Logan Paul is still riding a wave of momentum as WWE United States Champion. He has a match set for WrestleMania 40, but it may not be the circumstances that he prefers, because he’s in a triple threat situation.
The Maverick recently took a chance to break down his WrestleMania match during his Impaulsive podcast. He had a lot to say about Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, and he doesn’t seem too shaken up about the possibility of losing his belt.
The Match Set-Up
Last week on SmackDown, Randy Orton and Grayson Waller engaged in singles action. Logan Paul provided commentary, but the situation escalated after the match. Orton found himself outnumbered, seemingly becoming the prey rather than the predator.
However, Kevin Owens’ entrance music played, signaling his arrival. Sensing trouble, Logan Paul sought refuge as KO came to Orton’s aid. With the heels retreating, Nick Aldis made his presence felt, asserting his authority as GM. He arranged a WrestleMania triple threat match for the US Title, with Logan defending against Owens and Orton.
The Maverick Responds
Logan Paul fired back on this segment through his TikTok account. He called Kevin Owens a “human bowling ball” and also dragged Orton a bit by rubbing it in how he took him out of the Elimination Chamber match with some brass knuckles.
In the end, LP said that WWE booked two guys that he already ticked off to face him at WrestleMania. This might be a tough spot to be in, but he isn’t afraid of the situation. In the end, he said that he won’t get “gang banged” at WrestleMania.
Logan Paul brought a lot of eyes to WWE with his involvement with the company. Some would say that he was born to be a heel in WWE, and he is certainly making the most of every opportunity he is given.
Logan Paul’s Road as WWE US Champion
On October 14, 2023, following his victory over Dillon Danis in a boxing match at MF & DAZN: X Series 10 – The Prime Card, Paul publicly called out United States Champion Rey Mysterio. Then, on the October 20, 2023, episode of SmackDown, Mysterio agreed to Paul’s challenge for a title match at Crown Jewel. During the event on November 4, Paul claimed the United States Championship by employing brass knuckles against Mysterio, marking his inaugural WWE championship win.
Paul when went on to defend his title against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble event. During that match, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller provided Paul with brass knuckles to employ against Owens. In an interesting turn of events, Owens ended up using the knuckles on Paul instead. However, the referee detected Owens holding the knuckles, resulting in Paul retaining the title via disqualification.
