Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Kevin Nash, Logan Paul and Mick Foley.

Here’s what Nash said:
“I didn’t think Rey was going over, because they’re paying Logan Paul 5 million. He was second to last going out at the Royal Rumble. He’s definitely going to be in the Elimination Chamber.”
Paul has now qualified for the Elimination Chamber match, where he will face John Cena, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Damian Priest, with the winner going on to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 41.

• At Monopoly Events’ ‘For The Love of Wrestling’ convention, WWF Legend Mick Foley thanked AEW President Tony Khan for playing a role in increasing current wrestlers’ salaries:
“I think they’ve been really important in raising the remuneration that wrestlers receive. I’m not saying this out of any disrespect, but WWE is to me in its own league, but I’m really grateful for AEW.
They have great matches on a regular basis, and without them, the WWE Superstars would not be making what they deserve. So thank you, Tony Khan.”
