With that, the upcoming match at Crown Jewel 2023 seemed evident to be made, official.

Another title match was revealed for Crown Jewel 2023 on Smackdown which will be contested for the United States Championship. Logan Paul challenged the reigning champion Rey Mysterio right after he beat Dillon Danis in Manchester.
