What stole the match other than Paul’s win and in-ring performance was his ring awareness. During a moment in the match, Mysterio pulled a somersault from the side rope that was badly timed. But Logan Paul showed great awareness by catching Rey Mysterio mid-way to deliver a power slam.
“I got the bug,” he said. “I’m doing these things and this comes so much more natural to me than boxing. People tell me I belong here, I actually feel like I belong. I have the opportunity to go after these champions and win these belts, I don’t know how many humans get this opportunity, I might have to take this.”
During the Crown Jewel event, Paul impressed with his dazzling in-ring acrobatics.
The win comes after some back-and-forth trash talking between both opponents prior to the bout. Paul first called out Mysterio after winning his exhibition boxing match against Dillon Danis in Manchester, England on Oct. 14.
“This is a hobby for me,” Paul taunted, adding that his true passion was being a WWE superstar. “I’m an American boy, and I want that U.S. title,” he said. “Rey Mysterio, I already beat you once and I’m coming for that U.S. championship.”
“He’s been doing really good in the ring. He just won a fight, so his opting level was at a peak. His adrenaline was going. I think he felt very comfortable,” the masked wrestler said. “The question is, will he be comfortable when we decide to make this match?”
Mysterio also noted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was “not hard to find, homie. Every Friday night on SmackDown.” Paul replied, “See you soon.”
