Logan Paul has won his first WWE title after defeating Rey Mysterio to become the new United States champion.
The 28-year-old has multiple strings to his bow, being a YouTube star, actor, boxer and now a professional wrestler.
Elder brother of fellow YouTuber and boxer Jake, he has four boxing pay-per-view bouts under his belt.

Two of these have been against fellow YouTuber KSI, as well as bouts against Floyd Mayweather and most recently Dillon Danis, which was on the same card as Tommy Fury against KSI.
Paul has now got another title under his belt after taking part in the WWE Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.
Paul took on Mysterio for the WWE United States Championship. The YouTuber emerged victorious, although it did not come without a measure of controversy surrounding it.

Paul used brass knuckles in the victory, which were handed to him by a member of his team, and in so doing knocked Mysterio out to ensure he would claim the belt for the first time.
After the victory, there was a verbal exchange between Paul and WWE legend Mysterio - and it's fair to say the latter was not happy about the result and the way in which it was accomplished.
Putting his hand on the back of Mysterio's head, Paul said: "I love you, Rey; just doing what I have to do, my man."

But an unhappy Mysterio replied: "You know what you did."
Paul responded: "I don't know what you're talking about; that's fair and square."
Mysterio then reiterated his previous statement to Paul, but the latter simply responded: "You're a legend, Rey. I love you."
This might not be the last we've heard of this one...
