Inspired by his uncle’s success, Mysterio began training in the art of lucha libre, mastering the acrobatic maneuvers and high-flying techniques that would later define his career.
Mysterio made his professional wrestling debut in 1989 at the age of 14, under the ring name “La Lagartija Verde” (The Green Lizard). He quickly gained recognition for his impressive athleticism and captivating persona, catching the attention of promoters both in Mexico and the United States.

Logan Paul is the new WWE US Champion after taking down Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. It was an antic-filled match, which saw Paul utilize brass knuckles amongst other tools to take down the Mexican veteran. Paul’s first title comes just over two years after he made his WWE debut. Furthermore, the title comes in just his eighth pro wrestling match.
However, Paul appeared to imply that the title meant a greater focus on the promotion for him. “I think I have to,” Paul said of spending more time on WWE programming. “You’re going to have to watch Raw. You’re going to have to watch SmackDown. I’m going to make some surprise appearances and show these wrestlers who’s the real king.” It’s unclear who his first title defense could come against. That said, everyone from Dominik Mysterio to Bad Bunny has been named as a potential opponent.
Furthermore, Paul took an opportunity to trash talk Dillon Danis in his post-fight interviews. “That was barely a performance. I wouldn’t even call that a fight. Tonight was a fight. Tonight was hard. I’m telling you, bro. I’m winded. I feel like I really earned this. So, I see these comments online. ‘Logan Paul, spoon-fed, silver spoon in his mouth. Everything’s been given to him his whole life. He hasn’t earned it.’ I would do more in 12 hours than most people do in 12 months. My blueprint cannot be duplicated, bro. My pace is unmatched. I’m not playing the same game as the other people. I’ve beaten the matrix and I’m the architect,” Paul said.
Last month, in the days after their controversial boxing match, Danis filed an appeal against the fight result. However, Paul was dismissive of the former MMA fighter. “Embarrassing & desperate. What’s the appeal? He tried to take me down – failed, he tried to choke me out – failed. He didn’t even try to fight back, he just took his ass beating like a bitch. Dude really thinks he can handle everything online. He should just accept the loss like a man & move on with his pathetic life,” Paul wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in response to the news. Furthermore, over half of the DAZN Prime Card matches are currently under investigation for an appeal.
Logan Paul slammed Dillon Danis as a “true coward” after defeating him through a sixth-round disqualification in their fight on Saturday night in Manchester, England. Making the comments during his post-fight interview, he also called out WWE star Rey Mysterio.
“Dillon Danis truly is a coward,” Paul said during a post-fight interview. “Just a dirty, dirty human being. … This (training) camp was so hard. Dealing with a guy like that was not easy. He’s a true demon, a true coward. I forgave Dillon before this fight started. It was the only way to attack this fight without emotion. … But he was calling himself a real fighter? … Conor McGregor, you see that?” Danis tried to perform a guillotine takedown, which led to the disqualification.

Later in the interview, Paul called out WWE superstar Rey Mysterio. “This is a hobby for me,” Paul said. “My true passion, I’m a WWE superstar. … I’m an American boy, and I want that U.S. title. Rey Mysterio, I already beat you once and I’m coming for that U.S. championship.” Mysterio responded on Twitter afterward. “Did @loganpaul just call me out? I’m not hard to find homie,” he wrote. “Every Friday Night on SmackDown.” The shot comes as Paul is expected to return to the WWE at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 4. The last time he competed was at SummerSlam at Ford Field in Detroit on August 5.
Jake Paul was also in attendance at Logan’s fight and even jumped in the ring as a fight broke out with security in the sixth round. Earlier this year, he defeated Nate Diaz to advance to 7-1 in his own boxing career. Be on the lookout for further updates on the Paul brothers on HotNewHipHop.
