Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

Logan Paul walked into this week’s SmackDown with some huge plans. He tried to outsmart Cody Rhodes . However, before he came into the ring, he had an intense face-off with a potential future opponent, LA Knight .

While the Maverick was walking backstage for his segment with Cody Rhodes, he bumped into the Megastar. LA Knight fiercely stood up to Logan Paul to implicitly declare him as the next in line for a title shot. This staredown subliminally planted the seed for a mega feud between the two stars.

With the mega shows ahead, Knight and Paul will likely face each other at the Cleveland Browns Stadium at SummerSlam. It has been a feud that WWE has been constantly teasing for over a year. WWE has finally pulled the trigger for the clash of the two top-tier talents.

Besides, the Maverick has set his eyes on the Undisputed Championship. He is going to face Cody Rhodes at King and Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia next week. This week, Paul outsmarted him with a spin on the contract for his match right after the face-off with the Megastar.

Booker T gave props to Logan Paul

Logan Paul has been doing an incredible job as a champion. He is the longest-reigning WWE champion currently. Speaking of that, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T gave props to the Maverick for adapting to the WWE lifestyle at such a high speed.

During a conversation on his Hall of Fame podcast, the former World Heavyweight Champion stated that he had never seen anyone like the Social Media Megastar in a long time. He added that Paul can transition from being a professional wrestler to being a social media sensation in a jiffy. The WWE Hall of Famer claimed that this ability is admirable, which makes Logan one of the emerging stars of the next generation.

Moreover, Booker expressed an opinion over the upcoming match of the YouTuber against Cody Rhodes. He claimed that WWE has no need to put both titles on the line. He elucidated that losing the US Championship at this point might degrade the character of the former celebrity boxer.
