In a backstage segment, Cathy Kelley caught up with ‘The Social Media Megastar ‘ for a brief interview. He answered a couple of questions before snubbing her and walking away. A few steps ahead stood Kevin Owens, leaning against the wall. Interestingly, Owens was wearing Mysterio’s t-shirt.

Paul had recently attacked the WWE Hall of Famer backstage during The Street Profits vs. LWO match. As Paul and Owens crossed paths, the two superstars eyed each other with a stare that could a burn hole through the other’s head. This could mean that Owens might be Paul’s next rival after he is done with Mysterio.

On the Oct. 20 episode of the blue brand, ‘The Social Media Megastar’ made his intentions very clear. He wants to take off the United States Championship that currently sits on Mysterio’s shoulders. The last time he faced the WWE Hall of Famer was WrestleMania 38.

It was a tag team match where he teamed up with The Miz against the father-son duo of Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. It was Paul’s first-ever match, and a lot has changed since then. This time he will take on Mysterio in a singles match.
