SUMMARY
- Logan Paul and Cody Rhodes signed the contract for their upcoming match at Kind and Queen of the Ring PLE.
- During the contract signing, Logan Paul involved his lawyer to fix a mistake.
Logan Paul shocked everyone when he was introduced as the next challenger for Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship on last week’s SmackDown. It was also revealed that The Maverick would be fighting The American Nightmare at the upcoming Kind and Queen of the Ring PLE in Saudi Arabia.
The Stamford-based promotion didn’t confirm the stakes for their encounter in Jeddah, but the general belief was that it would be a winner-takes-all match. Amid this claim on the internet, a lot of fans considered it as a flaw. But on the latest episode of Friday’s show things got clear, as Logan got his lawyer involved to fix the little mistake with the Cody match.
This happened during the May 17 episode of the blue brand, as Logan Paul and Cody Rhodes came face-to-face for the contract signing. During the segment, the Impaulsive podcast host was accompanied by a litigator and an assorted variety of lackeys, as he made it clear that he’s not willing to put his United States Championship on the line.

The Maverick claimed that Rhodes’ is worthy of getting a shot at his title, and that’s why their match would exclusively be for the Undisputed Championship. With this, the confusion about the stakes for their match has been clarified for the fans, and it remains to be seen what happens during their match on May 25.
Logan Paul crushed Cody Rhodes’ dream of becoming a Grand Slam Champion
While the YouTube star‘s revelation has made things clearer for the audience, his promo has also crushed Cody Rhodes’ dream of becoming a Grand Slam Champion. During their contract signing on SmackDown, The American Nightmare was talking about his aspirations to complete the circle by claiming Logan’s US Championship, before he was interrupted by his challenger, Logan Paul.
Interrupting The American Nightmare, The Maverick announced that their match would solely be for the Undisputed WWE Championship. This was probably a shocker for the fan-favorite star, as he was looking to win Paul’s title to claim the prestigious accolade, but that had to be put on hold after Logan’s revelation.
Cody Rhodes took a personal shot at Logan Paul on SmackDown
While getting to know that The Maverick isn’t going to defend his title was quite shocking for the fans, The American Nightmare also did something similar. In his promo during the contract signing, Cody Rhodes took a personal shot at Logan Paul on the recent SmackDown.
The Undisputed WWE Champion mentioned Jake Paul’s upcoming fight against Mike Tyson and claimed that the veteran is going to knock out Logan’s brother. The fan-favorite superstar said, “In eight days, a WWE Hall of Famer is gonna knock your brother out.” This was not something the crowd was expecting, but as Cody did so, they were surprised.
