Here's one for all the Vince Russo hardcores out there!

Seriously though, could this happen?! It doesn't sound like the sort of gimmick bout Triple H would be interested in, but those brass knuckles have become the key plot device during Kevin Owens' feud vs. Logan Paul. Using the knuckles actually cost KO the chance to become US Champ at the Rumble.

There are certainly wackier ideas than bunging the brass on a pole and seeing if Owens and Paul can make something of a typically-naff stipulation. They've got chemistry together as it is, but they'd deserve statues if they could make the most of an old latter-day WCW favourite either at Elimination Chamber or 'Mania.

Dunno, something about the brass knuckles being suspended high above the ring just makes sense for the rivalry. The first guy to reach them could legally clock his opponent and take the belt. Kev doing that to Logan sounds like fun payoff to their story.
