Logan Paul vs Rey Mysterio all set to take place at Crown Jewel
During the recent episode of 'Smackdown', Logan Paul made a return to WWE and confronted Rey Mysterio.
He said, "Let me jog your memory, I already beat Rey Mysterio. I beat Rey Mysterio in my first-ever WWE wrestling match – been there, done that," as per Metro.
Further adding, "In fact, the last time I beat Rey Mysterio, Dominik was still his son."
Paul continued, "The last time I wrestled Rey Mysterio, Roman Reigns actually showed up to wrestle! The last time I wrestled Rey Mysterio, LA Knight didn’t even have a job! A lot has changed since then, y’all."
He continued, "I’m not here for Rey Mysterio, but Rey has something I need. Rey has respect. I don’t need your respect. Rey has a legacy. I got my own legacy."
Adding. "Rey has the US Championship – the coveted US Championship, and I do need that championship. So even though last weekend I just beat up a deadbeat dad, it looks like at Crown Jewel I have to beat up another one."
However, Rey Mysterio came out and insisted Logan has a "big mouth" and "needs some humbling," noting that he won’t "hesitate to whoop" him in the ring.
The legendary luchador appeared hesitant to shake hands, but Logan Paul managed to persuade him to do so. This sets the stage for an immense showdown at Crown Jewel.
