Logan Paul, the internet personality turned professional boxer, fulfilled his wish of competing for the WWE U.S. title and emerged victorious in a championship matchup against Rey Mysterio at WWE's Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.

Paul, who had recently defeated Dillon Danis at Misfits Boxing's The PRIME Card, used his post-fight microphone time to call out Mysterio for a shot at the prestigious title. His request was granted, leading to an action-packed showdown between the two athletes.

The championship match was filled with a display of athleticism and high-flying moves from both Paul and Mysterio. The luchador extraordinaire, Mysterio, prepared to execute his signature "619" finishing move in an attempt to seal the victory. However, little did he know that Paul had a controversial trick up his sleeve.

As Mysterio leaped off the top rope, aiming to cement his triumph, Paul seized the opportunity and utilized a pair of brass knuckles. With an unexpected strike, Paul connected with Mysterio, securing the pinfall and claiming the U.S. title for the first time in his wrestling career.

The electrifying moment of Paul's championship win at WWE Crown Jewel was widely shared on social media platforms. WWE's official Twitter account (@WWE) posted the video, capturing the reactions of fans worldwide.

Since joining the WWE, Logan Paul has consistently delivered exceptional performances inside the squared circle. His previous battles include a thrilling encounter with Universal Champion Roman Reigns at the 2022 Crown Jewel event. In April, Paul inked a new multi-year deal, solidifying his commitment to the top professional wrestling promotion.

While it remains unclear how frequently Paul will appear on WWE television and premium live events moving forward, capturing the U.S. title undoubtedly hints at his potential involvement in the upcoming 2024 WrestleMania season. Wrestling enthusiasts will be eagerly watching to see how Paul's WWE journey unfolds, anticipating captivating storylines and memorable in-ring moments in the months to come.
