Surprising impact of defeat against Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes? - 3 reasons why Logan Paul would be a world champion in WWE
Logan Paul suffered a massive defeat at WWE SummerSlam when he lost his United States Championship to LA Knight. The top heel from SmackDown then retaliated by filing a lawsuit against the newly crowned champion, indicating an extended title feud between both superstars.
However, Triple H may have bold plans in store for him in the future. Paul, who has earned praise from industry legends like The Undertaker and Randy Orton, could be a future world champion in WWE, and here's why.
#1 Past performance in world championship feuds on WWE SmackDown
There is no denying that Logan Paul has left many in the WWE Universe impressed with his in-ring skills. He has competed for the world championship twice before. First, he challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Crown Jewel 2022. The second time, he locked horns with Cody Rhodes for the same title in a champion vs. champion match at King and Queen of the Ring this year.
Although he failed to win the gold on both occasions, his performances in the two title matches were heavily praised. Paul also did an impressive job on the microphone during the build-up to the abovementioned matches, making him someone who could fit the bill of a world champion in the Stamford-based promotion.
#2 Perfect controversial heel for casual WWE viewers
In many ways, Logan Paul is an ideal heel for the Triple H-run promotion. His ability to get under people's skin, coupled with his popularity on social media, allows the company to tap into a broader audience that draws new eyeballs to the entire product.
The creative team could see Paul's world championship victory as an opportunity to fetch a mass reaction from fans, generating views in return. Additionally, The Maverick's never-ending tango with controversies would make him an unmissable character, especially if he holds the top prize.
#3 Guaranteed to set up for a colossal babyface title win
Although Logan Paul has a high chance of winning a world title in the future, he is unlikely to keep the gold as long as his United States Championship reign. Fans grew tired of his sporadic title defenses despite having one of the longest US Championship reigns in history.
However, his potential world championship win would immediately set up his next challenger for a massive babyface victory. Fans will be united in supporting a top name like LA Knight or Jey Uso to potentially dethrone Paul for the gold. The angle could earn a thunderous pop that might instantly make it an unforgettable moment.
Giving Paul the world title would guarantee an incredible start to whoever takes the championship off him, a move that can benefit everyone involved.
