Logan Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, has won his first championship in WWE after getting the better of the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at the Crown Jewel PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. On Saturday, November 4, the 28-year-old became the new United States Champion after pinning the masked luchador, just a year after coming up short against Roman Reigns in the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match at the same event.
At Mohammed Abdu Arena, Logan Paul and Rey Mysterio put on a show in front of the Saudi fans during an epic WWE United States Championship match. Some of impressive moves from Paul included a Buckshot Lariat, a fallaway slam from the top rope, while Mysterio delivered his usual array of offensive moves, but the young upstart used the brass knuckles to end the contest, garnering more heat than ever before in the WWE.
