Logan Paul set social media on fire on Friday night with a ‘Hawk Tuah’ tease during his final match with WWE.
Paul, wrestling live from Madison Square Garden on ‘SmackDown’, attempted to pin one of his two opponents, Santos Escobar.
After getting a two count and not the decisive three count he was looking for, Paul decided to cheer himself up by saying ‘Hawk Tuah’ in Escobar’s direction.
The ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, whose name is Hailey Welch, has become super famous in the last week thanks to a video on social media in which she refers to a sexual act.
In the original clip, Welch was being interviewed on the street in Nashville, where she was asked how she gets over a breakup.

“The only way to get over one is to get under another,” he joked.
The interviewer then asked about Welch’s “one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time.”
Welch’s NSFW response almost immediately had social media in a frenzy.
“There’s no way @LoganPaul did the ‘Hawk Tauh,'” one social media user said.
Earlier this week, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Welch has virtually holed up in a quiet Tennessee town where he lives with his family in rural isolation.
Her friends in the tight-knit community 60 miles south of Nashville have created a protective wall around her as she processes her new life in the spotlight, however long that may last.
As of early Saturday morning, Welch’s account had more than 110,000 followers.
Paul went on to lose the match, being defeated by his longtime rival, LA Knight, with NBA stars Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton also involved in the segment.
Paul, the company’s current United States Champion, is under contract with WWE starting in 2022 and has been one of the company’s most consistently used stars over the past two years.
