LOGAN PAUL ADDRESSES "BANNED FROM JAPAN" CHANTS FROM WWE RAW BELFAST
Logan Paul has officially addressed the viral "Banned from Japan" chants from WWE RAW in Belfast, clarifying his legal travel status.
Logan Paul finally cleared the air about whether he’s actually banned from Japan. He did it right after fans hammered him with brutal chants during WWE RAW at the SSE Arena in Belfast.
The night wasn’t all hostility, though. Finn Balor, even though he lost, soaked up the energy from the home crowd. He got a big hug from CM Punk at the end—one of those moments where you can’t help but feel the emotion in the arena.
But Logan Paul? He definitely didn’t get any love from the Belfast crowd. The YouTuber-turned-WWE star walked into a wall of ruthless chants during his match.
During a six-man tag, Logan teamed up with Bronson Reed and Austin Theory to face Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and Penta. The crowd didn’t hold back—they hit Paul with the usual “F*** you, Logan” chants. By now, he’s probably used to it, playing the heel and all.
These chants are all about that infamous 2017 video Paul filmed in Japan—the one that blew up, sparked worldwide outrage, and forced him into that apology video that’s been watched 64 million times.
So, is Logan Paul banned from Japan? Well, he set the record straight in a vlog he posted on Wednesday. Someone caught his reaction to the chants, and you could tell he was a bit stunned.
“Bro, I’m not even banned from Japan, like, officially, like in an official way,” he said, sounding almost annoyed. “Nothing is stopping me from going there.” Then he laughed and asked, “How did a room full of absolute morons concoct such a brilliant chant?”
He finished with, “I’m not banned from Japan. What the f***, bro? I’m not. I’m actually not.”
And honestly, this isn’t the first time he’s talked about going back to Japan. On his IMPAULSIVE podcast last May, someone asked if he’d ever return. He said he would, but only if he could do it right.
“I love Japan. You want to hear something? It’s my favourite country on Earth. I have to. I’d like to do it the right way. I’d like to be invited, or maybe if WWE does an event there,” Paul said.
OBA FEMI AMBUSH CONFIRMS BROCK LESNAR MATCH AND SHIFTS ROLLINS’ WRESTLEMANIA PLANS
Seth Rollins teased a WrestleMania 42 match with Bron Breakker after Oba Femi replaced him as Brock Lesnar's opponent.
This week’s RAW didn’t just hint at a big WrestleMania match it quietly spelt it out.
Seth Rollins came out swinging. He went right for Paul Heyman, dropping the jokes and theatrics for once. Seth accused Heyman of picking the wrong side and promised to run him out of WWE. Heyman didn’t flinch. He just did what he always does: sent out Brock Lesnar. For a second, it looked like Rollins vs. Lesnar was heating up for WrestleMania 42.
Then Oba Femi stormed in and flipped the script.
Femi ambushed Brock, and before you could blink, WWE announced Lesnar vs. Femi for Las Vegas. That move did more than set up a fresh headline bout it took Brock out of Seth’s way. Now, the biggest question on RAW is, who's Seth facing at WrestleMania?
Only one guy still fits.
Rollins made his intentions clear. Anyone in Heyman’s camp is officially his enemy. Roman Reigns? He’s tangled up with CM Punk. Lesnar? Now booked with Femi. That doesn’t leave many options.
It leaves Bron Breakker.
Breakker hasn’t been around after hernia surgery, but the story with Rollins isn’t over. He was the one who turned on Seth and kicked him out of The Vision. That betrayal still stings. When WWE plants a seed like that, they usually bring it full circle.
Some earlier reports said Breakker’s injury might keep him out of WrestleMania, but RAW’s booking says otherwise. If the plan was always Rollins vs. Lesnar, WWE wouldn't have switched gears so fast to Lesnar vs. Femi. That change feels deliberate. It clears space for something bigger.
Rollins even name-dropped Breakker during his promo, mentioned the injury, but kept him in the story. That line mattered WWE hasn’t forgotten about him.
Breakker’s official medical update is still up in the air. Behind the scenes, people are confident. Rollins will be ready for WrestleMania, and hopefully Breakker can make it too. If he’s not cleared, Logan Paul is waiting in the wings as Plan B.
HOW PAUL HEYMAN MANAGES FOUR TOP TIER TALENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY ON WWE RAW
Paul Heyman’s massive backstage influence is revealed as Bron Breakker undergoes emergency surgery before WrestleMania 42.
Word is spreading about just how much pull Paul Heyman really has backstage in WWE.
Sure, everybody sees him on RAW standing next to Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory. But behind the curtain, Heyman’s hand is all over things you’d never guess he touched.
Sean Ross Sapp cleared up the whole “Is Heyman involved with creative?” thing during a Fightful Select Q&A. And the answer? Yes, absolutely. Heyman jumps in with ideas, especially for the talent he’s managing on TV.
You’ll usually find him shaping personalities, tweaking promos, and making sure those stories hit harder. He’s got a reputation for mentoring talent he believes in, too. He doesn’t just offer generic advice; he genuinely invests in these people. At one point, he even joked that WWE sometimes holds back on pushing someone if he’s too publicly supportive. That pretty much says a lot about how much clout he’s got.
Currently, all the drama surrounding Heyman’s on-screen group has fans even more glued to what he’s up to. Remember Seth Rollins? He was leading The Vision until his injury last year left him out of the picture.
Then, at Elimination Chamber, Rollins ripped the mask off and went after Heyman’s crew, zeroing in on Logan Paul. Next thing you know, Rollins is attacking Heyman on RAW, making this rivalry even wilder and turning up the heat.
While all of that unfolded, Heyman spoke out about Bron Breakker’s recent setback. He didn’t sugarcoat anything when he called into Busted Open Radio to talk about Breakker’s hernia surgery. Breakker hurt himself so badly that he needed emergency surgery, and this was right when he was on the verge of a big WrestleMania moment. Did Heyman treat it like a tragedy, though? Not really.
He spun it as fuel for the fire, saying the frustration from being stuck on the sidelines could actually help Breakker come back even stronger. In his eyes, every day away just makes that hunger to return even bigger. With WrestleMania 42 coming up fast in Las Vegas, the real question is whether Breakker will heal up in time to make an impact.
