United States Champion Logan Paul has delivered a three-word message ahead of tonight's edition of WWE SmackDown. This week's episode of the blue brand will air live from the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
LA Knight presented a contract signed by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis this past Friday night. The contract was for a United States Championship match at WWE SummerSlam, but Logan Paul has not signed yet. The Maverick will be making his return to WWE television later tonight and has shared a message ahead of SmackDown.
The 29-year-old took to his Instagram story to share an image of himself getting off a plane ahead of tonight's show and noted that it was "time to cook." You can check out Paul's post on Instagram by clicking here.

Wrestling legend Dutch Mantell recently noted that LA Knight is incredibly over with fans and claimed it allowed the promotion to be more creative.
Speaking on last week's episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk podcast, the veteran said that Knight is over with the crowd and they respond to his promos. Mantell added that the company can do almost anything creatively during his rivalry with Logan Paul due to The Megastar's popularity.
"LA Knight, he's over. He gets in the ring, points the finger and he goes LA Knight, the people all respond to him. So, the guys are over. When you have people like that, if you don't outrun yourself with the booking you can almost do anything with it." [20:53 onwards]
