Logan Paul to fight 39-year-old WWE star before Rey Mysterio on SmackDown? Possibility analyzed

Logan Paul is all set to make his comeback on the upcoming edition of WWE SmackDown, where the Maverick will confront Rey Mysterio. The segment was announced after Logan challenged for the United States Championship after his boxing match this past weekend.

However, upon his anticipated return to the blue brand, the YouTube sensation might face Santos Escobar before confronting Rey Mysterio in a title bout. The potential scenario that might unfold could involve Santos Escobar claiming that he deserves another title shot against Rey Mysterio, ahead of Paul. Escobar could mention how, despite the loss to Mysterio, he still remains committed to his goal of becoming the United States Champion.

This could lead to conflict between the two, eventually resulting in a no.1 contender match between Escobar and the Maverick, with the winner earning the right to face Rey Mysterio. However, if this scenario were to unfold, Logan Paul is still highly likely to emerge as the winner and become the no.1 contender for the US title.

The ideal location for a match between The Maverick and Rey Mysterio is Crown Jewel 2023, which is set to take place on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at the Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
