Logan Paul has responded to wrestling fans and critics regarding his claim of performing a “never before seen move” during his tag team match at Money in the Bank on June 7. After many pointed out that legends like Super Crazy executed similar twisting moonsaults, Paul took to TikTok to clarify his statement, arguing that the distinction lies in the execution and, most critically, the landing.
The maneuver in question was a spectacular springboard moonsault Paul delivered to Jey Uso through an announcer’s table, a moment that garnered significant praise despite his team’s loss. His defense centers on the precision and risk involved in his version compared to historical examples.

Paul Breaks Down the Difference
In his social media video, Paul detailed his perspective on what constitutes a complete wrestling move, using a clip of Super Crazy’s moonsault as a point of comparison.

“As a professional WWE Wrestler,” Paul stated, “When I say move, to me that means the entire sequence. Right? From start to finish — which obviously includes the landing. When I did my twisting 180 degree moonsault out of the ring, I only landed on one guy.”
He then highlighted the crucial difference in the older clip, where multiple wrestlers were positioned to catch the performer. “This guy had four guys to catch him. Still super impressive, but there’s four guys to catch you — eight arms. That said, its just math that the odds of success go way up and the odds of getting hurt go way down when you have that many people there to catch you.”
Paul’s high-risk maneuver was a standout moment in an eventful weekend for the social media star. He and John Cena, after ambushing their opponents on the June 6 episode of SmackDown, ultimately lost their tag team match to Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at Money in the Bank. The loss came after the surprise return of R-Truth, who interfered and attacked Cena. Paul later blamed the “cheaters” and R-Truth’s rehiring for the defeat.
Despite the impressive moonsault, Paul’s weekend was not without its flaws. During the main event, he botched an attempt at a Buckshot Lariat, and on the preceding SmackDown, he slipped on the top rope while attempting a Frog Splash on Rhodes before successfully completing the move.
