Logan Paul vs. LA Knight United States title match official for WWE SummerSlam
The United States title match for SummerSlam is official.
On SmackDown, Logan Paul agreed to defend the title against LA Knight on August 3. This follows the contract signing that took place on Friday’s show.
Paul initially balked at the idea of defending the title against Knight. He called Knight by his given name Shaun, telling him that he isn’t “him” and accused Knight of copying The Rock. Knight shot back, saying that Paul’s brother Jake had the balls to face Mike Tyson but Logan didn’t have the balls to face Knight. That caused Paul to sign the contract, telling Knight that he’ll take everything away from him at SummerSlam, including the “yeah” catchphrase.
Knight has been trying to get the attention of Paul in recent weeks, including showing up to Paul’s home in Puerto Rico in an attempt to get a United States title match.
Here’s the current SummerSlam card with both official and expected matches based on recent TV:
- WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes defends against Solo Sikoa
- WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damien Priest defends against Gunther
- WWE Women’s Champion Bayley defends against Nia Jax
- WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan defends against Rhea Ripley
