Logan Paul slams Perth ahead of Elimination Chamber event in Western Australian capital: ‘This place sucks!’
Logan Paul has unleashed himself on the city of Perth after being booed during a WWE media day at Optus Stadium.
The professional wrestler, 28, is in Western Australia for the Elimination Chamber event, where he will face Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight and Kevin Owens in a World Heavyweight Championship match.
At the pre-match media day on Friday, WWE legend Randy Orton was speaking on stage when Paul paused and held up his United States Championship belt.
The crowd booed the YouTuber turned wrestling champion, to which he replied, “I flew 30 hours to get booed?”
“So this is the first time that WWE is coming to Perth and I’m personally going to make sure it’s the last time. This place sucks guys,” Paul declared.

Paul continued his tirade, complaining that he would rather be in Sydney.
“I mean, even Taylor Swift went to Sydney instead of this mess. I’m serious, you google the top 10 things to do as a tourist in Perth and #1 is visit an island full of rats. Not so different from you guys, huh? Yes.’
The social media influencer then stated that he was the only champion competing at Elimination Chamber, and that he was the youngest by ten years.
“This place sucks guys,” Paul continued, “… make no mistake, I’m only here because I have to. I will win the Elimination Chamber. I will rematch Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. And I will become a double champion
“So Perth, make no mistake: I’m only here because I have to. I will win the Elimination Chamber. I will rematch Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. And I’m going to be a doubles champion,” he boasted.
He concluded his rant by saying: “Perth, consider yourself Logan Paul’s stepping stone.”
Paul concluded his performance on stage by pushing and shoving Kevin Owens.
Paul has become a prominent figure in WWE events of late, securing the United States Championship title at Crown Jewel in November and successfully defending it at the Royal Rumble last month.
The Elimination Chamber marks WWE’s return to Australia after six years, with 60,000 fans expected to attend the special event.
