The WWE universe can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the controversy surrounding the highly anticipated Champion vs. Champion match between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul has been cleared up. Ahead of the King and Queen of the Ring main event, the contract signing on SmackDown put to rest the burning question on every fan’s mind: would the WWE and United States Championships be on the line?
The drama unfolded as Logan Paul, accompanied by his team and lawyer, attempted to alter the terms of the contract at the eleventh hour. Paul’s lawyer drew up a new contract specifying that the United States Championship would not be on the line, sparking a heated exchange with General Manager Nick Aldis. Aldis called out Paul for the unprofessional switch-up, but Cody Rhodes intervened, politely sending Aldis away and eventually accepting the revised contract.
The outcome of this dramatic contract signing is that only the Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line in the King and Queen of the Ring main event. This development has sparked mixed reactions among the WWE universe, with some fans expressing disappointment that the United States Championship will not be up for grabs. Others have voiced concerns that a Champion vs. Champion match may be premature, potentially impacting the outcome of the bout.
Despite the uncertainty, Cody Rhodes remained unphased, standing tall in the ring and holding both the WWE and United States Championships aloft. The gesture was a clear tease, as Rhodes has yet to claim the United States Championship, a title that would cement his status as a Grand Slam Champion.
As the WWE universe looks ahead to the King and Queen of the Ring, the stage is set for a thrilling Champion vs. Champion clash. While the outcome may have been slightly predictable, one thing is certain – the rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul will come to a head in a match that will be remembered for years to come.
