Last week, Logan Paul defeated MMA fighter Dillon Danis by disqualification in a boxing match. The Maverick called out Rey Mysterio during the post-fight speech.
This past Friday, Logan Paul appeared on SmackDown and said, “Last weekend, I just beat up a deadbeat dad. It looks like I’m going to have to beat up another one.” Rey Mysterio then came to the ring and accepted Logan’s challenge.
Later, WWE officially confirmed that Rey Mysterio will defend his United Championship against Logan Paul at Crown Jewel.
“This is going to be good.
@reymysterio will defend his #USTitle against @LoganPaul at #WWECrownJewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia!”
“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio noticed WWE’s post and stated “@LoganPaul @reymysterio F***ing dorks both of you guys suck,” with a GIF.
