Logan Paul will compete in a marquee match against Cody Rhodes at the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where his undefeated streak is seemingly in jeopardy. Therefore, Paul must shock the wrestling world and bring in a former WWE champion as his bodyguard.
The name in question is Baron Corbin. The 39-year-old star teased an alliance with the Maverick back in 2021. WWE has a very good opportunity to capitalize on it, given their history. Corbin, who is a former United States Champion and a babyface on SmackDown currently, must turn heel after 131 days at the upcoming spectacle and align with Logan Paul.
The WWE Universe got a glimpse of his villainous persona on NXT, which came to an end in early 2024. There are several reasons why Corbin must turn heel again and become Paul's bodyguard on SmackDown.

To accentuate Baron Corbin's SmackDown run
Baron Corbin achieved the majority of success in his main roster career as a heel. Therefore, with him returning to SmackDown, WWE must once again redeem his villainous persona. The 39-year-old star must become Logan Paul's bodyguard, as it will accentuate his current run on the blue brand.
This will not only put him in the spotlight but his new role will also pave the way for some compelling storylines on the blue brand. His alliance with the Maverick on SmackDown will help him unravel his dark side once again and could also provide him with unfathomable success.
Hence, Baron Corbin must shock the wrestling world at the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event by turning heel on the blue brand after a long time and siding with the current United States Champion.
To extend Logan Paul's championship run
One of the reasons why Baron Corbin must become Logan Paul's bodyguard is to protect the latter from losing the United States Championship. This will allow WWE to keep the coveted title on Paul's shoulder for a long time if the Stamford-based promotion intends to make his title reign longer.
Corbin will therefore work as the Maverick's shield and help him retain the United States Championship in his matches. With Logan being a heel, it will only help him bolster his villainous persona, as fans could garner him a chorus of boos every time he steps in the ring.
Therefore, Paul's alliance with Baron Corbin will help WWE protect the social media megastar. Besides, it will also help the company put other babyfaces over among fans on SmackDown, as they would benefit from having a feud with the Maverick.
To eventually become the biggest babyface
Logan Paul is currently one of the biggest stars in WWE and Baron Corbin becoming a heel and aligning with him as his bodyguard could help the latter significantly. This could ultimately lead to the Maverick mistreating Corbin and making him an even bigger babyface on Friday Night SmackDown.
The 39-year-old star may endure humiliation while serving as Paul's bodyguard, which could ultimately turn him into a major fan favorite. The Lone Wolf could eventually become the top babyface on SmackDown and go on to knock Logan Paul off the pedestal.
Baron might also start a feud with the Maverick on the blue brand and ultimately capture the United States Championship at some point.
