Logan Paul sends bold message ahead of first match in 133 days on WWE SmackDown

Tonight's WWE SmackDown is set to be a blockbuster episode as the company returns to Madison Square Garden in New York City. This will be a big night for Logan Paul for multiple reasons, and now he's sharing a ringside photo and a special message ahead of the show.

WWE's current United States Champion previously made his debut at The World's Most Famous Arena during RAW on July 25, 2022. The show opened with Paul and The Miz brawling throughout the building. Later, he hosted a special MSG edition of Impaulsive TV but was attacked by Miz and Tommaso Ciampa.

Now, the social media megastar will make his in-ring debut at The Garden as he faces LA Knight and Santos Escobar in a non-title Triple Threat qualifier for the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

The Maverick took to X to hype tonight's big match as he tries to qualify for his second MITB Ladder Match. The 29-year-old shared a ringside photo from rehearsals and revealed that wrestling at MSG is a dream come true.

"Wrestling at Madison Square Garden tonight. Dream come true [red heart emoji] @WWE," Logan Paul wrote with the photo below.

The Maverick has not wrestled on SmackDown since defeating The Miz in an Elimination Chamber qualifier on February 16. His last match came at King and Queen of the Ring on May 25 as he failed to capture the WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes. Paul has not defended his United States Championship since defeating Randy Orton and Kevin Owens during Night Two of WrestleMania XL.
