Logan Paul has added his voice to the reaction surrounding Myka Lockwood’s standout moment at last weekend’s WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event.
Lockwood, a member of The Vanity Project alongside Brad Taylor and Ricky Smokes, competed in an eight-man tag match that also featured Mini Abismo Negro. Their opponents were La Parka, Mr. Iguana, Adelicious, and Mascarita Sagrada. The match produced a clip that quickly gained traction across social media, centered on Lockwood’s athletic offense against Adelicious.
During the bout, Lockwood delivered a flipping variation of a Fallaway Slam to Adelicious. The move drew a strong response from the broadcast team, with Corey Graves and JBL both audibly impressed by what they saw. It also became one of the most widely circulated highlights from the event, passing 1.8 million views on X.

Paul saw the clip and offered a brief but telling reaction. The WWE star wrote, “hold up what?”

It was a concise response, but one that reflected the surprise shared by many viewers as the footage spread. Lockwood’s move combined strength, timing, and a striking visual that made it especially suited to a short-form social media clip. In an event built around the meeting of WWE and AAA talent, it was an individual display from Lockwood that cut through the crowded card online.
Lockwood’s Moment Reaches a Wider WWE Audience
WWE x AAA Worlds Collide has provided a setting in which performers from different backgrounds can work in front of an expanded audience. That environment can create opportunities for wrestlers to introduce themselves to fans who may not regularly follow every promotion or every division represented on the show.
For Lockwood, the viral sequence was a clear example of how quickly a single sequence can change the conversation around a performer. A standout spot does not need a lengthy explanation when it is executed cleanly and produces an immediate response from the crowd, commentators, and viewers watching afterward. The reaction from Graves and JBL underscored the impact in the building, while the online numbers showed how far the highlight traveled after the event.
Paul’s reaction also carries obvious visibility. As one of WWE’s most recognizable crossover figures, his social-media responses tend to reach fans beyond the usual week-to-week wrestling audience. His message did not offer analysis of the move or hint at any future involvement, but it placed another spotlight on Lockwood’s performance and the Worlds Collide match.
The bout itself brought together The Vanity Project’s Lockwood, Taylor, and Smokes with Mini Abismo Negro against La Parka, Mr. Iguana, Adelicious, and Mascarita Sagrada. The mix of personalities and styles gave the match a distinctive Worlds Collide feel, and Lockwood’s Fallaway Slam variation emerged as the sequence viewers continued to discuss afterward.
That response is particularly valuable at a crossover event, where a wrestler has limited time to establish an impression. Lockwood did exactly that with an explosive moment that was easy to replay, easy to share, and difficult to ignore.
Rusev Blasts EA Sports FC 27
Elsewhere, former United States Champion Rusev used social media to make his feelings known about the newly released EA Sports FC 27. Rusev did not hold back in his criticism of the game, calling it the weakest entry in the series in his view.
“27 is the worst @EASPORTSFC of ALL TIME! I’d rather play 1995 on Genesis than this broken game. It must be broken. It is broken. It makes no sense.”
Rusev’s post was an emphatic complaint rather than a detailed review, but the message made his position unmistakable. He argued that the game felt broken and compared the experience unfavorably to playing a 1995 title on the Sega Genesis.
WWE personalities regularly use social media to discuss interests outside the ring, and gaming is a common topic among active performers. Rusev’s comments were notable simply for their intensity. There was no ambiguity about his reaction to FC 27: he believes the game has significant problems and considers it the worst installment the series has produced.
His frustration also demonstrated the conversational role wrestlers can occupy online when they are not discussing storylines, matches, or upcoming appearances. A blunt opinion about a major sports game can generate attention just as quickly as a wrestling-related post, especially when it comes from a former champion willing to state the criticism in such direct terms.
Ethan Page Pays Tribute to Eddie Osbourne
The more serious note among the day’s WWE social-media activity came from Ethan Page, who shared a message concerning Canadian wrestling veteran Eddie Osbourne.
Osbourne, who was also known by his wrestling name Eddie Osbourne, died this week at the age of 43. Maple Leaf Pro announced news of his passing. Page subsequently posted a tribute in recognition of Osbourne and his place within Canadian professional wrestling.
While the specific contents of Page’s tribute were personal, the message joined the broader wave of remembrance for a veteran whose death has affected people across the wrestling community. News of a performer’s passing often brings together those who worked with them directly, those who shared regional scenes with them, and fans who encountered their work over the years. Page’s post represented one such acknowledgment.
Professional wrestling is an industry built on relationships that extend well beyond television exposure. Veterans who work in Canadian independent wrestling can influence peers and younger wrestlers through matches, training, travel, and years spent contributing to local scenes. The reaction to Osbourne’s passing is a reminder of those connections and of the personal losses that can be felt throughout the business.
At 43 years old, Osbourne’s death is a tragic loss. Thoughts remain with his family, friends, colleagues, and all those mourning him.
A Busy Day of WWE-Adjacent Conversation
The three messages touched on very different sides of the wrestling world: a spectacular in-ring highlight, a strongly worded gaming complaint, and a heartfelt tribute following a loss. Yet together they illustrated the range of subjects WWE performers and personalities address through their public platforms.
Paul’s post helped amplify a moment from Worlds Collide that had already found an audience. Rusev’s remarks offered an unfiltered reaction to a major video-game release. Page’s message, meanwhile, shifted the focus to remembrance and respect for a fellow Canadian wrestling veteran.
For Lockwood, the immediate takeaway remains the viral response to his move on Adelicious. The clip has already reached well beyond the live event, and Paul’s surprised reaction is another sign that the sequence succeeded in grabbing attention. In a medium where fans are constantly searching for a moment worth sharing, Lockwood delivered one at WWE x AAA Worlds Collide.
