Logan Paul, a YouTube influencer and WWE superstar, shared footage of himself performing a wrestle move while holding the camera he captured it with.
The star, who is 27 years old, was only competing in his third professional wrestling match. He had previously been a skilled boxer.
Paul was previously a wrestler for WWE. He had previously faced The Miz (Dominik) and Rey Mysterio. But his biggest challenge to date was against Roman Reigns the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Reigns faced Paul on Saturday at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Despite his inexperience in the ring, he impressed the crowd with a series athletic stunts that wowed them in Riyadh.

The most spectacular moment was perhaps when Paul leapt from the top rope to crash through Reigns, who was several feet away at the announce table with a “frog splash”.
In fairness, stuff like this happens all over wrestling. But what made this unique was that Paul recorded it all and shared it on Instagram.
Paul’s video has been viewed over five million times on Instagram alone. People have responded with amazement.
Patrick Schwarzenegger wrote: “This is insane.”
Movie director King Vader said: “The first person in history to do this I’m sure!’
Meanwhile, musician The Truth Experiment added: “”I am the table” is a reference to a popular WWE meme.
Logan lost the match against Reigns, who held the WWE championship for over two years despite his strong showings and a cameo from his brother Jake Paul.
However, it is unlikely that this will be Logan Paul’s last appearance in a WWE ring. He has exceeded all expectations and may be the best celebrity to attempt the sport.
