At the upcoming King and Queen of the Ring event, Cody Rhodes is gearing up to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against none other than the Social Media Sensation, Logan Paul. The clash was officially confirmed during the latest episode of SmackDown, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown in the ring.
The anticipation for this epic battle heightened when General Manager Nick Aldis revealed the match after Cody’s triumphant title defense against AJ Styles at Backlash France. Meanwhile, on the Jim Cornette Experience, a seasoned wrestling veteran speculated that Logan Paul’s inclusion in the main event scene could be attributed to the event’s location in Saudi Arabia. Cornette emphasized Logan’s immense popularity in the country due to his robust social media presence, drawing parallels to The Maverick’s previous main event appearance against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022.

During the contract signing on SmackDown, tensions flared as Logan Paul cunningly avoided putting his United States Championship on the line against Cody Rhodes. Despite the initial billing of Champion vs. Champion, Logan refuted the idea of defending his title, tearing up the original contract and presenting a new one allegedly prepared by his lawyer. As verbal exchanges ensued between Aldis and Paul, Cody Rhodes eventually had enough of Logan’s antics and inked the contract, solidifying the match’s official status.
The upcoming clash between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul promises a spectacle of athleticism, strategy, and drama in the heart of Saudi Arabia. With the stakes high and tensions escalating, all eyes will be on whether Cody can maintain his composure and emerge victorious against the formidable Logan Paul.
