Cody Rhodes doesn’t need brass knuckles to beat Logan Paul at King and Queen of the Ring

After feuding on the penultimate edition of SmackDown, getting into it at the King and Queen of the Ring Kickoff event, and throwing jabs at each other on social media, Cody Rhodes marched down to the ring in Saudi Arabia on the Blue Brand’s go-home show to address the crowd in Jeddah, but unfortunately, he wouldn’t be given the first words in his solo segment.

That’s right, just as Rhodes was getting ready to ask the crowd what they wanted to talk about, Logan Paul marched down to the ring to interrupt his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship foe, revealing why he’s going to leave Saudi Arabia as a double champion.

“For the third time I’m walking down the aisle in Saudi Arabia with a championship in my sights. And unfortunately this time, you’re the victim because tomorrow night, brother, I’m walking out of here with the Undisputed Title on my shoulder,” Logan Paul told fans in Saudi Arabia. “Yeah, the one you’re holding right now as well as the United States Championship. Cause I’ve got some facts for you, Cody Rhodes: while you may have the edge in experience, brother, I’m smarter than you. All that bleach must be getting into Cody’s brain is making him dumb. Cause here’s one thing I know Cody, I’m certainly a better athlete than you, a better entertainer than you and a better performer than you. And for anyone out there who think I need to use cheap tactics to win you’re wrong, just yesterday you saw me give my brass knuckles to Michael Cole and you have my word that I will not use them in the match tomorrow.”

“Logan, maybe you’re smarter than me,” Cody Rhodes admitted. “Sure, I’m not an idiot, and my experience would lead me to believe that you’re just a scared, scared kid. You’re afraid that somebody is going to see you as a fraud in WWE; a YouTuber pretending to be a pro wrestler. Cosplay. Truth is Logan, I don’t believe that, I have seen just how good you are, but I’ve also seen that you have a case of imposter syndrome, and standing in this ring with me face to face, my gut and my experience would lead me to believe that you’ve got another set of knuckles on you right now.”

While Paul attempted to convince everyone that he was a man of his word, Rhodes didn’t believe it, and with the help of a referee, the “American Nightmare” found that his foe had, in fact, brought a second set of brass knuckles to the show just in case. Still, Paul wasn’t going to go easily, as he still wanted to use his promo time to send a message to the “Maverick.”
