Between getting little sleep and hearing â evidently for the first time â that there exist fans who donât like him, Paul was ready to bolt.
So much so, he invoked the original disgruntled media captive, former Seattle Seahawk Marshawn Lynch, while delivering a threat to walk off the set.
âIâm only here so I donât get fined,â Paul said, per Awful Announcingâs post on X. âGive me a reason to walk, and I will walk. I will walk, bro.â
A reluctant Lynch showed up to Super Bowl XLIX media day. He responded âIâm just here so I wonât get finedâ to every question.
Of course. Paul was deep into his wrestling persona when he appeared on âFirst Take.â But he shared relatable frustration with having to get up in time to make the 5 a.m. appearance in Las Vegas.
âI would love to answer your question,â Paul said to ESPNâs Shae Cornette. âItâs just so hard because itâs so early, and the neurons havenât quite started firing. Maybe you could ask me a more simple question.â
Then, Cornette asked Paul what he was anticipating the most at WrestleMania 42.
âSleeping in tomorrow morning, which I can do before my match,â Paul said. âIâm a good employee â the best employee they have â and so thatâs why Iâm here.â
Paul will open the Saturday night card at WrestleMania. He is part of a six-man tag team match with partner Austin Theory and another YouTube star in IShowSpeed. They will battle Jimmy and Jey Uso and LA Knight.
This will mark Paulâs fifth appearance at WrestleMania. He is 3-1 in previous events.
WrestleMania 42 will stream live on ESPN at 6 p.m. ET Saturday and Sunday.
