Jake and Logan Paul have officially taken over combat sports - ESPN
Editor's note: This story was originally published before Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz and Logan Paul's appearance at SummerSlam. It has been updated to reflect Logan Paul's next boxing fight against Dillon Danis on Oct. 14. You can watch that fight on ESPN+ PPV.
Logan Paul and fellow wrestler Ricochet were on either side of a ladder, which was standing in the ring at WWE's Money in the Bank on July 1 at The O2 in London. Another wrestler in the match, LA Knight, pushed the ladder over with both men still on it.
Paul and Ricochet awkwardly landed on the ring ropes, messing up a planned spot. They were supposed to come off the ladder, settle on the top rope and then Ricochet would grab Paul and do a flip with him — a move called Spanish Fly — onto tables set up outside the ring.
The original idea was dangerous enough. What ended up happening was worse.
Neither Paul nor Ricochet had their balance, but Ricochet latched on to Paul and flipped off the second rope anyway. Paul nearly landed on a table on his head but luckily managed to tuck his chin at the last second. Paul had no structural damage to his body, but the landing badly cut up his shoulder, and now he has a scar.
