Rey Mysterio vs Logan Paul US Title Bout Set for WWE Crown Jewel 2023
Rey Mysterio will defend his WWE United States Championship against Logan Paul at Crown Jewel 2023 PLE.
Logan Paul had previously expressed his desire to challenge Rey Mysterio for the WWE United States Championship after defeating Dillon Danis in a boxing match.
During October 20 episode of SmackDown, Logan entered the ring and confidently declared that he had previously triumphed over Mysterio, mentioning his prior win as part of a tag team with The Miz against Dominik and Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 38.
Paul also stated that he had already defeated one absent father, Dillon Danis, and at WWE Crown Jewel on November 4, he intended to add Rey Mysterio to his list of defeated absent fathers.

Rey Mysterio then came to the ring and responded to the challenge by noting that Paul reminded him of his own son, Dominik. Rey also mentioned that he had held back a bit when facing Dominik previously, but he made it clear that he wouldn’t hold back when facing Logan.
Rey then confirmed the match for Crown Jewel. They both shared a handshake before going their separate ways. Rey Mysterio’s last title defense was at September 29 episode of SmackDown where he defeated Santos Escobar.
Logan Paul’s latest WWE match occurred at SummerSlam 2023 PLE, in which he secured a win against Ricochet.
WWE Crown Jewel 2023 PLE is scheduled for November 4, 2023, and it will be live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match is also scheduled for the event, where Roman Reigns will face LA Knight.
