Logan Paul warned Rey Mysterio about potential match
Logan Paul had recently given Rey Mysterio a warning before their fight at the Crown Jewel VIP live event. Paul will face Mysterio in the next exhibition in Saudi Arabia for the United States Championship.
Paul declared on his IMPAULSIVE podcast that he will defeat Mysterio to win the United States Championship. The Maverick wouldn't stop himself from hitting the Hall of Famer in the face a couple times, despite his claims that he respects Mysterio.
Paul remarked, "I'm coming for you bro, you're looking at the future US champ right here. Unfortunately, I got to take it from Rey Mysterio, the legend. I might have to punch him in the face a few times but... yeah, it s**ks."
He went on to say, "I love Rey Mysterio as a wrestler. I respect Rey, how can you not? He's one of the greatest and surely the greatest luchador of all time. He just has something I need."
Paul and Gunther might face up in a Champion vs Champion match at Survivor Series if Paul prevails at Crown Jewel.
