During the latest episode of SmackDown, WWE announced that Logan Paul would make his television debut next week, competing in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match. While this marks a significant moment for the current United States Champion, the Maverick expressed discontent upon hearing the news.
Logan Paul, who has been involved in various matches since WrestleMania 38, has not yet had a match on WWE’s weekly television shows. The announcement revealed that if Paul wins the qualifying match, he will proceed to compete in the Elimination Chamber match in Perth, Australia.
The ultimate winner of the Elimination Chamber match will earn the opportunity to face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
During the SmackDown episode, Logan Paul confronted Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce backstage, expressing his frustration about being placed in a qualifying match instead of having a challenger for the United States Championship. He humorously criticized qualifying matches, stating they were for “unqualified people,” emphasizing his status as the opposite.
Paul asserted his position as a box office attraction and questioned the logic of competing for free in Utah the following week. He humorously suggested that he should receive “The Rock treatment,” allowing him to do whatever he wants.
Despite his initial discontent, Paul eventually agreed to participate in the match, and it was revealed that his opponent would be his old rival, The Miz. The upcoming match adds anticipation to Paul’s WWE television debut and sets the stage for potential developments leading to WrestleMania 40.
