Logan Paul attacks Rey Mysterio to set up WWE WrestleMania 38 appearance

Logan Paul is set for a match at WWE ’s marquee show WrestleMania.

The YouTube sensation, who has made several appearances in the company, showed up on Raw on Monday night for the first time in 2022.

He was a guest on Miz TV and proceeded to get under the skin of the Mysterio family, and claimed he has "pool toys bigger than Rey."

Mysterio's son, Dominick, called Paul a “jacka**” before Paul and Miz attacked the pair and left them laying in the middle of the ring.

Prior to the assault, Miz, who had been fuming following his loss to Mysterio at Elimination Chamber on Saturday, claimed his rival needed help from his son to get the win.

They had a back and forth on the mic until Miz proposed that he and his new tag team partner take on Rey and Dominick at WrestleMania 38, which prompted Paul to come out and the challenge was accepted by Dominick.

This will mark Paul's first WWE match in his second appearance at WrestleMania, following his altercation with Kevin Owens last year, where he was on the receiving end of a brutal Stone Cold Stunner.

After the show, Paul tweeted a video of him delivering Miz's Skull Crushing Finale finishing move to Dominick.

He tweeted: “Damn we just f*ed up the Mysterios,” which has been liked over 20,000 times.

He will compete alongside the eight-time Intercontinental champion at Texas' AT&T Stadium in April, which boasts a capacity of over 100,000.

The 26-year-old will be the latest on a list of celebrities who have competed in matches at WrestleMania.

Mega music artist Bad Bunny teamed up with current US champion Damian Priest to take on The Miz and John Morrison last year.

The Puerto Rican produced arguably the greatest performance from a celebrity in WWE history as he and Priest went on to win.

Paul will be hoping he can emulate the rapper's excellent showing and help Miz emerge victorious after being on the losing end in 2021.

Paul is no stranger to big fights, as he faced the iconic Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition boxing bout last summer.

They fought at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida in what was undoubtedly the greatest moment of Paul's combat career so far.

However, his upcoming performance at the biggest show in wrestling will certainly be up there with his biggest achievements to date.
