Dominik Mysterio to betray Finn Balor and ally with top heel; new manager?- 4 directions for Logan Paul when he returns to WWE
At the SummerSlam 2024 Premium Live Event, Logan Paul faced off against LA Knight with the United States Championship on the line. Paul won the title by beating Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel last year, marking a big milestone for him as he put his stamp on the Stamford-based promotion.
Paul became one of the longest-reigning US Champions in WWE history, showcasing his profound influence while holding the title. Unfortunately, he lost it at The Biggest Party of The Summer a little over a month ago, handing it over to The Megastar, LA Knight.
Now, he is on a hiatus and, while fans could be excited about the star being more active down the line, it’s still a mystery when he’ll show up on WWE television again. Here are four directions for The Maverick once he returns to the Stamford-based promotion:
#4. He could return to have a rematch with LA Knight
The former United States Champion shared his goals on a recent episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast. He expressed that he was eager to have a rematch with LA Knight for the title.
Since clinching the championship in August, The Megastar has been busy defending his title. He’s put the championship up for grabs multiple times and has stepped up his game, boosting the title's prestige. It'll be interesting to see when Paul returns to take on Knight and compete for the title again.
#3. Logan Paul could return with Hulk Hogan as his manager
WWE legend Hulk Hogan recently revealed that he has signed a new five-year deal with the company. This deal could pave the way for his comeback.
He could take on the role of a mentor for Logan Paul. The Hulkster was a huge fan favorite back in his WWE days, but he cranked it up as a bad guy when he joined the New World Order in WCW. Bringing him in as a manager could be just what the 29-year-old needs to reach new levels of success.
#2. He could team up with Dominik Mysterio by betraying Finn Balor and The Judgment Day
Dominik Mysterio is currently the most hated villain in WWE. The level of heat he has been getting is off the charts. While he has been relishing his role as a hated heel, teaming up with another top villain like Logan could be on the horizon. They recently sat down on the latter's podcast and discussed forming a tag team that would be the most hated in WWE history.
The idea of Dominik teaming up with Logan isn’t as crazy as it seems. They’d make a formidable duo, both being some of the most despised heels in the company. This concept was just too interesting to overlook; Dom could turn on The Judgment Day and join forces with the social media sensation. Together, they could take down Finn Balor and JD McDonagh to snag the tag team title, which would be a smart move for the business.
#1. Logan Paul could return to challenge Gunther for the World Title
Logan Paul's path to the world title kicked off with a standout match against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022, which got a lot of love for its quality. It highlighted Paul's skills in the ring and his ability to hang out with the best in WWE.
The Maverick might make a comeback just in time for Survivor Series 2024 to take on the current World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther. This could be a really exciting match-up, since Logan Paul's athleticism and high-flying moves would clash perfectly with Gunther's tough, technical skills, creating a one-of-a-kind dynamic in the ring.
