Nickal earned a UFC contract after defeating CFFC Middleweight Champ Donovan Beard in 52 seconds in the season finale of Dana White's Contender Series. At the post-show conference, Bo challenged Paul, saying he wanted to face the YouTube personality in the UFC or the WWE ring.

This didn't sit well with Lance Storm, who expressed his anger on Twitter. The former Intercontinental Champion tweeted that he would have fired Bo Nickal if he had the power.

He explained that instead of representing and putting over UFC, Nickal foolishly challenged Logan Paul:

One wrong move ruined his entire WWE career - Watch Now!

"I’d fire this guy on the spot for this. He gets a UFC contract and cuts a promo to face a celebrity boxer in WWE. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you," tweeted the veteran.

In another tweet, Storm explained Bo Nickal's actions through a wrestling analogy. He tweeted that it was like a performer winning Tough Enough and then challenging an IMPACT Wrestling star for a match in AEW.

"Imagine winning Tough Enough and then challenging an Impact wrestler to a match in AEW. Nothing like putting over the company that is paying you," Lance tweeted.

Fans had mixed reactions to WWE veteran Lance Storm's tweet

Storm's tweet divided fans, with many coming to Bo Nickal's defense. A few users pointed out that since UFC contracts don't pay much, it's understandable why Nickal would be interested in wrestling with the global juggernaut.

On the other hand, a user wrote that the issue was too "minuscule" to get Bo Nickal fired from the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Another fan wrote that Nickal's comments shouldn't create an issue since Dana White doesn't put restrictions on his talents on what to say.

After officially becoming a 'superstar' earlier this year, Logan Paul is currently gearing up for his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022.
