After weeks of escalating tension on SmackDown, culminating in a fiery confrontation at the King and Queen of the Ring Kickoff event, Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul finally faced off in Saudi Arabia. The crowd in Jeddah buzzed with anticipation as Rhodes took the mic, ready to address his fans. However, Logan Paul had other plans and interrupted to make his own statement.
Striding confidently to the ring, Paul declared, “For the third time, I’m walking down the aisle in Saudi Arabia with a championship in my sights. This time, Cody, you’re the victim. Tomorrow night, I’m walking out with the Undisputed Title and the United States Championship. While you may have experience, I’m smarter, a better athlete, and a better performer.”
Cody Rhodes, ever the veteran, responded with a mix of respect and skepticism. “Logan, you might be smarter than me, but I see through your bravado. You’re afraid of being seen as a fraud, a YouTuber playing wrestler. I believe in your talent, but I also believe you’ve got another set of brass knuckles on you right now.” A quick search by a referee proved Rhodes right, revealing Paul’s hidden brass knuckles.
Caught but unflustered, Paul tried to joke his way out, claiming the knuckles weren’t his. “These aren’t even my pants, bro. But fine, take them. I don’t need brass knuckles to beat you, Cody. Tomorrow, I’ll prove I’m better than you fair and square!”
Rhodes, holding the confiscated knuckles, delivered his final word. “Logan, these are a crutch for you, a way to get another click. This title is my life, everything I’ve ever wanted. Until you dedicate yourself fully, you’ll never be on my level. Tomorrow, I’m going to beat you so badly, you’ll regret ever stepping into this ring with me.”
The tension peaked, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the epic showdown. All that was left was for these two competitors to settle their score in the ring, promising a thrilling match in Saudi Arabia
