Logan Paul to trick LA Knight on WWE SmackDown tonight? Exploring the potential swerve
Logan Paul is all set to appear on tonight's SmackDown, and he has a huge task ahead of him. He has to respond to LA Knight's challenge for the United States Championship. The Megastar got the signature of general manager, Nick Aldis for the title match with The Maverick at SummerSlam. Having signed on the dotted line himself, all that's left is for Paul to sign.
However, if Logan Paul has proven anything in the past few months, it's that he is as cunning as they come. His last contract signing saw him get his way with Cody Rhodes, to the point where he just wouldn't agree to put his United States Championship on the line. But, this time around, he may have no choice. Nevertheless, Paul could have a trick up his sleeve tonight that might stump LA Knight, and that is forcing The Megastar to accept a No DQ stipulation.
Logan Paul could have his attorney, who was present at his last contract signing, include a clause in the contract that changes the match stipulation to a No DQ. This could be a stroke of genius from the YouTube sensation, as it would allow him to use his favorite brass knuckles.
With his choice weapon handy, it would be safe to say that Paul would be the favorite heading into a SummerSlam next month, making things that much more difficult for LA Knight.
It certainly would be quite the twist and a slippery slope for Knight to climb if Paul manages to pull off such a stunt. But, this is nothing more than speculation, and the WWE Universe will have to wait for tonight to see what the social media sensation has planned out.
LA Knight is the odds-on favorite over Logan Paul at SummerSlam
While LA Knight may not know what to expect from Logan Paul tonight, he will take comfort in knowing that he is the favorite heading into SummerSlam. The overwhelming support from the WWE Universe aside, the bookies also seem to be on his side. With The Biggest Party of the Summer just around the corner, The Megastar is the odds-on favorite to come out on top.
According to BetOnline, LA Knight is the clear favorite to win, should WWE confirm the bout between him and Paul. Knight has odds of -1000[1/10] compared to The Maverick's +550[11/2], in what will be their first-ever match. And, assuming the bookies have got it down right, the 41-year-old should leave SummerSlam as the new United States Champion.
Being a betting man himself, it's safe to say Logan will not like these odds. So, he will do anything in his power to come out on top come August 3, 2024. But, will he prevail? That is a question that can only be answered in due time.
