According to Sportskeeda's latest report, Konna spoke highly about Logan Paul's decision to challenge Rey Mysterio, who is currently the reigning WWE United States Champion in his third reign.

During the previous "Keeping' It 100," Konnan said that Logan Paul's challenge to Rey Mysterio was a very smart thing to do.

He explained that it was a genius marketing technique, which already allowed the boxer to receive more attention for the upcoming match at Crown Jewel.

"But that's smart. Logan is smart. He's talking about WWE," said the veteran wrestler.

"He goes, 'I might quit and go to WWE full time. First guy I want is Rey Mysterio.' That's why these guys are where they're at," added Konnan.

As of writing, Logan Paul hasn't won any WWE championship. Although this is the case, he already has experience, thanks to his previous fight against Roman Reigns at the WWE Crown Jewel in 2022.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer was also able to face Mysterio. However, he only defeated the WWE champion on "The Grandest Stage of Them All" because it was a tag-team match with The Miz.

Rey Mysterio already accepted the challenge of Logan Paul since their match is scheduled on Nov. 4. Now, the only remaining thing that Logan must do is to prove that he is worthy of the WWE United States Champion title.
