LA Knight's path to WWE SummerSlam has been clear since even before Money in the Bank. He has done all he can to get his hands on Logan Paul and win the United States Championship but Paul has balked at every challenge.

The Megastar went to Paul's home and even defeated The Maverick in a qualifying match for Money in the Bank Ladder match. When confronted, Logan either does not show up for SmackDown or refuses to deal with Knight.

The potential for a match at SummerSlam became more of a reality last week on SmackDown when Knight left Nick Aldis's office with a contract in hand. He brought the paperwork to the ring, signed it, and put the ball in the champion's court.

If the two finally agree to a match in Cleveland, one of the next four stipulations could be attached to their title match at Summerslam.

#4. Any outside interference or cheating leads to a title change

In all of Logan Paul's matches, he either uses brass knuckles or is aided by one of his posse members. They have handed the brass knuckles to Paul or interfered in the match.

Nick Aldis has to be aware of this since The Maverick is one of his top stars. Paul tried to cheat in various ways against Cody Rhodes, so the potential to do so again is high.

LA Knight knows how Paul operates and may ask for an amendment to the contract. If anyone interferes on the YouTuber's behalf, whether a WWE star or non-competitor, Logan automatically loses. It will force the champion to be on his best behavior.


#3. Join the Prime Team!

With Prime Hydration having a big relationship with WWE, that deal could play into a potential stipulation at SummerSlam. The logo is prominently featured in the middle of the ring during premium live events and a "Hydration Station" is ringside for every show.

Since Logan has been able to do almost whatever he wants, he could agree to the match if Knight agrees to join the Prime Team if fails to defeat the champion. The stipulation would force The Megastar to deal with Paul's lackeys leading up to SummerSlam.

If Knight loses at SummerSlam, he would be forced to help Paul cheat in the future to keep the United States Title. It could then lead to a match with even higher stakes at the next premium live event.


#2. Steel Cage Mayhem at SummerSlam

A steel cage match is usually installed so others cannot interfere. It's also used so that one star is unable to escape from another performer.

Logan Paul has dodged Knight's challenges at every turn and has only defended the United States Championship twice since winning it last November. That's not exactly a great representation of a champion.

A steel cage match should curtail any outside interference in theory. It would also force Paul to stand and fight, leading Aldis or Knight to opt for a steel cage stipulation. It will protect the loser if escaping the cage is a way to win and force the arrogant champion to deal with LA Knight.


#1. No rematch for the loser

Due to paltry title defenses, LA Knight should demand that Paul cannot have a rematch should he lose at SummerSlam. He doesn't value the rest of the roster and his lack of attendance devalues the title.

Logan will claim his superstar status for his actions, but may also want the same stipulation. The Megastar 'violated' his home when he wasn't there. He may also want to be done with the highly-popular Knight no matter what.

This stipulation has been used lately for Seth Rollins (World Heavyweight Title) and Wes Lee (NXT North American Championship). The situation around the US Title seems perfectly suited for this rule.
