WWE star Logan Paul sends social media wild with ‘Hawk Tuah’ move in latest performance: ‘Ain’t no way!’
Logan Paul set social media on fire on Friday night with a “Hawk Tuah” taunt during his final match with the WWE.
Paul, wrestling live from Madison Square Garden on the episode of “SmackDown,” attempted to pin one of his two opponents, Santos Escobar.
After getting a count of two and not the deciding count of three he was hoping for, Paul decided to cheer himself up by shouting “Hawk Tuah” in Escobar’s direction.
The ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, whose name is Hailey Welch, has become very famous in the past week thanks to a video on social media in which she refers to a sexual act.
In the original clip, Welch was 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 the other,” she joked.
The interviewer then asked Welch, “one move in bed that drives a man crazy every time.”
Welch’s NSFW response almost immediately caused social media to lose its collective spirit.
“There is no way @LoganPaul did the “Hawk Tauh,” one social media user said.
Earlier this week, DailyMail.com exclusively reported that Welch has gone into virtual hiding in a quiet Tennessee town, where she and her family are living in rural seclusion.
Her friends in the close-knit community 60 miles south of Nashville have built a protective wall around her as she processes her new life in the spotlight, however long that may last.
As of Saturday morning, Welch’s account had more than 110,000 followers.
Paul eventually lost the match after being defeated by his old rival LA Knight with a roll-up. NBA stars Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton were also involved in the event.
Paul, the company’s current United States Champion, has been under a WWE contract since 2022 and has been one of the company’s consistently used stars for the past two years.
