Logan Paul could face WWE star Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble as wrestling platform tries to plan epic clash
CLEVELAND, OHIO: WWE is reportedly working on a big bout for Royal Rumble featuring Logan Paul. Royal Rumble is the company's upcoming high-end live event.
Logan Paul will be facing none other than Kevin Owens, the superstar, at Royal Rumble 2024. Following his fractures on SmackDown last week, the Prizefighter is presently out of commission.
Kevin Owens vs Logan Paul for Royal Rumble
As of now, there are no reports indicating whether this is a genuine injury or a plot device. With more than a month till Royal Rumble, it seems like WWE is using the injury storyline to keep him off the show.
It appears that the organization intends to start a feud between Logan Paul and Kevin Owens before the January extravaganza. Considering that WWE has been hinting at it for weeks, there's a decent chance it will happen.
Logan Paul will currently square off against the victor of the eight-man competition, which gets underway on the next SmackDown program. Owens' injury will thus give WWE some extra time to prepare for their Royal Rumble clash.
Logan Paul's future as WWE US Champion
When Logan Paul won his first-ever WWE championship at Crown Jewel 2023, history was made. To win the title of United States Champion, he overcame the legendary Rey Mysterio of WWE.
Paul has brought WWE and the prized championship to the attention of mainstream viewers ever since he became the champion. It appears that the Stamford-based promotion has some big things in store for him in the future.
Paul is promoted by Elimination Chamber 2024, an Australian company based in Perth. It is therefore, quite improbable that Paul will lose the US Championship at Royal Rumble the following year.
Furthermore, reports state that the social media sensation will be the champion when WrestleMania 40 begins. Therefore, as the United States Champion, WWE can have big plans for him.
In addition, Logan Paul hasn't yet defended his championship at a high-profile live event. Consequently, it is unlikely that he will forfeit his prized gold in Royal Rumble the following year.
