can be to wrestle with the logos painted onto the ring canvas.

“Look, dude, what I’m about to say is the last thing I wanna do. I don’t wanna do this, because I despise L.A. Knight and everything he stands for, because let’s be honest, he doesn’t stand for anything. He stands for one affirmative word, ‘Yeah!’ We get it bro. Shut up. No!… He can’t even stand on the rope,” Paul laughed. “I don’t wanna say this, but that particular botch that L.A. Knight had is not his fault, and I was in the ring. I was watching it go down live and I can feel the ropes before I do the jumps. They are so slippery and oily. You have no idea, especially when you’re the last match of the night, because it’s been used, right? And all these oily, sweaty wrestlers are just greasing these ropes up so by the time it’s 10 PM at night and you’re the last group to go, the ropes are soaking wet.

I also wanna say this though, while we’re on this topic, because again, I hate to defend L.A. Knight, but that botch wasn’t his fault, that rope was really slippery and guess what? I’m gonna say it: By the end of the night, the middle of that ring gets really slippery with them logos painted in there. I’ll just say it. I noticed. I can’t get running full speed. I gotta be really careful with my feet and my placement. Because the logos that they now paint in the middle of the ring — that I started! I started it with PRIME! We were the first in-ring, middle of the ring sponsor ever with the logo… It’s not us anymore! It’s not us anymore! And I know this was a thing because before we did that, we were going back and forth with WWE about whether or not it was even possible because the way they paint it, they wanted to actually stress test the mats and have people wrestle and see if it got oily and they determined that the type of paint they used was okay and that it wasn’t gonna be slippery. But then they started using color paint as well. I don’t know what they’re using now, but I’m telling you, it’s slippery.”

In the men’s Chamber match, Logan Paul eliminated L.A. Knight, Trick Williams, and Je’Von Evans. He was eliminated by Cody Rhodes following Seth Rollins’ return to take out Paul.
