Upon his dramatic entrance, interrupting Orton’s pre-fight address, Paul was greeted with boos from the audience, a response that seemed to catch the wrestler off guard. “I flew 30 hours to get booed?” Paul retorted, visibly frustrated by the reception. His reaction set the stage for a contentious interaction with the fans, as he didn’t hold back in expressing his disappointment with Perth, going as far as to suggest that WWE’s debut in the city might well be its last.
