Logan Paul never misses a chance to stir controversy, and his latest jab was aimed directly at Cincinnati Bengals fans. During WWE Raw, the social media star-turned-wrestler took the microphone and delivered a sharp insult that quickly went viral.
“You guys waste talent, look what you did to Joe Burrow,” Paul said, referencing the Bengals‘ franchise quarterback, who missed most of the 2023 season due to injury.

The comment drew loud boos from the crowd, as Paul, a native of Ohio, showed no hesitation in antagonizing the local fanbase. With millions watching, his remarks instantly became a hot topic among WWE and NFL fans alike.
Logan Paul thrives on controversy
This isn’t the first time Paul has used WWE as a platform to take shots at a city’s sports team. The polarizing figure has embraced his role as a villain in the wrestling world, and his ability to generate buzz with off-the-cuff remarks has made him a major draw.
His Bengals comment comes amid growing frustration for Cincinnati fans. The team, once a Super Bowl contender, struggled after Burrow’s season-ending wrist injury. While the quarterback remains the face of the franchise, some critics argue that the team hasn’t done enough to build a championship-winning roster around him.
WWE and NFL worlds collide
Paul’s rise in WWE has brought an interesting crossover between wrestling and mainstream sports. His comments about the Bengals show that he’s well aware of the headlines in the NFL, and he isn’t afraid to use them to rile up fans.
With the Bengals aiming for a bounce-back season in 2024, Paul’s words might serve as added fuel for a franchise looking to prove its doubters wrong. But for now, Logan Paul is enjoying every bit of the attention-whether it’s from WWE fans or angry Bengals supporters.
