Logan Paul captured the WWE United States Championship by defeating Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia today.
The match saw Paul retrieve a pair of brass knuckles from a friend. Mysterio knocked Paul into the ring post and the knux fell to the floor, but Paul’s friend went to pick them back up. Santos Escobar appeared, stood on the foreign object, and then took them away. Escobar placed the brass knuckles on the ring apron and then chased Paul’s lackey away, allowing Paul the chance to take advantage by grabbing the knux and using them to block a 619 for the three count.
This is Paul’s first championship reign since arriving in WWE in April 2021. Mysterio began his third U.S. Championship reign by defeating Austin Theory on the August 11th Smackdown.
