During the upcoming premium live event, WWE SummerSlam, Logan Paul will defend his United States Championship. He burst onto the WWE scene in 2022 and has made a huge impact since his arrival. In his first year, he faced top stars such as Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio, The Miz, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins.
Behind the Scenes of Logan Paul's Crown Jewel Main Event
With WWE recognizing Logan Paul's potential, it was only a matter of time before he would win a singles championship. At WWE Crown Jewel, he defeated Rey Mysterio to win his first WWE singles title, the United States Championship. Paul's victory came with the use of brass knuckles.
Despite holding the title for over 250 days, making him the longest reigning champion on the current roster, Logan Paul's reign has been criticized. Fans have voiced their displeasure over the limited number of title defenses. To date, Paul has only defended the championship twice during his tenure.
Paul's first defense was against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble in January, followed by a triple threat match against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40. Despite fan criticism, recent reports suggest WWE is pleased with his reign.
