Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day, involving Logan Paul and Chad Gable.
• Logan Paul has made significant strides in WWE since his debut a few years ago. Despite a relatively light schedule in 2024, Paul has remained a prominent figure in the company, most recently challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at King & Queen of the Ring in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, last month.
Paul’s journey in WWE has been marked by notable achievements, including his victory over Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 4, 2023, to become the United States Champion. Since then, he has successfully defended his title twice: first against Kevin Owens via disqualification at the Royal Rumble in January, and later in a triple threat match against Owens and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40.
Recently, WWE has hinted at an impending showdown between Paul and LA Knight. While the timing of this highly anticipated match has been a subject of speculation, possibilities include Money in the Bank in July, SummerSlam in August, or the upcoming Clash at the Castle PLE this month.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Logan Paul is expected to defend the US Title against LA Knight at Clash at the Castle on June 15. The storyline is anticipated to kick off on tonight’s episode of SmackDown, with WWE potentially announcing the match during the broadcast.

• Chad Gable, a prominent WWE star known for his role as the leader of Alpha Academy, is at a career crossroads as his contract with WWE is set to expire today. Gable joins the ranks of other WWE talents like Ricochet and Natalya, whose contracts are also nearing their end. In recent months, Gable has seen a renewed push, catching the eye of both WWE and AEW.
Gable’s resurgence in WWE has been marked by his leadership of Alpha Academy and a notable heel turn. His performance has drawn comparisons to Kurt Angle, highlighting his growing significance within the promotion. However, as his contract expiration looms, both WWE and AEW are vying for his talent.
According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE has made an “excellent” offer to retain Gable. Despite this, AEW is also showing strong interest, with key figures within the company advocating for Tony Khan to sign him. Legally, AEW cannot present a formal offer until Gable’s WWE contract officially expires, which puts Gable in a position to weigh his options carefully.
The Observer noted, “AEW is not allowed legally to make an offer until his WWE deal expires. He does have key people in AEW pushing him to Tony Khan. Gable would have to allow his contract to expire to get an offer.”
As speculation swirls around Gable’s next move, he remains a central figure in WWE’s current storylines. He is still advertised to challenge for the Intercontinental Title against Sami Zayn at Clash at the Castle next Saturday, adding another layer of intrigue to his immediate future.
