Logan Paul has reflected on his United States Title victory, claiming that this is just the start for him in WWE.
Last night at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, fans watched on as Logan Paul had his first taste of gold in WWE since joining the company in April 2022. The social media star defeated Rey Mysterio by using brass knuckles and can now call himself the United States Champion despite only having eight matches to this point.
Now, sitting down with Alex McCarthy of MailOnline Sport, Paul has reflected on his victory over the LWO leader, beginning in a humble manner but soon stating that he wants to take over the professional wrestling industry.
“It’s crazy. I really don’t know how to comprehend what my life has become. I grew up in a city where things like this didin’t really happen. I believe in myself, I work my a** off and next thing I know I’m fighting Rey Mysterio for the US championship and I won it.
“It feels amazing. I’m shocked and I want to stay humble but f*** that, it’s so much more fun to be arrogant about it! This [belt] ain’t leaving my side. This is one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. I’m gonna take over this industry bro. I’m gonna be the best and I’ve got to keep work really hard.”

Then, Paul began to think about what he could go on to achieve in WWE. Having lost to Roman Reigns at last year’s iteration of Crown Jewel, the 28-year-old made it clear that he is interested in becoming the Undisputed Universal Champion in the future which in turn would make him the face of the company.
“Something is so appetising about the idea of doing the best I can in this industry and I know the best I can is to become the face of the WWE, is to become the Undisputed Universal Champion
“I had an opportunity to do it last year at Crown Jewel against Roman (Reigns) and I did amazing. I’m still a rookie, I’ve been doing it for a year and a half, so imagine if I dedicate a little time to it.
“Imagine if I go to the performance centre in Orlando and train with the best? I have access to the best resources. It might be something I have to do, I’m all about legacy and perhaps my legacy is to be made to WWE.”

To close, Logan discussed what it’s like to work with Triple H on the creative decisions behind his WWE run. Paul had nothing but praise for how The Game has received his ideas and said that they collaborate together well.
“We bounce ideas off each other, we go back and forth and usually land on stuff that’s pretty epic. It’s super collaborative and I like that they give me the freedom to be who I am in their company.”
