An imitation of The Rock? Logan Paul cooked with that diss, but it's a rare occasion for anyone to get a competent word in when battling L.A. Knight on the mic. These two have been circling each other for months, with Paul's too-busy-to-be-bothered act leading to Knight filming promos from Paul's swimming pool. Knight is a star deserving of a championship belt and Paul is the least deserving champion, so it's only right for the two to get down to business.

Now the two wrestlers will finally have their one-on-one face-off with the title belt on the line. Paul will have the home-field advantage at SummerSlam 2024, with the match being in Cleveland Browns Stadium, the city where the Paul's call homebase.

Predicted match length: 25 minutes

Will There Be Interference? No, not in this one. There's a betting line on whether or not Logan's brother Jake will appear at the PLE, and that could be an interesting twist WWE would definitely bring into things; especially in the Paul's hometown of Cleveland. But here's to a pure one-on-one battle.

Winner: Knight

Storyline Result: Knight as a champion should go a long way as he's one of the best mic promo guys in the industry. The two would probably still be mingled for a while, but the belt change brings in other would-be contenders who have been in Knight's orbit, including a potential feud with Andrade. In reality a title change opens the door for many other competitors who would have to bring their A game to knock off Knight.
