Logan Paul defends LA Knight’s WWE Elimination Chamber ‘botch’
Logan Paul recently defended LA Knight following his WWE Elimination Chamber ‘botch.’
At Elimination Chamber 2026, LA Knight suffered an embarrassing incident when his foot slipped while performing a mid-rope elbow drop on Randy Orton.
The botch became a talking point on the internet and even led to Orton breaking character and laughing while lying down inside the chamber. However, breaking character, Paul has now come to Knight’s defense.
Speaking on a latest episode of ImPaulsive, Paul said, “That particular botch is not his fault. I was in the ring watching it go down live and I can feel the ropes before I do the jumps, they are so slippery you have no idea.”
Shortly after Knight ‘botched’ the move, he took a lowblow from Paul and was pinned, eliminating him from the match.
Earlier in the night, fans also saw Finn Balor slip on the same rope while performing a move on CM Punk during his WWE World title match.
