WWE Crown Jewel featured notable developments, including Logan Paul securing a victory over Rey Mysterio to claim the United States Championship. Mysterio also made history in the process.
That big win for Logan Paul came about after Santos Escobar unintentionally passed Paul the brass knuckles, which he used to clinch the victory. That just left The Maverick to celebrate in Saudi Arabia.
With his newfound title, Logan Paul is now set his sights exclusively on SmackDown. Previously, he had a free-agent status, but given the resurgence of the brand split, it appears he will be firmly associated with the blue brand.
Although there was some speculation about him returning to RAW since he briefly aligned with Dominik Mysterio during his previous appearance, it is improbable that he will shift to the red brand, as it already has Intercontinental Champion Gunther on its roster.
The presence of Logan Paul on SmackDown could be significant, especially considering the likelihood of Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns having an inconsistent presence on Friday nights in the upcoming months. The fact that he is a big draw in a demographic that WWE wants to capture is also a huge selling point.
Logan Paul has a ton of fans, and a lot of them may really enjoy seeing him as United States Champion. Only time will tell how long Logan Paul holds onto that title, but he certainly made a lot of noise already.
