Nick Aldis to punish current WWE champion for his actions at SummerSlam 2024? Exploring the possibility
The upcoming episode of SmackDown promises to be explosive, as it will see the fallout of SummerSlam 2024. Several new champions were crowned at the premium live event, and one of them was LA Knight, who captured the United States Championship. However, Knight's celebrations might be short-lived, as he may have wrapped himself up in controversy.
The Megastar destroyed Logan Paul's PRIME truck at SummerSlam after stealing it the night before. As a result, The Maverick filed a lawsuit against him for damaging his truck and pledged to drag him to court. There's a possibility that LA Knight could face the consequences of his actions, as Nick Aldis could punish him on the blue brand tonight.
The SmackDown General Manager could be compelled to take stringent measures against the newly crowned champion as the latter wrapped himself up in litigation. Aldis, who is known for being a stern authoritarian figure, might impose severe penalties, including fines, suspension, or even stripping Knight of his title, in response to his litigious behavior at SummerSlam.
However, Logan Paul could make a cunning proposition stating that he would withdraw the lawsuit if The Megastar would give him a rematch for the United States Championship. This could result in Nick Aldis giving LA Knight two choices: either face the legal consequences of his actions in court or give Paul a shot at the coveted title and settle the deal.
While the above-mentioned scenario is entirely speculation, it could add a whole new layer to the ongoing rivalry between The Maverick and The Megastar. Moreover, the lawsuit storyline has the potential to blur the lines between reality and fiction, making this rivalry much more compelling.
Possibility of LA Knight and Logan Paul having a SummerSlam rematch
LA Knight dethroned Logan Paul at SummerSlam 2024 and captured his maiden gold on the main roster. However, this rivalry seems to be far from over. With The Maverick filing a complaint against The Megastar, this seems to indicate that he could come back looking for a rematch against the newly crowned champion.
The possibility of a second chapter between Knight and Paul is good, as this rivalry may have much more intriguing things to offer. Besides, Bash in Berlin will be WWE's next premium live event. With it being an international PLE, the company might look to put a global sensation like Logan Paul on the card.
Hence, the social media megastar having a SummerSlam rematch against LA Knight is plausible. However, WWE might also pull off a massive swerve and herald a fresh feud for the newly crowned United States Champion. AJ Styles could be the one to step up and be involved in a new storyline on SmackDown.
It will be interesting to see whether a second chapter between LA Knight and Logan Paul takes place or if a new challenger is lurking in the shadows.
