This weekend didn’t have a major UFC or MMA event, but a couple of popular fighters were featured in WrestleMania 38. Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey made her WWE return, taking on Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown women’s title. Social media influencer turned boxer Logan Paul also made his pro wrestling debut, pairing up with The Miz to take on Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
Paul, who had an exhibition boxing match with Floyd Mayweather last year, switched to pro wrestling, and actually impressed on his debut. Watch some highlights below, where Paul pulled off some interesting moves.
