Logan Paul threatens popular WWE star with legal action after last week's assault

Modified Jan 13, 2024 03:26 GMT

This Friday, Logan Paul threatened to take legal action against a former champion who attacked him last week on SmackDown.

After Logan won the United States Championship, a tournament featuring eight superstars from RAW, SmackDown, and even NXT would determine his next challenger. The participants included Kevin Owens, Cameron Grimes, Santos Escobar, Karrion Kross, and Carmelo Hayes.

After weeks of competition, Kevin Owens defeated Santos Escobar in the tournament finals last week on the blue brand. Following the match, Logan Paul, who was doing commentary at ringside, got into the ring and ran his mouth until Owens punched him in the face with his cast.

Clearly, Logan was not pleased with this, and he appeared on SmackDown tonight in a backstage promo. He claimed to have consulted his legal team regarding Owens' actions last week. He also seemed to have a black eye from the attack.

Logan threatened to sue the former Universal Champion if he showed up with his cast at the Royal Rumble. He even said he would cancel their match if he wore the cast as "a weapon."

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
