3 ways Logan Paul can win the World Heavyweight Championship on WWE RAW
As announced on RAW on Netflix Kickoff, Logan Paul was the latest addition to the red brand. The Maverick has a massive fan following, and his global presence will draw more viewership for WWE's Monday night show.
The YouTube sensation wasted little time making an impact as he declared his intentions to become the World Heavyweight Champion. Gunther, the champion, later appeared with a strong warning for The Maverick. The Ring General confidently claimed that he would gladly "smack the smirk" off Paul's face, earning a positive reaction from the fans.
Listed below are three ways in which Logan Paul can shock the world and claim the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW:
#3. Logan Paul uses the brass knuckles to cheat his way to a World Heavyweight Championship win
Logan Paul could win his first World Title the same way he won the United States Championship from Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel 2023. The brass knuckles have become Paul's go-to weapon, bringing him much success through unfair means.
The Maverick used the knuckles behind the referee's back to win the US Title, and he could adopt a similar strategy to win the World Heavyweight Champion. Gunther likes to deal with matters in the old-fashioned clean ways of submission and pinfall wins, but Paul is not afraid to cheat.
Using the brass knuckles would propel Paul's villainous arc and protect The Ring General from suffering a clean loss.
#2. A Triple Threat/Fatal Four-Way allows Paul to sneak a win without pinning the champion
If Gunther were to defend the World Title against Logan Paul in a one-on-one bout, a title change would seem extremely unlikely. However, throw in another superstar, or even two and the situation becomes interesting.
The Ring General doesn't have to be pinned to lose his championship. The other stars in question could be names like Damian Priest or Finn Balor who could bear the burden of the pinfall loss in a Triple Threat or a Fatal Four-Way bout.
Again, such a booking decision would kill two birds with one stone: give Paul the World Heavyweight Championship and protect Gunther in defeat.
#1. Paul bribes Ludwig Kaiser to turn on Gunther
Logan Paul is an influential man who has much sway backstage. The Maverick is also cunning and knows that beating Gunther clean would be a Herculean task. The Ring General on the other hand is no muck and could be prepared for some of Paul's shenanigans (e.g.: brass knuckles).
Hence, the YouTube sensation may have to dig deeper. He could bribe or convince Ludwig Kaiser to turn on Gunther and cost his longtime friend the World Heavyweight Championship in a shocking turn of events.
Gunther recently encouraged Kaiser to make a name for himself. This could backfire on The Ring General as his so far loyal comrade could do the same at his expense.
