Rey Mysterio teases the return of 28-year-old star this week on WWE SmackDown
A WWE Superstar recently called out the United States Champion Rey Mysterio. In response to the call out, the Hall Of Famer stated that he would confront the 28-year-old on the upcoming episode of SmackDown.
The WWE star in question is Logan Paul. The famous YouTuber recently defeated Dillon Danis on his return to boxing. Following the match, he called out Rey Mysterio and expressed his desire to beat the veteran for his United States Championship title.
During a recent interview with The MMA Hour, Mysterio expressed his desire to go face-to-face with Paul this Friday on SmackDown and listen to what the latter has to say.
"Yeah he [Logan Paul] did call me out, like okay, I am not hard to find. You can find me every Friday night on Smackdown. So, I can not wait to find out what he has to say," Mysterio said.
