Logan Paul was attacked by Ciampa on WWE Raw moments after his SummerSlam match with The Miz was made official.
The controversial YouTuber – who made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 in April when he teamed with the A-Lister to beat father/son duo Rey and Dominik Mysterio – recently put pen to paper on a contract with the company, and he’ll make his singles debut in Nashville on July 30.
Logan made an appearance on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw as he tried to convince Miz to accept his challenge, and things didn’t entirely go to plan.
The former WWE Champion insisted his attack on the social media superstar after their WrestleMania victory was meant to teach him a lesson about the wrestling world, but the 27-year-old star wasn’t convinced.
After repeated mocking, Miz eventually accepted the offer, and so he will go one-on-one with his rival at the huge show – but with the match made official, Miz’s on-screen associate Ciampa then laid out Logan.
With the match set as a singles contest, there is still scope for the former NXT Champion to get involved on the night – and a potential tag team bout isn’t out of the cards down the line.

Meanwhile, it’s also been confirmed Logan will host a special live edition of his Impaulsive podcast on next week’s Raw.
According to ESPN, the 27-year-old fighter signed a multi-event deal with WWE which includes appearances in several premium live events, as well as featuring on their weekly TV shows as needed.
Logan recently admitted he’s ‘excited’ for the future and hopes WWE can be a ‘launch pad’ to improve his own name value if he puts in the work.
He said: ‘I’m excited for this journey and I am well aware of how powerful of a launch pad it can be for whatever I want to do in life. Besides [Impaulsive], my visibility online is not a lot. I’m not uploading on my main channel ever.
‘I do this show every week and I do this and that, but WWE is a good opportunity for me to leverage one of the biggest brands in the world for my own, should I show up. Should I work hard.’
WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1. SummerSlam will air on the WWE Network at 1am on July 30.
