Logan Paul’s spittin’ on that thang in WWE … reacting in a way inspired by the “Hawk Tuah” girl mid-bout — and, it’s got the internet in a frenzy.
The YouTube star turned pro wrestler pulled up to “WWE SmackDown” Friday night in Madison Square Garden and faced off with LA Knight and Santos Escobar in a threeway battle … and, after failing to pin Escobar, he pulled his head back and spat out the viral phrase.
Check out the clip … Logan clearly annunciates the words heard ’round the world — spitting in the general direction of his opponent after not getting the win.

In case you’ve somehow missed the viral craze … Paul’s referencing an on-the-street interview featuring a girl named Hailey Welch — who described an NSFW act she says will drive any man crazy in the bedroom.
She’s received a ton of media attention — though she’s stayed out of the limelight since blowing up — and, a collaboration with an apparel company’s led to thousands of dollars worth of merchandise sold.
Not surprising Logan pulled out the move in the ring … he’s usually at the forefront of viral moments in the sport — and, Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper also appeared to celebrate with the phrase just last week, so athletes clearly love the vid.
Unfortunately, “Hawk Tuah” couldn’t save Logan’s night … ’cause he and Escobar ended up getting beat by LA Knight. BTW … social media’s sorta split on the move — some love it, some are rolling their eyes. It’s a mixed bag.
Anyhoo … looks like WWE’s covered in “Hawk Tuah” — and, the viral phrase keeps slipping and sliding its way into all different walks of life.
