The Social Media Megastar Logan Paul made his much-awaited return to WWE this week. Paul appeared on SmackDown to deliver an outstanding segment as he challenged Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship. The Maverick, in his segment, mocked Rey a couple of times, referring to his feud with his son Dominik. To back the Master of 619, his protégé, Santos Escobar, abused Logan Paul on X.

In the grilling segment of SmackDown, Logan Paul made fun of how Rey’s relationship with Dominik Mysterio turned out after their last confrontation. The Maverick was harsh on Mysterio during the war of words. Santos Escobar on X posted a message for Paul immediately following SmackDown. This is what Santos Escobar had to say about Logan Paul:

 Gotta say this. F*CK @LoganPaul.

Santos Escobar is Rey Mysterio’s protégé in their faction, LWO. The two have been together for a considerable time now in WWE. Therefore, Escobar couldn’t stop himself from taking the fight to Logan Paul after he made fun of the Hall of Famer.

On SmackDown, Logan Paul said that he had already beaten Rey Mysterio. However, he wants the United States title off of him. Therefore, Paul challenged Rey for the championship at Crown Jewel. Mysterio, in return, went on to say that he thinks The Maverick needs some humbling. The two made the match official, as they ended up shaking hands with each other.

The two stars are set to face each other for the prestigious United States title at Crown Jewel. This is the first time the two will face each other in a singles match. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the match, as there can be some involvement from Rey Mysterio’s faction, LWO, and Santos Escobar leading up to the buildup for the match.

On SmackDown, The Maverick mocked Danis, saying he wasn’t a match for him. He then said it would be in a WWE ring if he wanted competition. Logan has regularly trolled his lackluster match against Dillon Danis, as he did on SmackDown. Then, he switched his focus to Reigns and Knight. This is what he said about them:

The last time I wrestled Rey Mysterio, Roman Reigns actually showed up to wrestle. The last time I wrestled Rey Mysterio, LA Knight didn't even have a job.

It is going to be interesting to see if Logan receives good competition in WWE or not. He is ready to face the legendary Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
