Logan Paul has returned to the world of professional wrestling, making an appearance on Friday Night SmackDown to announce a tournament to determine the next challenger for his United States championship. The announcement came as a surprise to many, as multi-man matches are often favored for such occasions. However, Paul revealed that a field of eight wrestlers will compete for the opportunity to face him for the title.
The participants in the tournament include Santos Escobar, Dragon Lee, Bobby Lashley, Karrion Kross, Austin Theory, Grayson Waller, Kevin Owens, and a wrestler from NXT. The inclusion of an NXT wrestler has sparked speculation and excitement, as it could potentially be a call-up for someone from the developmental brand. Paul himself teased, “it could be anyone,” leaving fans eagerly awaiting the revelation.
One wrestler who stands out in the field is Karrion Kross, who has been relatively inactive on television recently. This tournament provides him with a much-needed opportunity to showcase his skills and regain momentum. Fans will be watching closely to see if he can make an impact and potentially become the next contender for Paul’s United States championship.
As for early favorites, it is difficult to predict at this stage. Each participant brings their own unique style and strengths to the table, making it an unpredictable and exciting tournament. Fans will have to tune in to Friday Night SmackDown to see how the matches unfold and who emerges as the frontrunner.
