Ricochet in AEW After WWE Exit, Booking Logan Paul vs. LA Knight, More Quick Takes | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

WWE has finally taken the proper steps in recent weeks to build toward LA Knight vs. Logan Paul, a feud fans have been highly anticipating for some time.

Knight was stuck spinning his wheels for the first half of 2024 but now has direction with the United States Championship firmly in his sights. He was always the ideal candidate to end Paul's reign, which dates back to November's Crown Jewel where he won it from Rey Mysterio.

There's no reason to rush the rivalry by having their first one-on-one encounter take place at Clash at Castle, though. Money in the Bank on July 6 would be a more appropriate event to host that clash, but that shouldn't be where The Megastar takes the title from the YouTuber.

Knight and Paul have shown that their chemistry is strong enough to carry a two-month program until SummerSlam.

The titleholder picking up a tainted win over Knight would give him yet another thing to boast about as well as make the audience want to see the babyface beat him that much more.

All roads lead to SummerSlam, emanating from Paul's home state of Ohio. There, Knight can capture the championship to culminate their storyline, almost exactly one year removed from the SummerSlam Slim Jim Battle Royal win that catapulted him into superstardom.
