Wrestler Logan Paul has dismissed the narrative that the plans for his upcoming match against Cody Rhodes at the King and Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia have shifted.
During an interview on WWE’s The Bump, Paul addressed the changes that were made to the match after the contract signing on Friday.
Contrary to the initial belief that both the WWE Championship and the United States Championship would be on the line, Paul clarified that the match was always intended to be for Cody’s title alone, and not his own.
“Things haven’t shifted. This was always for Cody’s title, not mine. I’m shocked that people are shocked about that,” Paul said.
This will be Logan Paul’s 12th match in WWE and his first against Cody Rhodes. The King and Queen of the Ring event will also mark Paul’s third trip to Saudi Arabia with the company, following his unsuccessful bid to capture the Undisputed Universal Championship from Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel in 2022.
