WWE legend "The Rock" was left impressed and "proud" of Logan Paul after the YouTuber's Wrestlemania 38 match.
The social media influencer-turned boxer and now wrestling star made his in-ring WWE debut at Mania in Texas.
Partnered with The Miz, Paul recorded a win over the team of Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
And it won praise from WWE royalty in The Rock – real name Dwayne Johnson.
He posted on Instagram: "Very f'n proud of u. I know the hard work you put in, brother."
Before the match nearly the entire 70,000-plus crowd at the AT&T Stadium jeered Paul.

Undeterred, the much-maligned star produced a great performance that included delivering the Three Amigos and a Frog Splash on his opponents.
Paul, with brother Jake Paul watching from the front row, then played a key role as The Miz secured the win for their team.
However, the man who lasted the distance last summer with Floyd Mayweather inside the boxing ring would suffer a painful end to the night.
As he celebrated with his partner, Miz turned his back on Paul and struck him with a Skull Crushing Finale before departing.
