Logan Paul To Challenge Jey Uso For World Heavyweight Championship
Jey Uso will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Logan Paul on 25th May.
The feuding duo have been at odds since Uso captured the coveted gold after a shock win over Gunther on Night One of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Paul has made no secret of his desire to hold another singles title in WWE having enjoyed a 273 day reign as United States Champion before being defeated by LA Knight at SummerSlam 2024.
The often-controversial entrepreneur snuck through the crowd to attack Uso on the 5th May edition of Raw, just moments after Uso had competed in his first World Championship title defence against Seth Rollins. The bout had already ended in disqualification after a returning CM Punk had attacked the villainous Rollins with a steel chair.
With tensions between Uso and Paul now at a fever pitch, WWE have announced that the pair will meet for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event on 25th May. The event will emanate from the Yeungling Center in Tampa, Florida
Logan Paul Receives Praise From Triple H
Logan Paul has been praised by WWE Chief Content Officer, Triple H.
‘The Maverick’ has impressed with his in-ring abilities since making his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38, with a string of impressive bouts against the likes of Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and AJ Styles to his name.
Triple H recently praised the 30 year-old Superstar, noting that he should now be considered as a full-time talent rather than an occasional celebrity competitor.
