As the dust settles on Cody Rhodes’ momentous victory over AJ Styles at Backlash France, the WWE Universe is abuzz with anticipation, wondering what’s next for the Undisputed WWE Champion. With the King and Queen of the Ring 2024 just on the horizon, the question on everyone’s mind is: who will step up to challenge The American Nightmare?
In the current WWE terrain, the SmackDown roster is still finding its footing following the WWE Draft 2024. AJ Styles, the only viable challenger thus far, has already been defeated, and stalwarts like Kevin Owens and Randy Orton are preoccupied with other threats. This vacuum could be the perfect opportunity for Logan Paul, the current United States Champion, to step up and lay claim to the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Logan Paul’s credentials make him an attractive opponent for Cody Rhodes. As a social media megastar, Paul has the drawing power and charisma to make their potential match-up a box office draw. Moreover, their PRIME connection adds an intriguing layer of depth to their rivalry, particularly if Paul is driven by a desire to become a double champion.
The United States Champion has already demonstrated his ambition to hold multiple titles, having challenged Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel and expressing interest in the World Heavyweight Championship. With no credible challenger on the horizon for his own title, Paul may see the Undisputed WWE Championship as the ultimate prize to cement his legacy.
The King and Queen of the Ring 2024 is shaping up to be one of WWE’s biggest shows of the year, with matches like Sami Zayn’s Intercontinental Championship defense against Chad Gable and Bronson Reed, and Becky Lynch’s Women’s World Championship bout against Liv Morgan, already on the card. However, WWE must capitalize on the opportunity to add more star power to the event.
A match between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul would electrify the WWE Universe and serve as a major draw for the King and Queen of the Ring PLE. While speculation is rife, only time will tell if this mouth-watering encounter will materialize in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. One thing is certain, though – the WWE Universe is on the edge of its collective seat, eagerly awaiting the next move of The American Nightmare.
