Final stipulation of 'Champion vs Champion' match officially confirmed on SmackDown following major swerve by Logan Paul

The 29-year-old star fired shots against his opponent and said that he hadn’t done anything to deserve the title shot. He mentioned his brother Jake Paul and his much-awaited fight against WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson in July. Enraged by the new stipulation, Rhodes signed the contract and made a statement by powerbombing one of Logan’s allies through the table.

After dethroning Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL, Rhodes successfully defeated fellow Georgian AJ Styles to retain his title at Backlash. Meanwhile, Paul is coming off one of the greatest wins of his career over Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. It will be interesting to see whether The American Nightmare manages to defeat the unexpected adversary by dodging his shenanigans.

Booker T gave huge props to Logan Paul for his tenure in WWE

When Logan Paul made his first appearance in WWE, many fans weren’t happy and felt that he didn’t deserve to be there. However, with his dedication and performance in the ring, he not only impressed the fans but also earned the respect of his peers. Witnessing the success he has been achieving, Booker T showered The Maverick with heaps of praise.

While speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast, he was severely impressed by how well Logan understood the wrestling business. King Booker stated that whenever he watched him wrestle, it felt like he had been wrestling for a long time. The Hall of Famer also praised how he knew how to go out and perform in front of a jam-packed crowd.

Logan Paul is not someone from this business, but it seems like, from a timing perspective, from knowing how to go out and perform on both ends, he’s that damn good. I give him big props. Booker T on Logan Paul via the Hall of Fame podcast [H/T : Fightful]

Upon being asked his thoughts on the match between him and Rhodes, Booker T said that the match would benefit both of them. While he called Rhodes a professional and trusted his ability to make Logan look like a superstar, he also said that a win against the U.S. Champion would only make him more credible as the world champion.
