Rey Mysterio will defend the WWE United States Championship against Logan Paul and Crown Jewel on Saturday, November 4.
After Paul defeated Dillon Danis in a boxing match last Saturday, during the post-match interview, Paul called out Rey Mysterio saying he wants the WWE United States Title.
Below is an excerpt from Roy Nemer’s WWE SmackDown recap of how it all went down.
He says he is not here for Rey but Rey does have something he needs. He says Rey has respect, he doesn’t need his respect. Rey has legacy but he has his own legacy. Rey has the US Championship. And he does need that. Even though last week he beat up a dead beat dad, it looks like at Crown Jewel, he will have to beat up another.
Rey Mysterio’s music hits and out he comes to the ring. Logan looks at Rey’s US Championship as Rey points to it. Rey tells Logan he actually reminds him of his son Dominik. Amazing, natural ability, passion, incredible career ahead of him and a big mouth. Oh and he forgot, both are idiots.
He tells Logan, he needs some humbling. And the last time he had to kick some sense into Dominik, he was a little reluctant. But with Logan, he is not going to hesitate to whoop his ass. Rey tells Logan he wants this title,, he will give him the opportunity. Rey says Logan Paul against Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship at Crown Jewel.
Logan tells him good luck in Spanish and extends his hand. Rey looks at the crowd and shakes Logan’s hand. Logan drops his microphone and leaves the ring.
Paul’s last WWE appearance was at SummerSlam back at Ford Field in Detroit, MI when he defeating Ricochet.
