Jey Usos reign as World Heavyweight Champion has been nothing short of eventful, but things are about to get even more intense. According to Joe from WrestleVotes, WWE is looking to book Usos next title defense against Logan Paul at Saturday Nights Main Event on May 24th in Tampa, Florida.
During a Q&A session with wrestling journalist Bill Apter, Joey hinted that WWE is gradually building up the rivalry between Uso and Paul. Dont believe so but I could see that match happening at the May 24th Saturday Nights Main Event. So, well see. But I think thats where theyre going, he said.
The potential showdown comes after a chaotic episode of WWE RAW on May 5, where Uso faced Seth Rollins in a World Heavyweight Championship match that ended in a disqualification thanks to outside interference from Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and CM Punk. While the Netflix broadcast ended with Uso still holding his gold, the real drama unfolded after the cameras stopped rolling.
Footage shared across social media shows Logan Paul blindsiding Jey Uso at ringside, sucker-punching the champ while wearing a black hoodie. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE made the call to keep the segment exclusive to social media, explaining, The idea was that WWE would push this angle on social media.
Usos World Heavyweight Title win came at WrestleMania 41, where he ended GUNTHERs 258-day reign by making him tap out. Since then, Logan Paul has been relentless in calling out Uso, claiming he could take the title without breaking a sweat. Now, with the rumored match set for Saturday Nights Main Event, the stage is set for a clash that could shake up the main event scene.
