Logan Paul took his WWE belt to a pawn shop straight after winning the United States championship.
The YouTuber turned wrestler came out victorious after he stepped into the ring with the legendary Rey Mysterio on 4 November at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
The win saw him gain notoriety in WWE circles, but also awarded him the iconic Big Gold Belt.

Despite this, Paul has been spotted going to a pawn shop with what appears to be the belt in hand.
And, well, he isn't exactly strapped for cash - Paul revealing the staggering amount Prime drinks turned over in revenue this year and even 'destroying' a $500,00 gold Prime bottle - so why the pawn shop?
In a video uploaded to X by Paul yesterday (13 November) the wrestler can be seen sat down in a pawn shop with his belt.
He says: "I wanted to see how much I could get for this."
"Am I allowed to buy this?" the pawnshop owner questions.
Paul reasons: "I mean if you have a good offer."
The internet personality admits he doesn't know the 'history' behind the belt, but can't help but throw some shade: "I do know it was taken off Rey Mysterio."
Paul then proffers the shopkeeper with an offer of selling the belt for $100,000.
Although, the shopkeeper makes a good point: "Who is supposed to buy from me that?"
Once more, the WWE champion doesn't pass on the opportunity to take a dig at some other wrestlers, suggesting Cody Rhodes or Seth Rollins may want to pop by. Oh, or LA Knight.
Paul then snaps a photo with the pawn shop owner who still looks utterly bewildered by the whole experience - clearly just as confused as everyone online is too.
One Instagram user took the post to write: "Bro trying to pawn off the us title ffs."
"Did they just plant the seed for the LA Knight VS Logan Paul feud???" another added.
Although, a third commented: "This just puts it into perspective how your gonna bring nothing new to the title scene, you’re already devaluing it but saying you don’t know the history. Please be more respectful of something so many people looked up to as kids."
And a fourth echoed: "Someone take the title cause he not even defending it."
Rest assured, it doesn't seem like Paul has actually parted with the belt - which is likely a replica anyway according to one social media user - as one of his recent Instagram posts shows him, fiancée Nina Agdal, and the belt in bed together, as well as him working out and showering with the item.
