WWE’s Logan Paul Talks Adapting After Dropping U.S. Championship
During a recent episode of his podcast
IMPAULSIVE, Paul revealed that he missed having the championship on display during the show. The 28-year-old wrestler held the US title for 273 days before losing it to Knight at the summer blockbuster event.
"I mean, look, congrats to him. He's a very good wrestler. It was well deserved. He fought extremely hard, kicked out of my knockout punch last night," Paul noted.
Paul acknowledged that Knight's victory was well-deserved, but he also claimed that the match had a controversial finish.The former champion alleged that Knight's leg was on the ropes before the referee made the three count, suggesting that the title change was illegitimate.
He said, “I see it on him, but everybody knows that US title's mine. So, you can have it for now, for the time being, but I'm going back for a rematch.”
Despite his claims, Paul's efforts in WWE have not gone unnoticed. Triple H, the company's chief content officer, praised Paul's performance at SummerSlam and recognized his rapid ascent within the organization.
Paul's transition from social media influencer to professional wrestler has been a remarkable journey. His athleticism,charisma, and in-ring abilities have earned him respect from fans and fellow wrestlers alike.
As the former Youtuber, Paul continues to evolve as a competitor, it remains to be seen if he will have another opportunity to regain the United States Championship or pursue other titles within WWE.
