In a jaw-dropping turn of events on WWE SmackDown, internet sensation Logan Paul delivered a sucker punch heard ’round the world. The YouTube star, who’s set to take on WWE icon Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, left fans in awe as he laid out the luchador legend with a devastating right hook backstage.
Just one week ago, Logan and Mysterio had shown mutual respect and agreed to their upcoming United States Championship match on November 4. However, this time around, pleasantries took a back seat as Logan Paul orchestrated a sneak attack, blindsiding Rey Mysterio.
Mysterio, backstage watching his Latino World Order allies Santos Escobar and Carlito in a fierce tag team battle against the Street Profits, found himself at the mercy of Logan’s brutal assault. This sucker punch played a pivotal role in the match’s outcome, as Escobar was forced to leave the ring to check on Mysterio, ultimately costing his team victory against Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford.
In a backstage interview with Cathy Kelly, Logan Paul explained his surprising shift in attitude. He claimed that the initial show of respect towards Mysterio was merely a tactic to keep his strategies hidden. In the WWE, showing respect can be a Trojan horse, concealing the true intentions behind the actions.
Logan Paul’s interactions didn’t stop there, as he crossed paths with Kevin Owens backstage, rekindling memories of a Stunner delivered two and a half years earlier at WrestleMania 37.
The WWE universe can brace itself for more drama in the next Friday Night SmackDown. As Logan and Mysterio are scheduled for the official weigh-in, the tension will undoubtedly reach new heights ahead of their colossal championship match.
During a recent interview, Logan made it clear why he’s targeting Rey Mysterio and the United States Championship. He asserted, “I don’t need your respect. Rey has the US Championship – the coveted US Championship, and I do need that championship.”
In response, the legendary luchador challenged Logan’s bravado, remarking that the social media star has a “big mouth” and needs “some humbling.” He made it clear that he won’t “hesitate to whoop” Logan in the ring. The two even shared a handshake, a symbol of sportsmanship amidst the brewing storm.
Logan Paul’s journey in WWE has been nothing short of extraordinary, featuring marquee matchups and impressive performances. He now stands on the precipice of greatness as he prepares to face Rey Mysterio for the coveted United States Championship at Crown Jewel.
Logan’s remarkable WWE run includes wins against The Miz, a showdown with Roman Reigns, participation in the Royal Rumble, and memorable encounters with the likes of Seth Rollins and Ricochet. Wrestling fans are eagerly anticipating the collision between this charismatic internet sensation and a true WWE icon.
