Logan Paul had created history at Crown Jewel after he ended Rey Mysterio’s third reign as the United States Champion. The internet celebrity gave a tough fight to the master of six-one-nine as he foiled Mysterio’s multiple attempts to pin him. With the help of his loyal crewmate, Paul was able to defeat the veteran. But his celebration on the internet drew some criticism at the latest episode of SmackDown.
Logan Paul being called a psychopath
On the 11/10 episode of SmackDown, Kevin Owens joined the commentary panel for a while. There he talked about multiple things but what stood out was his verdict on Logan Paul’s latest photo shoot. Owens said, “I wouldn’t take a picture with the title while in the shower ’cause I’m not a psychopath”, criticizing The Maverick’s actions.

Following his win at Crown Jewel, Paul decided to show off his new title belt to the internet. He posted various pictures with the belt on the internet in many situations. The photos ranged from him sleeping with the belt to him taking a shower with the belt. It could be safe to say that Owens might have been offended by the actions of the 28-year-old star.
While the photos might seem harmless, Paul did indeed pull a risky move. This might affect his relationship with WWE and. who knows, might end up with him losing his championship belt sooner rather than later.
What might happen to Logan Paul?
Kevin Owens did indeed have a solid reason to call Paul a psychopath. Maybe psychopath is an exaggerated term, but still, Paul should not have done something so risque with the belt. WWE is in its PG era and gone are the days when the promotion used R-rated themes willingly.

Now the audience of the sport has changed and there are much younger fans taking part in the fanfare surrounding the sport. Due to this, the promotion tries to keep things as clean as possible. Even though WWE has not responded to these pictures yet, there is a 50/50 chance that they may take serious action against him.
In the past, a few of the other champions, such as Shawn Michaels and Mandy Rose, did the same with their belts. However, there was no action taken against them. But this time around, it could be used as a plotline to start a feud between Kevin Owens and Logan Paul.
