Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring Logan Paul and WWE commentary teams.
• At WWE SummerSlam 2024, LA Knight defeated Logan Paul to win the United States Championship.
However, Logan thinks he didn’t lose at the biggest event of the summer. He claims that his foot was on the bottom rope.
On his Impaulsive podcast, Logan said he’s going to have a rematch for the US Title:
“At the end of the day, it’s always going to be my belt. It’s my belt. I see it on him, but everyone knows that US Title is mine. So you can have it for now, for the time being, but I’m coming back for a rematch because I don’t know if y’all saw… my foot was on the rope.
It was on the rope on number three. One, two, and my foot just bounced off the rope. In wrestling terms, that means it doesn’t count.”
