Money in the Bank is around the corner and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis could make some major announcements on the show tonight. One of those could be related to the United States Championship being defended at the upcoming premium live event in Toronto, Canada.
There's a good possibility that Aldis could make Logan Paul vs. LA Knight official for the US Title at Money in the Bank on the upcoming edition of SmackDown. However, the announcement could come after their huge MITB qualifying triple-threat match on the show, which will feature Paul, Knight and Santos Escobar.
The Megastar, who has been looking to get a clash with The Maverick for quite some time, could be involved in a skirmish with him during the match. As a result, Escobar could take advantage of the potential turmoil that could unfold between the two and grab a huge roll-up victory in the match.
Following that, LA Knight could be involved in an ugly brawl with Logan Paul at ringside. Knight would look to seek revenge for Paul's sneak attack on him last week on SmackDown, which may descend into bedlam. As a result, referees and securities could come out to separate both superstars from each other.

This could ultimately lead to Nick Aldis taking matters into his own hands. The SmackDown GM could make Logan Paul vs. LA Knight official for Money in the Bank with the United States Championship on the line.
LA Knight's rivalry with Logan Paul will likely extend beyond Money in the Bank
The rivalry between LA Knight and Logan Paul started a few months ago when the two superstars ran into each other in a backstage segment. Since then, animosity between the two has started to develop in subsequent episodes of SmackDown, as if a long-term feud is being cooked between Knight and Paul.
The two superstars may face each other in a one-on-one match at Money in the Bank, which could see a controversial ending, leading their feud to extend beyond the July spectacle. The prospect of it happening seems plausible, as their ongoing affair has started to become one of the most intriguing rivalries on SmackDown.
It is expected to culminate in a blockbuster match at SummerSlam this year for the United States Championship. WWE has seemingly laid the foundation of this potential match on the episodes of SmackDown every week, unravelling layers in this feud.
As The Megastar and The Maverick clash in a triple-threat match tonight, it could play a pivotal role in accentuating their rivalry and adding more depth to it. It remains to be seen how things shape up in the coming weeks ahead of Money in the Bank, leading to SummerSlam.
