Logan Paul wins first WWE championship title against wrestling legend Rey Mysterio Twitter: LoganPaulLogan Paul has done it, cementing his name in WWE history after winning the title and landing a brass knuckles punch on wrestling legend Rey Mysterio. Logan Paul has proven himself, the influencer-turned-wrestler taking home his first-ever United States Championship in WWE. Returning to wrestling with the single goal of dethroning Rey Mysterio, Paul made his appearance at the Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Despite having had only eight career pro-wrestling matches under his belt beforehand, Paul was able to take home the belt with the help of a pair of brass knuckles \u2014 an addition to the match that might not have been entirely legal. The brass knuckles had been handed to Paul by a member of his entourage, only for them to be knocked out of his hands after Mysterio noticed. LWO partner Santos Escobar was able to chase away Paul\u2019s entourage but failed to remove the brass knuckles from the edge of the ring, allowing Paul an opportunity to steal the win. Unaware that the knuckles had been reclaimed into Paul\u2019s possession, Mysterio looked on course to successfully defend his title after pulling off his iconic 619 finishing move on the YouTuber. However, Mysterio was caught with a brutal punch in the midst of detonating a Springboard Senton on the 28-year-old. The final blow struck, and Paul pinned Mysterio before being handed the belt. Mysterio was evidently not impressed that Paul\u2019s win was aided by brass knuckles, telling him, \u201cYou know what you did.\u201d But Paul\u2019s high spirits could not be dulled as he labeled the win a \u201cbucket list\u201d moment. \u201cI\u2019ve been seeing a lot of you saying I have been spoon-fed; that this title was given to me, that I haven\u2019t earned it, let\u2019s get one thing straight, I\u2019m from Cleveland, everything is earned, nothing is given,\u201d Paul said after the match. \u201cI work harder than your minds can even comprehend, I do more in 12 hours than you do in 12 months, my blueprint cannot be duplicated, my pace is unmatched.\u201d Promising that winning the WWE belt was \u201cjust the beginning,\u201d Paul stated, \u201cI\u2019m not playing the same game as you all, I\u2019ve beaten the Matrix, I am the architect.\u201d Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
