During Logan Paul's title reign, he received much criticism from fans who were unhappy with the inconsistency of his title defenses. His first defense was against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble in January. This was followed by a high-stakes triple-threat match against Owens and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40.
Despite these defenses, Paul's reign ended last weekend at SummerSlam, where he lost the championship to LA Knight. In his 279-day reign, Paul became the third-longest reigning US Champion in WWE history.
Although Paul's reign was criticized by fans, WWE officials backstage viewed it more positively. They appreciated the extensive publicity Paul brought to the championship and the many high-profile performances he made while holding the belt. His time as champion, despite the mixed reception, contributed significantly to WWE.
