Logan Paul reveals why Bellator dropped Dillon Danis at WWE RAW: ‘That fool embarrassed himself'
CLEVELAND, OHIO: Despite a predominantly one-sided win, the rivalry between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis remains in the spotlight, and "The Maverick" even claimed responsibility for Bellator releasing the Jiu-Jitsu practitioner from their promotion.
During the most recent WWE RAW episode, Logan Paul made a return to speak to WWE fans about his wrestling ambitions.
He discussed his triumph over "El Jefe" in his in-ring promo and disclosed that Bellator had reportedly severed ties with him due to his performance.
What did Logan Paul say?
Logan Paul took advantage of the opportunity to make fun of Danis for being dismissed from Bellator MMA a few days after their boxing battle concluded, all while promoting his impending participation at WWE Crown Jewel, a high-end event staged in Saudi Arabia in November.
He said, “You know what I just found out? That fool that I beat in my boxing fight last weekend, embarrassed himself so badly, that he got dropped by his fight league."
Paul added while addressing the crowd, "Dropped. So that means not only did I make him lose the fight, I made him lose his job. Unemployed. Unhappy. Unfulfilled. Sucks to be that guy.”

To provide context, there has been considerable speculation about Bellator's future, with reports suggesting that the PFL (Professional Fighters League) has intentions to acquire the organization.
It's possible that they decided to release Dillon Danis because he hasn't competed in Bellator since 2019, and he has expressed no interest in joining the PFL unless it's for a bout against Jake Paul.
Logan Paul and Dillon Danis continue to engage in banter despite their recent clash, indicating that their ongoing feud is unlikely to conclude anytime soon.
What is upcoming for Logan Paul?
Following his convincing victory over Dillon Danis in their recent boxing match, Logan Paul appears to be refocusing his attention on his WWE career.
In his post-fight interview, the self-proclaimed "Maverick" issued a challenge to Rey Mysterio, the current WWE United States champion, indicating his interest in a bout with the wrestling legend.
The high-flying wrestling sensation, Rey Mysterio, graciously accepted the challenge during the WWE SmackDown broadcast last week.
Their showdown has now been officially scheduled for WWE Crown Jewel, an event set to unfold in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Since transitioning to professional wrestling, the former influencer who has now become a WWE superstar has excelled, delivering numerous memorable moments that would easily earn a spot in any highlight reel.
To provide some context, Logan Paul's fiancée, Nina Agdal, was subjected to severe online harassment by Danis, who not only shared explicit images of her but also made highly controversial remarks that garnered significant attention and controversy on the internet.
