"He's not better than the AEW roster at all" - Popular star rejects huge claim about Logan Paul

A popular AEW star has responded to an ex-WWE talent's claim that Logan Paul is better than everyone on Tony Khan's roster. The star has firmly denied the claim.

Former WWE talent Stevie Richards recently turned heads after claiming on an episode of The Stevie Richards Show that Logan Paul is better than everyone in AEW. The Maverick is considered a top-tier athlete and has built a reputation as a strong in-ring performer. However, the former WWE United States Champion is still in the early stages of his professional wrestling career. As a result, Richards' claim seemed out of place and upset some people, including Orange Cassidy. The "Freshly Squeezed" star was asked to comment on Richards' statement during an interview with Adrian Hernandez, where he completely refuted the claim, stating:

“Uh, no, absolutely not. That Logan Paul is better than the entire AEW roster?! I think Logan Paul is good. I think he’s doing very well for his limited experience and stuff. You know, you just get angry at people like that who just go in and do it, make it look great effortlessly. But he’s not better than the AEW roster at all. That’s like another counter-programming word, clickbaity.” [H/T: ringsidenews]

AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher also responded to Stevie Richards' claim

Apart from Orange Cassidy, Kyle Fletcher also responded to Richards' claims, refuting them, stating that the former WWE star is doing it for clicks.

Speaking on TMZ's Inside the Ring, the Protostar said:

"I think a lot of these things are done with the thought process, ‘Oh, this will get a reaction. Oh, this will get clicks.’ I don't know if he believes that wholeheartedly...No hate on Logan Paul, doing great stuff. Good for you. He's been in the business 5 years, if that. So the level that he's performing at is insane. Do I think he's better than Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay? Not a f*cking chance." [H/T - WrestlePurist on X]

Logan is currently playing a heel gimmick in WWE. It will be interesting to see if the Maverick can use Richards' statement to generate more heat and throw shade at All Elite Wrestling.
