4 things Logan Paul must not do at the contract signing on WWE SmackDown

Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul are set to make their "Champion vs. Champion" match at the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event official on the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown. Contract signings in the Stamford-based promotion are always unpredictable and filled with surprises, but there are some things that the Maverick should consider not doing.

Last week on SmackDown, Logan Paul announced that he would challenge Cody Rhodes for a match at the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In the upcoming episode of the blue brand, both men will sign the contract to make the match official, and the Stamford-based promotion should consider avoiding some stuff during the segment.

For this list, we will take a look at four things Logan Paul must not do during his contract signing segment with Cody Rhodes on the upcoming episode of SmackDown.

#4. Bringing in influencers as a means to be his backup

One of the major contributions Logan Paul made to WWE was to involve the Stamford-based company in mainstream media and even bring in some of his celebrity friends for an appearance or so. Unsurprisingly, most of them are influencers like IShowSpeed, KSI, and even his brother, Jake Paul. They previously acted as his backup, but that should not happen tonight.

Logan and Cody's contract signing segment on WWE SmackDown should be about the two of them, the importance of both championships and the event itself. While it could be said that involving an influencer could garner an audience, it will take the attention off of the match. If anything, it should just be a surprise for the upcoming premium live event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

#3. Logan Paul should not negotiate another stipulation for the match

A simultaneous "Champion vs. Champion" match has happened before in the Stamford-based promotion, but it is still an uncommon occurrence and happened rarely in recent times. The stakes are already high, and it is enough to make it interesting.

On the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown, the current United States Champion should not propose another reason to raise the stakes of the match or add another stipulation. The primary reason for this is that it could be a bit overwhelming if another condition was added to the bout.

#2. Logan Paul vs. Cody Rhodes should not be teased for WWE SummerSlam 2024

SummerSlam is another one of WWE's most looked-forward-to premium live events throughout the year. Many fans already have set their minds about the dream matches they want to see at the event, and Cody Rhodes vs. Logan Paul is not among them.

During the contract signing segment on the upcoming episode of SmackDown, both men should not tease that their match at the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, will continue for months until The Biggest Party of the Summer. Many fans want to see Cody compete against The Rock, while they are also expecting to see Logan going one-on-one against LA Knight. Seeing both men clash for one time is already enough.

#1. Win a physical exchange against Cody Rhodes on WWE SmackDown

A standard occurrence during a contract signing segment in the Stamford-based promotion is the possibility of both stars getting physical before their match. Although this did not happen during Cody Rhodes' recent contract signing with AJ Styles, that could change when The American Nightmare comes face-to-face with Logan Paul.

While it is highly possible that the Maverick could initiate a physical brawl or throw in a cheap shot, Rhodes should not be shown as struggling or having difficulty against his opponent. At the end of the day, The American Nightmare is the Undisputed WWE Champion, which overpowers the United States Championship. As the top titleholder of the Stamford-based company, struggling against Logan could question Cody's legitimacy as a dominant champion and superstar in general.
