The WWE King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event was supposed to be a night to remember for Logan Paul, the YouTuber-turned-WWE star. With a chance to become a double titleholder, Paul faced off against Cody Rhodes, the champion, in a highly anticipated match. However, the night took an unexpected turn, leaving Paul terrified and screaming in agony.
Despite having nothing to lose, thanks to a contractual change that ensured his United States Title was not on the line, Paul seemed to have it all going for him. But Cody Rhodes was not fooled by Paul’s claims of playing fair, and it didn’t take long for the referee to discover a pair of brass knuckles hidden on Paul’s person. The cheating attempt was foiled, and Rhodes took advantage of the situation, putting Paul in a daunting position.
The Figure Four Leglock, Rhodes’ signature move, left Paul whimpering and begging for mercy. The United States Champion shouted at Rhodes to release him, fearing for his well-being and warning that he would suffer an injury or even break his leg. The video of the intense moment has gone viral, showcasing Paul’s desperation and fear.
In the end, Rhodes emerged victorious, defeating Paul with three consecutive Cross Rhodes moves. As Paul left the ringside area, he was seen limping and looking less than okay. A fan-captured video showed Paul struggling to walk, sparking concerns about the extent of his injuries.
The question on everyone’s mind now is what’s next for Logan Paul. With Cody Rhodes seemingly done with him for the time being, Paul’s future in the WWE is uncertain. Will he bounce back from this crushing defeat, or will this setback mark a turning point in his wrestling career? Only time will tell.
