Logan Paul returns

LA Knight has been calling out Logan Paul for a long time for a championship match, but Logan hasn’t appeared, taking Knight’s challenge lite. Last week, Knight got his United States Championship contract signed by Nick Aldis. He just needed a signature from Logan Paul to make the US Championship match official for SummerSlam.

At this stage, Logan Paul will be making his return this week on SmackDown, to address Knight’s challenge and sign the contract. As per speculations, Logan will decline the challenge, but at the end of the show, will be forced to sign the contract, to make it official.

Andrade vs Carmelo Hayes

Last week, Carmelo Hayes interfered with Andrade during his interview, while addressing his future. This pissed off Andrade, which made him call for a match with Hayes next week, and was later made official. As per speculations, Andrade will defeat Hayes, but will be attacked by LDF after the match.

Cody Rhodes will be live

Last week on SmackDown, The Bloodline assaulted Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton in the main event of the show. Following that, Rhodes will be addressing the brutal attack on him and Orton this week on the blue brand.
