This week’s WWE SmackDown was a whirlwind of WrestleMania announcements, with General Manager Nick Aldis overseeing the approval of three major matches.
Amidst the buzz surrounding bouts like Jimmy Uso facing his own brother and AJ Styles accepting LA Knight’s challenge, it was Logan Paul who stole the spotlight after the show.
Paul’s backstage demeanor hinted at his frustration, as he ominously warned that someone in WWE would face consequences and hear from his lawyer.
However, Nick Aldis, unfazed by Paul’s threats, responded with a cheeky message, questioning if Randy Orton had issued an apology yet.
“Did you get that apology from Randy yet or?..”
Aldis’s nonchalant response suggests a refusal to bow down to intimidation tactics and instead opts to poke fun at Paul’s predicament.
In recent weeks, Paul’s actions have stirred up controversy, particularly his attack on Randy Orton at Elimination Chamber: Perth, which cost The Viper a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Consequently, Orton has developed a personal vendetta against the United States Champion.
Furthermore, Kevin Owens has entered the fray, aligning himself with Austin Theory and Grayson Waller to support Paul and leverage the numbers game against their opponents. However, the dynamics shifted dramatically with Aldis’s announcement on WWE SmackDown.
In a surprising turn of events, Aldis declared that Paul would defend his title in a triple-threat match at WrestleMania XL against both Orton and Owens. The revelation indicates a united front between Orton and Owens, signaling trouble for Paul.
With Orton and Owens appearing to be on the same page, Paul may find himself in a precarious situation heading into WrestleMania XL.
The match, set to be a no-disqualification affair, opens the door for potential interference from Theory and Waller, further complicating the scenario.
As the tension mounts and alliances shift, WrestleMania XL promises to deliver a showdown filled with high-stakes drama and unexpected twists, with Logan Paul finding himself at the center of the storm.
