Logan Paul kicked off this week’s Raw in his home state of Ohio. He wasted no time mocking the Cincinnati crowd, even taking a jab at star quarterback Joe Burrow. Paul claimed Burrow was wasting his potential by playing for the city’s NFL team. Shortly after, CM Punk interrupted him, leading to a heated exchange that ended with Punk bleeding. However, a lot unfolded before that moment.
Paul called Punk a failure and questioned why he disliked him. After a brief pause, Punk admitted he didn’t know Paul well enough to have a personal issue. He then gave his honest opinion, calling Paul a dime-a-dozen loudmouth who does stupid things for attention. Punk didn’t hold back, criticizing Paul’s behavior and seeking reactions.

Paul fired back by mocking Punk’s WWE return. He pointed out that Punk couldn’t handle the spotlight and ended up tearing his triceps. The conversation then shifted to the Elimination Chamber. Punk brought up Cody Rhodes, suggesting Rhodes knows he’s “the Satan.” He warned Paul that he’d discover the same truth inside the chamber.
After being outspoken on the mic, Paul took a cheap shot by slapping Punk, causing his tongue to bleed. Punk, unfazed, warned Paul to run while he could. He declared that inside the Elimination Chamber, Paul would learn why fans chant his name. The tension between the two continues to build ahead of their showdown.
