WWE Raw: Logan Paul feels the ‘yeet,' as Jey Uso hits him with a superkick ahead of their title match at Smackdown
WWE Raw: Influencer-turned-professional wrestler Logan Paul walked out to a sold-out Greenville crowd at last night's Raw, and tried to rile up the audience for his upcoming title match with Jey Uso. As the crowd refused to hear him out and kept chanting 'yeet' in support of Jey, Paul became visibly frustrated, and to add to his problems, the former heavyweight champion Gunther came out to give his two cents.
Logan started the segment by pointing out some 'facts,' for the crowd while addressing himself in the third person, emulating The Rock. 'Jey Uso has eyes on everyone in this company except for Logan Paul. My favourite fact of them all is that I have knocked out Jey 3 times, I have left him unconcious, flatlined and face-first on the floor. Guess what? sorry Greenville, I am going to do it again this Saturday.' Before Paul could finish his last sentence about becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion, the 'Ring General' Gunther interrupted him.

Gunther had previously announced that he was going to face the winner of the match between Jey and Logan, and even though the crowd started mocking him for tapping out at Wrestlemania 41, Gunther proceeded to focus his attention on Paul. He said, 'You seem very confident that you can beat the guy, that beat me for my World Heavyweight Championship. So I need to assume that you believe, you're better than me.' Gunther acknowledged Paul's confidence and admitted that people in the company owe him more respect.
He added that the WWE might just be another 'business' or means to an end for Paul, but it is extremely personal to him. 'It might be a business to you, but it is very personal to me, beating Jey Uso for the title is personal to me and if you take that away from me, I will take that as disrespect.' Gunther warned Paul of the consequences of winning his match on Smackdown and started walking away from the ring. As distance between the two superstars grew, Paul became more vocal but Gunther started smiling as Jey Uso made his way into the ring, Logan having no idea of hid presence.
Cheers from the crowd grew as Logan turned right into a superkick by Jey. The current heavyweight champion stood over Logan and said, 'I am going to see you on Saturday, and Gunther, I am going to see you in Phoenix. The Monday Night Raw, where Gunther will face the winner of the match on Saturday will take place in Phoenix on June 9.

Rey Mysterio details double injury setback before WrestleMania 41
Image via WWE WWE legend Rey Mysterio has opened up about a pair of injuries that kept him out of action during WrestleMania 41, shedding light on his sudden removal from a planned singles match against El Grande Americano. The high-flying veteran was originally slated to face the masked alter ego of Chad Gable at the marquee event. However, on the final episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania, Mysterio suffered a torn groin and was pulled from the card. Speaking to Jim Varsallone in a recent interview, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he was also dealing with a busted eardrum at the time. Rey Mysterio keeps the heat on 'I'm actually still recovering from the injury I suffered just before WrestleMania - a torn groin and a busted eardrum. But I still love what I do,' said Mysterio, who was recently honored with the Legend Impact Award at the National Hispanic Media Coalition's Impact Gala. Rey Mysterio, Brenda Victoria Castillo talk National Hispanic MC Legend Impact Award, WWE, AAA, Dom The 49-year-old was replaced by Rey Fenix in the WrestleMania bout, where the babyface team - also featuring Dragon Lee. emerged victorious over American Made. Despite being sidelined, Mysterio's interview has kept him in the headlines, thanks to a light-hearted jab aimed at his on-screen son, Dominik Mysterio. While the injuries sidelined him physically, Mysterio remained sharp on the mic. During a rapid-fire segment in the same interview, he was asked if Dominik could ever surpass his legacy in AAA Wrestling. Without missing a beat, Rey leaned into their long-running WWE storyline: 'Dirty Dom? Dirty Dom needs a spanking with a chancla and a belt.' The culturally resonant quip, referencing a common Latino disciplinary tool, drew laughter from the hosts but also sent a clear message - the family feud is far from over. WWE x AAA: Could the rivalry spill into 'Worlds Collide'? The timing of Mysterio's comment is interesting, especially in the context of WWE's recent acquisition of AAA Wrestling, a historic move that opens doors for crossover rivalries and fresh storylines. The upcoming WWE x AAA: Worlds Collide event is being promoted as a celebration of global wrestling styles and legacies, with both Rey and Dominik Mysterio prominently featured in the early marketing campaigns. Dom Mysterio talks WWE Tampa Takeover, IC Win, Attitude Era, Judgment Day, Carlito, AAA, Omos, Miami Although Rey has not disclosed whether he'll be wrestling or appearing in a different capacity, fans are already speculating that the father-son feud could take center stage at the international showcase. Rey's deep roots in lucha libre and Dominik's current run as Intercontinental Champion present a compelling contrast, offering creative opportunities for a legacy vs. rebellion narrative to unfold on a bigger stage. Dominik, now firmly entrenched in his heel persona as part of The Judgment Day, has not shied away from provocation. In a separate interview, he boldly claimed to have already eclipsed his father's legacy in WWE and expressed a desire to 'sh** all over Rey Mysterio' in AAA as well. The comment raised eyebrows and further fueled fan interest in a possible in-ring confrontation. For now, both stars remain on separate paths - but in the world of professional wrestling, it often takes just one moment to bring everything crashing back together. Fans will be watching closely to see whether that moment arrives at Worlds Collide.

R-Truth's net worth and contract details: How much did the WWE legend make?
The WWE released veteran wrestler R-Truth, 17 years after he joined the company and went on to establish himself as a fan favourite. R-TRUTH made the announcement through a post on the social media platform X. "I'm sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE," he said Sunday. "I want to thank WWE for the ride, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride. Thank you for all the love, support, and appreciation you have given me over the years. Thank you," the post by R-Truth read. R-Truth's release by the WWE happened as his contract with the company was due to expire and would not be renewed beyond that point. But he has nevertheless carved out a decent net worth for himself. Here is a bird's eye view of R-Truth's net worth and contract details: Ronnie Aaron Killings, better known by his ring name R-Truth, has a staggering net worth of around $3 million, according to a report by Sportskeeda. In the business, R-Truth was primarily endorsed by WWE merchandise sales, WWE shops, and 2K Games. He was also endorsed by the clothing brand Cult of Individuality and featured on the front cover of Your Voice Hip Hop magazine. According to reports, R-Truth's annual salary as part of his WWE contract was $550,000. R-Truth's release ends his second stint with the WWE, which began in 2008. He had a two-year stint in WWE from 1999-2001, but became a prominent star during his time with TNA Wrestling from 2002-07. Although he never won the WWE Championship, R-Truth's 17-year run was memorable. While he first connected with fans as he rapped his entrance music with the "what's up?" chant, he was known for being one of the best comedic wrestlers in the business. He constantly brought laughter to segments and made fellow talent break character on-air. The 53-year-old faced John Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24. Cena defeated R-Truth in what would be his last WWE match as he retired after the clash.
