Prediction: LA Knight will use his 'Mania win over AJ Styles as a stepping stone towards dethroning Logan Paul to become the brand new United States Champion. Fans there live for Sunday's show popped huge when Knight scored the victory over AJ, and it shouldn't be lost on anybody how big that was for LA's career.

What a show of faith from management.

Of course, folks already knew that WWE had strapped a rocket to the babyface sensation. He didn't get to wrestle Roman Reigns for the title in Saudi Arabia for nothing, y'know. WWE's patient approach with the charismatic star has paid off, but now he needs to taste gold and make that momentum count.

Paul is Knight's most logical target. They've already gone face-to-face on TV last year, so there's some history to dip into for video packages. That preview will give way to a full on feature length feud between the pair. Then, it'll peak with LA winning his first singles strap.
