After United States Champion Logan Paul was named as Cody Rhodes' next challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship, there has been a great deal of confusion regarding the stakes of the match. The general belief was that both the Undisputed WWE Championship and the United States Championship would be on the line, but nothing was made official. During last night’s contract signing on "WWE SmackDown," however, Logan Paul made the stakes for his match with Cody Rhodes very clear: He is unwilling to defend the United States Championship, and their fight will be exclusively for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul, who was accompanied by a litigator and an assorted variety of lackeys, met with Nick Aldis to publicly confirm their King and Queen of the Ring main event match. Cody Rhodes spoke at length about his aspirations to become a Grand Slam champion by claiming Logan Paul's United States Championship before Logan Paul interrupted him. Logan Paul then unceremoniously ripped up a Nick Aldis' copy of the contract in the middle of the ring, claiming that he had not agreed to defend his US title. Logan Paul's litigator then brought forth a new contract, stating that Logan Paul and Cody Rhodes' match would solely be for Cody Rhodes' WWE title.
After Cody Rhodes dismissed an incensed Nick Aldis, Logan Paul berated the world champion, claiming Cody Rhodes was unworthy of a US title opportunity. Cody Rhodes, offended and angry, signed Logan Paul's new contract. Not a moment after, Logan Paul attempted to blindside the Undisputed WWE Champion. Cody Rhodes responded by throwing Logan Paul out of the ring and levelling one of his lackeys for good measure. Logan Paul was left walking up the ramp with his team, making it known that Cody Rhodes had signed "a death wish."
Logan Paul and Cody Rhodes are expected to clash in the main event of King and Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia on May 25th. This is Vody Rhodes' second title defence since winning the title from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. He defeated AJ Styles at WWE Backlash in France.
