In what might be the greatest clash of titans since David took a pebble and slung it at Goliath’s noggin, Cody Rhodes will defend his glistening Undisputed WWE Championship against none other than the U.S. Champion, Logan “Look at Me, I’m on YouTube” Paul at the King & Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia. Folks, if you thought the French crowd at Backlash was rowdy, just wait till you see the fireworks in Jeddah!
The grand reveal unfolded on WWE SmackDown, where General Manager Nick Aldis played the role of a classy concierge, welcoming Rhodes to the ring with the kind of pomp you’d expect at a royal wedding. Then, in a twist that shocked absolutely no one who’s been paying attention, Logan Paul decided to crash the party. And why not? After all, nothing says “I’m here to steal the show” like interrupting a man basking in his championship glow.
Logan laid out his plan plain and simple: he wants to pin Cody right on that PRIME logo and strut out of Saudi Arabia with the belt. But Cody, ever the gentleman-scholar of the ring, tipped his hat to the idea of a champ versus champ showdown. He even hinted at snagging the U.S. Title from Logan, which would slap a nice little “Grand Slam Champion” sticker on his WWE resume.
Despite the mutual title hoisting and intense stare-down that capped off their encounter, Cody couldn’t help but throw a little shade, calling Logan self-centered and a bit too fond of brass knuckles. That’s right, folks, the gloves are literally off and the knuckles are out.
Will Cody add another title to his collection, or will Logan Paul punch his way to a victory that even his YouTube subscribers wouldn’t believe? Tune in on May 25th at the Jeddah Super Dome to find out! This isn’t just a match; it’s an epic saga about to be written in the squared circle, and you wouldn’t want to miss a beat!
