"Saved that man's life" - Logan Paul applauded for saving Rey Mysterio Jr. from landing directly on his head during WWE clash

Logan Paul became the WWE United States Champion at the most recent Crown Jewel event, but the former YouTube star has received more praise for his specific actions during the event.

On November 4, Paul defeated Rey Mysterio Jr. by pinfall at the 2023 Crown Jewel to win his first WWE championship. Paul, however, has received more praise on social media for saving Mysterio from a potentially damaging injury during the match.

Many fans claimed Logan Paul not only saved Rey Mysterio from a long-term injury but could have saved the wrestler from a possibly fatal fall. Yet, other fans disregarded such claims and insisted the 'save' was scripted.

The victory on Saturday was actually Paul's second victory over Mysterio in the ring. Paul and The Miz defeated Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WWE Raw in a tag team match over a year ago.
