The long-awaited grudge match between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul finally took place at the AO Arena in Manchester, England, this Saturday. The latter handed out a humiliating defeat to Danis. After the heated boxing match, The Maverick declared that he is coming for WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio and his United States Championship.

The legendary luchador didn’t hesitate to answer Logan Paul’s challenge. Taking to his X handle, Rey Mysterio said, “Did @loganpaul just call me out? I’m not hard to find homie. Every Friday Night on SmackDown.” The 48-year-old said he is not difficult to find, giving somewhat of an open invitation to The Maverick to show up on the blue brand.

Rey Mysterio is currently enjoying his third reign as the United States Champion. The WWE veteran defeated Austin Theory to win the title on the August 11 edition of SmackDown. However, his only title defense so far had been against his protege, Santos Escobar. It looks like Logan Paul has finally set his eyes on Mysterio’s gold and is coming for it.

The bitter rivalry between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis came to a crescendo on October 14. In an outright one-sided match, The Maverick thoroughly dominated his opponent.

Speaking in the post-match interview, a fired-up Logan Paul said, “Hey Conor, you see that? I took your little b***, put him on a leash, took him for a walk. May be Conor wants to stand up for his b*** I’ll fight him next. Where you at little leprechaun? The Maverick openly called out the UFC legend for a fight.

McGregor remained a staunch supporter of Dillon Danis throughout his antagonistic rivalry with Logan Paul. However, the 35-year-old failed to show up at the match venue to stand in his friend’s corner. In addition to this, Paul made his intent clear about challenging WWE veteran Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship.
