CLEVELAND, OHIO: Logan Paul's shocking WWE title win defeating Rey Mysterio at the Crown Jewel 2023 event on November 4, has divided the WWE Universe.

In a surprising turn of events, Logan Paul claimed his first major title at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, sparking a range of reactions from the WWE Universe.

The influencer-turned-boxer, who recently defeated Dillon Danis in an influencer boxing event, squared off against WWE superstar Rey Mysterio in a singles match.

Logan Paul's Crown Jewel win evokes mixed reactions

The WWE Universe reacted to Logan Paul's victory with a wide range of emotions.

Some fans criticized Logan Paul's tactics and the use of brass knuckles, while others found humor in the punch that appeared not to connect with Rey Mysterio. Many viewers were pleased with Logan's in-ring performance and WWE's intriguing twist in the storyline.

The match garnered mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing their dissatisfaction with Rey's title reign, suggesting they were glad to see a change. Observant fans even noticed a subtle detail when Santos Escobar left the brass knuckles in the ring, providing Logan with an opportunity to retrieve them and secure the victory.

The WWE Universe's reactions to Logan Paul's WWE United States Championship win at Crown Jewel were as diverse as the match itself. Here are some of the comments from fans:

One user expressed admiration and support, saying, "That was fair and square, you're a legend, love you."

Another user praised Logan Paul's wrestling skills, noting, "Once again, Dude can wrestle better than a lot of dudes nowadays."

Speculation arose about future matchups, with a fan suggesting, "Thought Santos was gonna turn. LOGAN IS A GREAT PRO WRESTLER. Santos Vs Logan next?"

A fan with a humorous take commented, "Bruh Logan Paul just saved Rey's life." 

The duality of opinions about Logan Paul was evident, with one user stating, "As a person, Logan Paul sucks. As a wrestler, Logan Paul is really freaking good."

Logan Paul hints at more WWE appearances

With just eight career pro wrestling matches under his belt, Paul's journey in WWE has been relatively short, but he has become a prominent presence on major WWE shows for the past year and a half. Winning a WWE title fulfilled a 'bucket list' moment for the multi-talented influencer.

Throughout his WWE journey, Logan Paul has primarily been a part-time contributor to the promotion. However, after his title win, he hinted at the possibility of making more frequent appearances. Defending the title requires a more significant commitment, and Paul acknowledged the need to dedicate more time to WWE programming.

"I think I have to," Paul stated regarding his increased involvement with WWE. "You're going to have to watch Raw. You're going to have to watch SmackDown. I'm going to make some surprise appearances and show these wrestlers who's the real king."

Despite winning the WWE United States Championship, Paul acknowledged that his encounter with Rey Mysterio was far more physically demanding than his recent boxing match against Dillon Danis, which he won via disqualification. He described the wrestling match as a genuine fight and expressed his sense of accomplishment, contrasting it with the perception that he's had an easy path in life.

Paul, at 28 years old, continues to diversify his career and is venturing further into the world of professional wrestling, creating both excitement and debate among fans and the WWE Universe.
