Samoan family member says 41-year-old star can pull off title win at WWE SummerSlam (Exclusive)
Former WWE star and Samoan family member Afa Anoani Jr. stated that a few title changes could happen at SummerSlam. LA Knight vs.Logan Paul for the United States Championship caught his attention during the discussion.
The Maverick has barely defended the United States Championship since winning it from Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel last year. This time he will be facing a formidable opponent in Knight. The Megastar has been riding a wave of popularity heading into the contest and will be looking to come out of it with the title.
During an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Anoa'i Jr. pointed out how Logan Paul recently created some noise on social media. He felt Knight was a clear favorite heading into the encounter, but all the social media chatter might give WWE some second thoughts on the title change.
"Man, this is a tough one to call because up until 24 hours ago, or whatever the case may be, it was to me, pretty one-sided. But now, anything could change overnight. I'm curious to see which direction they go with this one. I think if LA Knight was to pull it off, it could be tonight. Yeah, we'll see what happens." [From 07:20 to 07:45]

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Logan Paul ambushed LA Knight after his match against Santos Escobar and left him lying in the ring. It will be interesting to see if The Defiant One has something to say before his mega encounter with The Maverick this weekend.
