Rey Mysterio ready to throw challenge at Logan Paul

In response to Corey Graves' query, Rey admitted that he still has unfinished business with The Maverick. He stated that he had a list of opponents set for 2024, which included the names of Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio.

"Most definitely. I've already started my 2024 list. Santos is there, Dominik is there, and whoever wants to get added to the list, just jump on board."

During the same conversation, Rey made it obvious that he gave Logan Paul credit. He implied that the social media sensation had rapidly grasped the business and was doing everything he could to build a reputation for himself.

"Logan is doing what he needs to do for himself to become the superstar that he is now. You know, I give him credit for it. I can't take that away from him either."
