Logan Paul’s performance during the main event of Money in the Bank on June 7 was marked by a conspicuous error when he attempted to execute a maneuver associated with a prominent AEW talent. In a high-stakes tag team match pitting Paul and John Cena against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, Paul tried to hit Uso with the Buckshot Lariat. The execution went awry as Paul slipped, failing to land on his feet and connect with the intended lariat, which prompted a quick superkick from Jey Uso to salvage the sequence.
This misstep in Inglewood, California, was not an isolated incident for Paul. On the preceding episode of WWE SmackDown, he experienced another botch while targeting Cody Rhodes. As Paul ascended the turnbuckle for a Frog Splash, he slipped on the top rope. After acknowledging the mistake with a gesture to the camera, he successfully performed the move on his second attempt.
The Money in the Bank contest ultimately ended in defeat for the duo of Logan Paul and John Cena. The match’s decisive moment came with the unexpected return of Ron Killings, who had recently been released by WWE. A hooded Killings stormed the ring, revealing himself before tackling Cena and striking him with a championship belt. This interference allowed Cody Rhodes to recover and secure the pinfall victory over Cena.
This main event served as John Cena’s final in-ring performance at a Money in the Bank event, a fact highlighted as part of his ongoing retirement tour, which is slated to conclude by the end of 2025.
