Logan Paul will participate in the men's Elimination Chamber match at the marquee WWE event. Paul earned his place in the contest this week on WWE Raw by defeating Rey Mysterio in the main event. At WrestleMania 41, the winner of that match, which now also features Drew McIntyre, John Cena, and CM Punk, will face Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship.
Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul have a long history together. It was Mysterio who began The Maverick's remarkable run by losing the United States title to Paul in Saudi Arabia. In this week's RAW, the two faced off once more.The first time Paul made his entrance this week was when he interrupted CM Punk's promo. On the microphone, CM Punk clearly stated, “I didn’t even know whose music this was at the time." Nevertheless, before his Netflix debut match, The Maverick went out to talk to Punk and got a lot of criticism. If Logan Paul makes it that far, punk vowed to put him to sleep in Toronto.

Mysterio seized charge against Logan Paul
Early in the battle, Mysterio seized charge and, while the crowd jeered, pushed Paul out of the ring. Ultimately, Paul reversed the momentum and delivered a barrage of blows in the corner that broke Rey's chest and sternum. Throughout the entire match, Paul pounded that body region, but Rey got past it and made the 619. He then attempted a splash from the top rope, but Paul retaliated. Ultimately, Paul won by hitting his Pulveriser finish.
This was a significant victory on RAW, but we will have to wait and see how Logan Paul performs in the Elimination Chamber fight. Paul will compete with Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, and John Cena, who had already qualified, with two more slots available. WWE Elimination Chamber PLE on Saturday, March 1 from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Currently, the men's and women's Elimination Chamber matchups are the only ones advertised for the programme.
