LA Knight has set his sights on Logan Paul. The Megastar wants the United States Championship, but The Maverick doesn't believe that Knight is worthy of a title opportunity, repeatedly denying his rival's challenges.
The Defiant One has resorted to unconventional methods to get under Paul's skin, and the two will finally meet face-to-face in the ring on SmackDown as Knight is set to confront the US Champion in Chicago.
On that note, let's look at three things that could happen in Logan Paul and LA Knight's upcoming SmackDown confrontation.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#3. Logan Paul has LA Knight arrested for invading his home last week
Last week, The Megastar took his antics to another level when he invaded The Maverick's home. Paul came home to find LA Knight chilling in the swimming pool, gently sipping a refreshment.
The YouTube sensation was visibly angered by his rival's actions. Fortunately, Knight and Paul didn't come to blows as the former left without making a scene. The Megastar may have gained a mental advantage over the champion, but he may have to pay a heavy price.
The US Champion could enter the arena with a horde of police forces. He could then have them arrest Knight on account of him illegally invading his private property last week. Naturally, this would enhance the animosity between the two SmackDown stars.
#2. The Maverick and his crew blindside LA Knight
Most confrontations in WWE end in brawls, and the same could happen when Paul and Knight face off in Chicago. The Maverick needs to regain the upper hand on his rival to reinforce his superiority.
Paul has many friends, some of whom have appeared in WWE to help him in crucial situations. Members of his crew from The IMPAULSIVE podcast have previously handed Paul the brass knuckles to illegally use in his matches.
On SmackDown, they could again assist Logan Paul by blindsiding LA Knight and laying him out in the center of the ring. This would send a huge message to the locker room and build tremendous heel heat.
#1. Paul puts Knight against Grayson Waller and Austin Theory
The reigning US Champion also has friends in the locker room. A-Town Down Under, the WWE Tag Team Champions, were key on-screen allies to Paul during his WrestleMania feud with Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.
The Maverick could again enlist them in a ploy against LA Knight. Paul could put Knight in a Handicap match against A-Town Under with a title shot on the line. The Megastar would, consequently, have a major obstacle in his route to the US Title.
The added advantage of this Handicap Match is that it could further the tensions between Theory and Waller. Naturally, Logan Paul could also run interference to prevent Knight from earning a title opportunity.
