WWE’S PETER ROSENBERG BLASTS JAKE PAUL FOR "UNEDUCATED" BAD BUNNY RANT
Jake Paul faces a "culture vulture" rebuke from WWE's Peter Rosenberg after a controversial boycott of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show.
Jake Paul’s taking a ton of heat right now after shooting his mouth off about Bad Bunny—this time, a WWE talent jumped in and fired right back.
So here’s what happened. Jake’s been in the headlines after Anthony Joshua broke his jaw in their fight. He’s Logan Paul’s little brother, and if there’s one thing about Jake, it’s that he never keeps quiet. He’s always got an opinion, and he’s not shy about sharing it—especially lately. But this time, his comments really set people off.
After the news came out, Jake wasted no time letting everyone know how much he hates the idea of Bad Bunny performing at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. Earlier, Logan kept it simple and said he wasn’t excited to see the Puerto Rican star—even though he was actually going to the game. But Jake? He took it way further.
On Twitter, Jake announced he’d be turning off the halftime show and told everyone else to do the same—basically, he wanted to start a protest against Bad Bunny. He even called the Grammy winner a “fake American”. Here’s what Jake posted:
“Purposefully turning off the halftime show. Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them).
You are their benefit. Realise you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”
Well, it didn’t take long for someone to hit back. Peter Rosenberg, a correspondent for WWE, jumped on Twitter and roasted Jake, calling him a “culture vulture”. Rosenberg didn’t hold back—he said nobody cares what Jake thinks unless there’s a chance someone’s about to knock him out in the ring. His response:
“Yo @jakepaul, shut your uneducated, grifting, culture-vulture ass up… people only care about what you have to say if there’s a chance they get to see someone beat your stupid ass at the end.”
Jake hasn’t responded—at least, not yet.
Meanwhile, Logan Paul got booed big time at the Super Bowl. It’s been a week for the Paul brothers, that’s for sure.
JAKE PAUL TARGETS FRANCIS NGANNOU FOR "UNCONSCIOUS" KNOCKOUT IN HEAVYWEIGHT CROSSOVER CLASH
Jake Paul labels Francis Ngannou a "terrible boxer" as the two MVP stars trade heated insults over a potential heavyweight bout.
Jake Paul thinks Francis Ngannou wouldn’t step into the ring with him because he’s scared of getting embarrassed. He’s been pretty vocal about it, even calling Ngannou “terrible” and claiming he’d knock him out.
Paul’s been out of action since Anthony Joshua knocked him out last December. That was a rough fight. He ended up in the hospital with a double jaw fracture; he needed titanium plates in his mouth and couldn’t eat anything solid for a week. And after cheering on his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, at the Winter Olympics, he had to go through a second surgery in February. Honestly, that’s a lot for anyone.
He hasn’t said when he’ll return to boxing, but if he does, he wants a crossover bout with Ngannou. That’s his next target.
Ngannou’s been all over the map in the past couple of years. He left the UFC in 2023, joined the PFL, but only fought once before both sides decided to go their separate ways. In boxing, he faced Tyson Fury and Joshua, but that last fight didn’t go his way. Joshua knocked him out in the second round in Riyadh.
Even with Ngannou’s loss, Paul is itching for a fight. He told Sky Sports he’s got a long list of opponents but called out Ngannou specifically, saying, "He’s a terrible boxer. I want to go back up to heavyweight, knock him out as Joshua did, and render him unconscious. " Paul claims he lasted longer against Joshua and didn’t get knocked out cold, so he figures Ngannou’s avoiding him to dodge humiliation.
Ngannou wasn’t having any of it. After signing with Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions in March, Ngannou is gearing up for Netflix’s first MMA card on May 16, fighting Philipe Lins. Talking to TMZ, he said he wants to “slap” Paul, whether it’s in a boxing ring or in the cage: “I just feel like I need to give him some slaps. That’s how I feel, you know, like slapping him off.”
XANDER ZAYAS EMERGES AS TOP TARGET FOR JARON ENNIS’S NEXT MAJOR SHOWDOWN
Eddie Hearn confirms Jaron "Boots" Ennis is in talks to fight Xander Zayas in June after the Vergil Ortiz deal collapsed.
Eddie Hearn just shared that Jaron “Boots” Ennis’s next fight is around the corner, with talks heating up for a showdown with Xander Zayas.
After unifying the WBA and IBF welterweight belts against Eimantas Stanionis back in April 2025, Ennis jumped to 154 pounds. He took on Uisma Lima in his debut at that weight and sailed through, which got fans buzzing about a possible match with Vergil Ortiz Jr.
Matchroom and Golden Boy Promotions started negotiating for Ennis-Ortiz, but things got messy. Ortiz’s manager, Rick Mirigian, wasn’t happy with the purse Golden Boy offered, sparking tension between Ortiz and his promoter. Ortiz declared himself a free agent, filed a lawsuit against Golden Boy, and tried to strike a deal with Ennis on his own.
Golden Boy responded by getting a restraining order to stop Ortiz from negotiating elsewhere, putting those talks to bed. So Hearn began looking elsewhere, and now Zayas, who holds the WBA and WBO titles, is in the mix. With Top Rank announcing a broadcast partnership with DAZN and Matchroom already tied to DAZN, lining up Zayas vs Ennis looks easier than ever.
“We’re definitely talking,” Hearn told BoxingScene. “Honestly, we were so close to getting the Ortiz fight. We even started planning media tours; it was that far along. Now, with DAZN and Top Rank teaming up and our good relationship with Top Rank, we’ve started chatting with Xander Zayas. No media tour this time, but I think that fight could be just as good as the Ortiz one. Zayas is right there.”
He also mentioned Josh Kelly, the IBF champ at 154, saying it’s been a frustrating stretch for Ennis. “Boots was supposed to fight in April or May; now it’s looking like June. But I guarantee he’ll get a big fight next. By the end of next week, we’ll make a decision; Boots’s fight is imminent.”
If Zayas and Ennis do end up facing each other, that could leave Kelly without an opponent for his first title defence. After beating Bakhram Murtazaliev in January, Kelly said he wanted a unification bout with Zayas.
“Yeah, Kelly’s still up for it, and Zayas likes the idea too,” Hearn said. “But honestly, there’s a lot of money in Boots vs Zayas. Kelly could fight Boots as well, and that could happen. I’m fine with Kelly taking a voluntary defence; he just beat Murtazaliev. What more can you ask for? Murtazaliev, then Boots? That’s a tough path, so we’ll see. But Kelly is up for big fights as well. Conversations are ongoing, and it’s a top priority.”
