The WWE universe was abuzz last night as Cody Rhodes opened SmackDown with a bold message, addressing his upcoming title match against Logan Paul at the King and Queen of the Ring premium live event in Saudi Arabia. The American Nightmare, fresh from successfully defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against AJ Styles at Backlash in France, was informed by General Manager Nick Aldis that the United States Champion Logan Paul would be his next challenger.
What’s more, Cody Rhodes took to social media to confirm that the highly anticipated match will indeed be a Winner Takes All bout, with both titles on the line. This development has sent shockwaves throughout the WWE community, with fans eagerly anticipating the showdown between two of the promotion’s top stars.
The stakes couldn’t be higher, with the WWE and United States Championships hanging in the balance. The implications are significant, with WWE veteran Dutch Mantell suggesting that the company could potentially retire the United States Championship if Cody Rhodes emerges victorious.
Logan Paul, meanwhile, has been on a roll since capturing the United States Championship from Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel 2023. The social media star has successfully defended his title twice, first against Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble 2024 and again in a thrilling Triple Threat affair against The Prizefighter and Randy Orton at WrestleMania XL.
As the King and Queen of the Ring event draws near, all eyes will be on Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul as they prepare to clash in Jeddah later this month. Will The American Nightmare continue his reign of dominance, or will The Maverick pull off a massive upset and claim the Undisputed WWE Championship? One thing is certain – this is a match that WWE fans won’t want to miss.
