41-year-old Superstar savagely gives a reality check to Logan Paul as he hits 250 days as the US Champion
LA Knight has reminded Logan Paul all he's done keeping a stranglehold on the US Championship.

Despite being the United States Champion, Logan Paul has seldomly been a staple of WWE programming. As of today, he’s clocked 250 days with that title. And not to much of a surprise, The Maverick has defended the gold only twice since gaining its ownership last November at Crown Jewel, where he ousted Rey Mysterio for the coveted strap. A man who has had a closer look at Paul’s recent activities is none other than LA Knight.
Reacting to a post by Wrestle Ops on X about Logan’s paltry title defenses, Knight rated it zero as far as the former’s title reign is concerned. And that’s the exact number of times Paul has beaten The Megastar, added LA. It didn’t take long for the champ to hit back at the erstwhile Eli Drake. The 29-year-old quoted a reply asking LA Knight to do something about it.
The back-and-forth hadn’t quelled just then, as the former TNA Champion said it’s hard to take any action against the boxer-turned-wrestler when he rarely shows up on SmackDown. Knight contemplated whether he should book a flight to Logan’s home once again. The latter was ready with the response, as he told the former Max Dupri that his economy middle seat was waiting for him.

Both of these men have been at loggerheads for quite some time now. The host of IMPAULSIVE has been dodging The Defiant One of late. A few weeks ago on SmackDown at Madison Square Garden, Knight pinned Paul to qualify for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. However, at the PLE this past Saturday in Toronto, LA fell short in his attempt to unhook the briefcase.
Logan Paul vs. LA Knight believed to be the planned route for SummerSlam
With SummerSlam under a month to go, it does seem like Logan Paul will defend his United States title against LA Knight on the show. The PLE is slated to emanate from the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. Paul will enter the August-bound wrestling rendezvous as a local favorite.
However, his presumed foe, Knight, is expected to keep the crowd at bay given his track record of swaying the audience in his favor. This week’s SmackDown might give a vivid picture of what the fans should expect regarding the US title match at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
If it happens, it would be interesting to see if The Maverick would be able to remain unscathed against a laser-focused veteran in Knight. Paul has yet to put that mid-card belt up for grabs since WrestleMania XL, where he nullified his combatants Kevin Owens and Randy Orton just by the skin of the teeth.
