Logan Paul and LA Knight are on a massive collision course. The two SmackDown stars have been at each other's throats for several weeks, with The Megastar relentlessly pursuing a one-on-one opportunity for the US Championship.

Although The Maverick has repeatedly denied his rival's challenges, the growing hatred and reports from various media outlets suggest that Paul vs. Knight will finally happen at SummerSlam 2024.

However, we propose that WWE extend the rumored Logan Paul vs. LA Knight US Title match to Bad Blood 2024 instead of SummerSlam.


#3. WWE already has a stacked card for SummerSlam 2024

Four crucial championship matches have been confirmed for The Biggest Party of The Summer thus far. Furthermore, more encounters are expected to be added in the coming weeks.

It would be a mistake to keep the Intercontinental Championship off SummerSlam. Thus, Sami Zayn will likely defend his coveted title on the show, presumably against Bron Breakker. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have been feuding for months, and their grudge rivalry will come to a head in Cleveland.

The Tag Team Championships could also be defended on the show. Furthermore, many top stars like Seth "Freakin" Rollins, who are without a clear direction, would likely be utilized in some capacity.

Rounding off the list, WWE could end up with seven to eight matches for SummerSlam, which is two more than their usual five-match formula. Therefore, adding Logan Paul vs. LA Knight seems unnecessary in the presence of sufficient segments.

If the title match is squeezed into the card, the company may not allow them sufficient time to tell a worthy story and put on a great match, leading to potential criticism from the fan base.

#2. WWE shouldn't rush the build for Logan Paul vs. LA Knight

WWE began building towards a potential US Title match between Logan Paul and LA Knight soon after The King and Queen of the Ring PLE. Triple H is a fan of long-term storytelling, and he should employ the same strategy with the Paul-Knight saga.

WWE could add several layers to this brewing angle to increase the excitement for the duo's eventual showdown. Paul's YouTube friends could be embarrassed by The Megastar. Knight could also invade The Maverick's home yet again.

The brass knuckles could also come into play, with Paul asserting that he would only accept Knight's challenge if brass knuckles were deemed legal. Consequently, there are many angles Triple H could explore with this feud, but rushing the program will curb the creativity.


#1. Paul vs. Knight could be a major selling point for Bad Blood 2024

SummerSlam has plenty of star power, with major stars like Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and Rhea Ripley confirmed for the massive Premium Live Event. However, Bad Blood will take place in the fall, when many big stars take time off and interest tends to dip.

Holding off Logan Paul vs. LA Knight could reduce the impact of the lack of star power and interest in the post-SummerSlam season. Paul is a popular figure, and his name naturally garners much interest. Knight is also one of the most popular stars on the active roster, with fans genuinely interested in his work.
