Former WWE Universal Champion to dethrone Logan Paul? Exploring possibility of first title in 7 years

Despite failing to achieve his mission of becoming a double champion at King and Queen of the Ring 2024, Logan Paul still holds the United States Championship. The Maverick, despite his defeat, once again impressed the WWE Universe with his remarkable moves. Now, with Logan Paul's focus back on his role as the US Champion, former Universal Champion Kevin Owens might be the star who could dethrone the YouTube sensation as champion.

The last time the Prizefighter held a singles title was in 2017 when he was the United States Champion. Since then, Owens has achieved accolades and won tag team titles alongside Sami Zayn, but he hasn't captured another singles title in the past seven years. Given Owens' popularity, fans would indeed support him as the star to dethrone Logan Paul.

At this year's Royal Rumble, Kevin Owens and Logan Paul had a heated clash, which ended in disqualification, allowing the social media star to retain his championship. They clashed again at WrestleMania XL, but this time with Randy Orton being added to the mix.

With no singles title for the past seven years and unfinished business with Logan Paul, Kevin Owens could be the star to become the next United States Champion if their rivalry is rejuvenated on SmackDown.

Who else is expected to dethrone Logan Paul?

Besides Kevin Owens, another star who is expected to dethrone the social media sensation is LA Knight. The Megastar is not currently engaged in a prominent storyline. He participated in the King of the Ring Tournament but failed to advance to the semifinal, losing to Tama Tonga in his quarterfinal, thanks to Solo Sikoa's interference.

However, WWE has dropped hints of a potential showdown between the Maverick and LA Knight when they were involved in a heated backstage face-off on the previous episode of SmackDown.

Given the rising popularity of The Megastar, fans believe he could be the next United States Champion. Many fans are also eager for a clash between Logan and LA Knight at SummerSlam 2024, which they consider the perfect scenario for the 41-year-old to win his first main roster championship in WWE.

Also, as SummerSlam is regarded as the second biggest premium live event of WWE after WrestleMania XL, it will be a great occasion if Knight is booked to win the United States Championship.

Only time will tell if LA Knight will clash with the YouTube sensation in the coming months, particularly at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
