CLEVELAND, OHIO: YouTube sensation turned professional boxer, Logan Paul, found himself in the midst of some heated WWE drama. The confrontation unfolded on WWE's SmackDown when Paul, who recently entered the world of professional wrestling, came face-to-face with the WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio.
The two are gearing up for a showdown at WWE Crown Jewel 2023, where they will vie for the prestigious United States Championship.
Logan Paul's hilarious comeback
The plot thickened when Santos Escobar, a fellow wrestler and Mysterio's stablemate in the 'Latino World Order', decided to ignite the feud further by taking to Twitter. In a profane and provocative message directed at Logan Paul, Escobar sought to stir the pot and add more spice to the impending showdown.
He wrote, "Gotta say this. F***k Logan Paul."
Not one to shy away from a challenge, Logan Paul didn't take long to respond to Santos Escobar's incendiary tweet. With a playful spirit, he fired back, saying, "Whenever you want Papi." Paul's witty response quickly caught the attention of fans and followers, going viral in no time.
One user wrote, "THIS needs to be trending…" while the other user commented, "Ya moving weird."
Another user wrote, slamming Logan, "Fully agree with this. Nothing personal against him, his character just sucks! Hope Rey beats his behind really good."
A fourth simply said, "Lmfaooo," looking at Logan's response.
Another joked, "I always knew he rolled both ways." "Zesty as hell," said another.
Crown Jewel Showdown and title ambitions
Logan Paul's involvement in the world of professional wrestling has been nothing short of entertaining. After an impressive performance at SummerSlam 2023, where he secured a victory over Ricochet in a singles match, Paul is now setting his sights on Rey Mysterio's United States Championship.
With his recent track record, it's safe to say that wrestling fans can expect an exhilarating battle at the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.
Rey Mysterio, who claimed the coveted United States Title with a victory over Austin Theory on an episode of SmackDown in August, has successfully defended the championship multiple times since then.
As the WWE Universe eagerly anticipates their clash, the question remains: will Mysterio emerge victorious, retaining the United States Title, or will Logan Paul prove that he's not just a YouTube sensation, but a genuine wrestling contender?
