On the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Logan Paul failed to qualify for the traditional Money in the Bank ladder match when he clashed against LA Knight and Santos Escobar. However, the match's conclusion was a major surprise to many fans, as The Megastar emerged victorious by rolling up the Maverick and pinning him to secure the triumph.
As the YouTube sensation is the United States Champion, being pinned by Knight seems to be a major hint that the 41-year-old star will soon end Logan Paul's title reign.
A probable scenario that might unfold is that, at Money in the Bank, when Knight is inches away from winning the traditional ladder match, Logan Paul could interrupt him. This is due to the already heated history between these two, and LA pinned Logan to secure his spot in that match. The social media star disrupting Knight's victory at MITB could escalate their feud to a new level.

In the aftermath, The Megastar could challenge The Maverick, considering he had already pinned him earlier to qualify for the MITB ladder match. This will eventually set up a clash for SummerSlam 2024, where there is a belief that the 41-year-old star will finally dethrone Logan Paul as the US Champion.
The WWE Universe has also had high hopes for a long time that LA Knight will be crowned the next US Champion.
It remains to be seen how things will unfold in the forthcoming weeks after this pivotal incident of Knight pinning Logan despite the latter being the United States Champion.
Why LA Knight dethroning Logan Paul is best for business?
Besides this recent SmackDown incident, there are significant reasons why LA Knight dethroning Logan is best for business. The Megastar has experienced massive growth in popularity, solidifying his presence in the Stamford-based promotion.
Despite this rise, the 41-year-old star has yet to achieve any major accolades in his main roster run. Awarding him the United States Championship could be an excellent way to start his collection of titles.
Moreover, having The Megastar as the US Champion could elevate his status in the company and set the stage for a future world title run in World Wrestling Entertainment.
