Rey Mysterio’s third reign as the United States Champion was ended by internet-celebrity-turned-pro-wrestler Logan Paul. The 28-year-old star had challenged Rey Mysterio for his title after making a fruitful boxing return. When asked what’s next for him after securing the win against Dillon Danis in boxing, he said he wanted to go after the Lucha Libre to capture his title.

Paul, who was seen celebrating his victory over Rey Mysterio, gave his verdict on pro wrestling. And Triple H was all ears.

After his win at Crown Jewel, Paul was seen backstage, clicking pictures with his title. Logan Paul, who was drenched in sweat and still gasping for air, saw the Chief Content Officer of WWE, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, coming his way. As soon as he saw him, the words that came out of The Maverick’s mouth were, “It is a tough a*s sport, boss”. After hearing those words, Triple H couldn’t help but chuckle while shaking hands with the new United States Champion.

Paul gave an extremely tough competition to the former United States Champion. He even foiled three pinning attempts by Mysterio, who was desperate to secure a win against him. As the match reached its peak, the two SmackDown stars were completely tired and almost out of breath. Just when all hope seemed lost, one of Paul’s loyal crewmates smuggled brass knuckles to him. Paul used to it knock Mysterio out and pinned him for the count. Paul came out as the victor, with the championship title belt over his shoulders.

Rey Mysterio has always been a fierce fighter at the promotion. He has taken over numerous wrestlers, including Big Show, who is way bigger than him. After defeating such a prominent veteran, things have been turning for him. Paul still might be the heel that almost everyone hates, but prospects for him are good now. The two stars indeed put up a great show, which marked his name as a good storyteller. 

Chances are he might be booked for further matches soon. Considering his pace right now, it might be right for him to aim at other secondary titles such as the Intercontinental Champion. Gunther, who is the current champion, has been holding the title for more than 500 days now. This could help in creating momentum for him to target either the World Heavyweight Championship title or the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship title.
