Logan Paul retains US title with epic win over Randy Orton & Kevin Owens at WWE WrestleMania 40
WrestleMania XL geared up for a high-stakes showdown as United States Champion Logan Paul faced a monumental challenge in a Triple Threat Match against the formidable duo of Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. The Social Media Megastar found himself in hot water after making more enemies than allies since capturing the U.S. Title from Rey Mysterio last October.
Paul’s troubles began when he wronged Owens by resorting to underhanded tactics to secure a victory via disqualification during their clash at Royal Rumble. Since then, Owens has been relentless in his pursuit of retribution. Moreover, at WWE Elimination Chamber, Paul found himself at odds with Orton after an altercation that saw him feigning injury and resorting to dirty tactics to eliminate The Viper from contention.
In a surprising turn of events, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis intervened, announcing a Triple Threat Match for Paul’s U.S. Title defense at WrestleMania against Owens and Orton. Now, the Social Media Megastar must contend with two former U.S. Champions who boast championship pedigree and a history of success on the grandest stage of them all.
Both Orton and Owens have etched their names in WrestleMania history, having secured titles and competed in main events. In contrast, Paul’s WrestleMania track record includes a memorable clash with Seth “Freakin” Rollins that broke the internet, garnering record views on social media platforms.
As WrestleMania XL approaches, all eyes will be on Logan Paul as he attempts to navigate the treacherous waters of the Triple Threat Match and fend off the challenges posed by Orton and Owens. While Paul may be poised to break social media once again, the question remains: Can he retain his U.S. Title against two determined and hungry challengers?
