Jake Paul slammed on WWE Monday Night RAW as ‘not real fighter’ by Damian Priest as boxer is linked with wrestling move
WWE star Damian Priest fired a verbal knockout to Jake Paul on this week’s episode of Raw.
The YouTuber stretched his unbeaten professional boxing record on Saturday by delivering a first round knockout to ex-UFC star Ben Askren.
That took the much-maligned 24-year-old American to 3-0 – although he has yet to face an actual boxer.
Paul revealed his KO demolition of Askren generated 1.5million Triller pay-per-view buys and claims the bout raked a mega £54million just in PPV buys.
Paul looked delighted to share the news as he posted an image on Instagram flashing a load of bank notes.
He is now set to make millions more in box office money on top of his reported £500,000 fight purse with a host of big names wanting a piece of the action themselves.
Now WWE’s Archer of Infamy appears to have stoked the flames over a potential showdown with his comments on Monday Night Raw.
The 6ft 4in powerhouse’s verbal jab came after he interrupted a segment between The Miz and his wife Maryse.
The A-Lister was claiming that he made Bad Bunny’s wrestling career following his WrestleMania 37 display and also boasting about him stealing a win over Priest the previous week.
That was when Priest arrived on the scene – and he soon told his foe: “Miz, you are as delusional as Jake Paul thinking he’s a real fighter.”

Paul has teased a potential WWE appearance in the past and the door could have been opened further to that opportunity thanks to his brother Logan Paul.
His elder sibling participated at this month’s WrestleMania as Sami Zayn’s special guest and stood in The Great Liberator’s corner during his match against Kevin Owens.
Following an incredible back-and-forth encounter, KO picked up the victory thanks to a devastating Stunner.
Paul stepped inside the ring after the bell to congratulate the winner but Zayn didn’t take kindly to that gesture.
The ex-NXT Champion started shouting at the YouTube star, who quickly had enough and ultimately pushed the professional wrestler to the mat.
Zayn walked away in a state of rage while Paul picked Owens’ arm up in front of the crowd – only to receive a Stunner himself.
Meanwhile Jake, who wants to face Tommy Fury, is also desperate for a shot at Conor McGregor – but a potential clash with the UFC mega-star’s team-mate Dillon Danis could provide the gateway for it.
