Actual stipulation of "Champion vs Champion" match officially confirmed on SmackDown following major controversy

There has been a lot of confusion about the Champion vs. Champion match between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul on SmackDown. Ahead of the King and Queen of the Ring main event, the contract signing finally cleared up the confusion—albeit with a bit of controversy.

The big question for WWE fans was: Are the WWE and United States Championships on the line in the main event of the King & Queen of the Ring? Cody Rhodes alluded to becoming a Grand Slam Champion, as the US Title is all that's missing for him to earn that accomplishment.

Logan Paul attended the contract signing on SmackDown this week with a team and a lawyer. While it seemed clear that the titles would be on the line, the social media megastar had his lawyer draw up another contract explicitly stating that the US Title would not be on the line.

While General Manager Nick Aldis called him out for the unprofessional switch-up at the last minute, Cody Rhodes politely sent Aldis away and eventually accepted the contract, confirming that only the Undisputed WWE Championship would be on the line in their match.

This essentially means that the feud on SmackDown will lead to a Champion vs. Champion bout, with only the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line.

This will undoubtedly have many mixed reactions among the WWE Universe, with many believing that it was too early for a Champion vs. Champion match.

While the match's result was never in doubt, this essentially confirms to many fans that the outcome will favor the Undisputed WWE Champion.

Cody stood tall by sending everyone out of the Ring and held both the WWE and US Championships, teasingly holding the one title he had never won.
